- <p> DIED. John ("Jocko") Conlan, 89, colorful but respected
- National League umpire from 1941 to 1965; in Scottsdale, Ariz.
- One of the few men in blue elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame,
- Conlan was an injured outfielder for the Chicago White Sox in
- 1935, when he changed careers by substituting for an umpire who
- collapsed in the 114 degrees heat. In his first game he called
- out teammate Luke Appling on a close play and got into an
- argument with his own manager.
