MILESTONES, Page 75
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.
