Frank Nekola, Holy Cross portsider who defeated Harvard last Saturday, signed a pitching agreement with the New York American League baseball club two years ago, according to a reported announcement from Judge Landis unconfirmed last night. O'Donnell, director of athletics at Holy Cross, received the following telegram late yesterday afternoon from Judge Landis' secretary: "Nekola agrees to join the New York Yankees, June 22, for specified salary which will begin the day he reports."
If the story is true, this means that Nekola's days as a college pitcher are over. "The best we can do if the report is confirmed," O'Donnell said late last night, "Is to write our apologies to any colleges he pitched against after signing the agreement, and forfeit the games in which he participated after the agreement was signed."
Nekola has been considered the best pitcher in college baseball all this year. He has won 11 games, and has not dropped one.
