<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.
