FULTZ TO FIND

Question Whether Men in

Play Game Up to Frat
Leader.

Do American soldiers in the war
zone prefer to have their baseball
played by the very best diamond
material in the expeditionsry forces
the professionals, semiprofes-
sionals and college stars in their
ranks-or do they lean toward
sandlot scrub-team games with ev-
cry man of them playing?
That is a problem engaging the
deepest thought of Dave Fultz. for
merly of Brown University. still
later organizer of the Baseball
Players Fraternity, and now one
of the prominent athletes who are
going abroad as Y. NJ. C. A. phys

by the best professionals instead OF
being content with playing the
game themselves" said Fultz, be-
tween a course in simple-games-
that-soldiers-like- and an
of camps overseas.
The problem over there is diff
ferent, and I'm not going to have
any fixed opinion until 1 have stud
led the situation and have sounded
the sentiment. On this side the SOL
diers in camps and cantonments
have been able to slip away to pro-
fessional baseball games, where
they could yell. applaud and work
of steam. But it's an entirely diff
ferent problem with the soldiers
over there coming back from days
in the trenches under fire.
THE Y. NJ c. A. men just back
from the front told US that when
the soldiers come out from their
period under fire they are half
crazy, they don't want to go to the
movies or anything like that. but
they want to do something-get a
stuffed club. play some games, take
vigorous exercises to ease their
nerves.
IF men don't want to see the
movies at such a time, they prob
ably won't care to sit through a
ball game played by mines picked
from the eighteen best men in two
units or even in one; they will want
to get out like they did when they
were kids on the sandlots and
whale away at the ball, hit. run
