Baseball Stars Are Ready to Shoulder Arms
Year in Army Menoces Careers but Players Are Willing

liant careers, just as it would
in any other profession. But there
is a little more than baseball at
stake now.
Take the case of Hank Green
berg, our Detroit outfelder and
one of the best ball players in
modern history. He's only 20, and
he's very likely to be drafted. II
he goes in June and returns to
baseball in June of 1912 he has
had not one, but two, seasons
taken from his career.
Ball players, even if they are
extremely fortunate, can't hope
for more than 10 major league
years. The people forget that a
ball player must cram his ca
reer into q far briefer span than
the average individual. If Hank
should b. out two years he would

have a hard time getting back to
his old form.
But I'd bet that Hank, or
any other ball player, wouldn't
whimper a second about being
called in the draft"
Higgins said he had heard ru-
mors that efforts might be made
to form training groups among
ball players that would permit
them to continue playing base
ball, perhaps train an hour or
two daily under Army supervi-
sion.
But doubt that a thing like
that would work satisfactorily"
he added.
Only a few of the big names
in baseball, such as Charley
Gehringer and Red Ruff1ng, are
over the draft age limit, Higgins
pointed out.

President Clark Griffith settled, in

didn't work out. There's no use IN
talking about it and discussing
names, since it didn't come off"
Bloodworth is the only member OF
the three Mats who signed contracts
who figures prominently in l94l

dispensable, inasmuch as Griffith

trying to find Another second sacker.
Carrasquel had a fair season last

They are the fifth, sixth and

cessors having been Pitcher Sid

Outfielders George Case and Ben

whom the Washington club was

ways have liked Gomez, bad arm

Southpaw Joe Krakauskas seemed
to indicate that another left-hander

be a champion of left-handers, his

By the Associated Press.


TAMPA, Fla, Jan. ll-Eddie
Alloo, tiny netter from Rollins Col
iege at Winter Park, Fla, today
upset himself into the Anal Of the
nth annual Dixie tennis tourna-
ment.
For the third straight day the
little fellow blasted his way through
a high-ranking star, and today's
victim was Bobby Riggs Of Chicago,
former national singles champion
and the present No. 2 player in the
country.
1t was an exhibition of some of
the greatest tennis courage ever
witnessed in the Dixie tournament.
Alloo took five sets to whittle Riggs,
tennis master SHOEMAKER, down to
his size for the kill.
The scores were: 36, IS, 46,
1913, 83.
The victory moved the Rollins
star into the final tomorrow after
noon against tall Frankie Kovacs'
the country's third ranking player
from Oakland, Calf, who beat Don
McNeill, the national singles cham
pion from Oklahoma City.
McNeill, apparently over-tennised
from his recent tour of South

working and lost in straight sets,

Throughout the tournament, AL
loo has displayed an unusual ability
for recovering. He came back in
the second set to even the match
today.
The battle see-sawed until it was
two sets all, but there never was
any doubt as to the winner once the
final set was under way.
Alloo was all over the court as
he sensed victory and place in the
final.

record for P. G. A.-Sanctioned tour
naments and equalled the score
