Draft Near, Greenberg Likely
To Start Service in Spring

If Hank must go into the Army
there will be moaning in Briggs
Stadium during the coming base
ball campaign, because Greenberg
has been great hero. On the other
hand, the Army may rejoice.
For Greenberg, industrious and
conscientious, would set first-class
example for other toiling rockies in
Army khaki if he works as hard
for Uncle Sam as he has worked for
the Detroit Tigers.
First on the field and the last to
leave"-that's what ball players
have said of Greenberg. He labors
long and earnestly. Even in the
locker room he practices his batting
swing.
