WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Hot
Stove league flash: MIR. William
A. MCGOWAN is suffering from a
perennial attack of mid-winter
misery.
AT first glance the stocky Mr..
MCGOWAN. alias Jumps Bill Nc
Gowan of the American league,
seems to be his hearty self but
there's a restless CLEAN in his
eyes and he's running a fever.
The baseball madness is on him
and he fears his case will grow
steadily worse until he can get
out there lodging foul tips, beer
bottles, cushions, cabbages and
the torrid invectives of the dia-
mond daffies.
This may astonish those who
think there is urgent need of a Be
Kind to Umpires week--or year
but after % years of officiating
with only three days off In that
long stretch, the 44-year-old Nc
Gowan says with Enthusiastically
honest ardor that he still loves
it.
MCGOWAN believes the fans are
more considerable of the jumps
than they We're in his earlier
days. They're smarter, he says,
and soon get wise to players who
try to cover up their own mis-
takes by blaming the umpire.
"a vast majority of the players
are reasonable, too, he said.
Generally, the better the player
the less trouble we have with
him. Such stars as Jimmy Foxx.
Charlie Gehringer. Bob Teller
and Joe DiMaggio never get
mean with US.
MCGOWAN says the toughest
decision he had to call was in
Baltimore, with Baltimore and
Buffalo fighting it out for the In
iternational league pennant back
in the early twenties.
In the first of the ninth, the
score 5 to 4 in favor of Baltimore
Buffalo was at bat. the base:
loaded and one out. The batter

and third that looked like a SURE
hit. Joe Boley, Baltimore's stat

the ball. Boley got his glovec
hand on it but MCGOWAN, stand

drop from his glove about al
inch from the ground. Boley in
stanfly covered the ball with hi

it to third. Thinking it was dou

crowds made ready to leave TIT

and said: Are you crazy? Tha

Said MCGOWAN:

YOUNG AMERICA BOND-CONSCIOUS

ALL YOU have to do is Remember Pearl Har-
"A bor' and YOU will automatically JOIN the De-
fense Bond stampede.
Previous to Congress declaring war on Japan,
the Treasury Department held a conference to
consider how to awaken the country to the need
of purchasing more United States Defense Bonds
and Stamps. The people seemed to think nothing
could happen here, so why spend money on bonds
YOU could use for Christmas gifts?
They are now so conscious of the need that
many are eliminating the age-od gifts and pre-
senting their families and friends with bonds and
stamps as their Christmas token.
The young as well as the old are bond-con-
scious-and why not? They will be the sufferers
in the end They will not only have to pay the war
debt in years to come, but will go to the front in
uniforms and fight. They are good Americans in
every respect Until their country went to war
they grumbled about going to camp, but since the
outbreal-there has been no stopping the vol
unteerS.
Some volunteer their service for action; others
who can't get into the thick Of things save their
pennies to purchase bonds and stamps. No Won
der it is pounded into them at every turn. They
pick up a newspaper if only to read the funnles
and find their favorite characters purchasing the
bonds; the billbOards fling it at them, they attend
a movie and are confronted with plea. Even
their faVOrite evening sport OF taking the girl
friend out to dance to the music OF the Juke box
doesn't let them forget. At any time you are liable
to hear the wcll-known Andrews Sisters burst
forth singing ANY Bonds Today?"
Young Americans are the backbone OF the
nation and now that they have become conscious
of the needs of their country nothing WILL or car
stop us. America Will win!
