Gus is Back;
Going Stronger
Than Euer

est. LOUIS, May Is - R-
res been . long time since Gus
Mancuso caught his first game
for the st. Louis Cardinals back
in 1928.
The little backstop-Walking
catalog Of National League bat
ting weaknesses-has played on
Ave pennant winning teams since
then. Now, he's back home"
and going stronger than ever
a veteran who Is young again.
A lot of factors have COM
bined to get the Cardinals away
to Q fast start in pursuit Of their
first pennant in seven years, but
Mancuso's handling of rookie
pitchers stands out above every
thing else in the Red Bird
drive.
The youngstersNSam Nahem,
John Grodzicki, Hank Gornicki,
Howard Krist and Ernie White
have won eight decisions while
dropping only two.
The reason for such . uniform
ly fine showing is readily volun-
teered by one Cardinal hurler:
I. cts q little guy. by the name
Of Gus Mancuso."
Gus hasn't made . mistake
yet" said this admirer. He
knows all the hitters In the
league. And what he doesn't
know isn't In the book"
Joining in the praise, another
teammate remarked:
"You never saw such q come
back. He's been rifling line
drives between outfielders till
they're sick. Every day. What
. hitter. What q catcher"
Mancuso IL leading the team
with q batting average Of .395.
Gus played on two Cardinal
championship clubs before start
ing his three-stop tour Of the
National League.

tin, "but I don't want to give
up the So or $40 I make to see
q game. Why can't we have
more night games? One every
week-or two a week. / know
Q hundred other fellows in our
little plant who feel the same
way about it."
They all say the same thing,
commented Mack. and believe
they are right. / have noticed
the same situation all over the
circuit. The fans want to come
out to see baseball but they
haven't the time during the day"

Last year." continued the
veteran pilot, ''the American
League had its greatest year
with attendance surprising al
records. Nothing happened dur
ing the winter to dull the inter-
est. Yet this season the crowds
have been far below that Of last
year. And ! am sure the same
condition prevails in the Nation
al League.
I'VE want to give the fans
what they want-and they want
more night baseball now. II we
don't satisfy them we'll be left
holding the bag"

Departments to withhold all in

the activities or whereabouts Of
any military unit, naval or mer-
chant ship, individual members
of the armed forces and any
news which might be of use to
enemy agents.
Naturally, we are cooperating
with these requests regarding
the armed forces and merchant
marine, as well as members
thereof, except as passed on and
approved by the proper authori-
ties. This is NOT a form Of

of the sensitive points of key i'm
portance in the counties of Mont
gomery, Frederick and Howard had
been completed and by sunset Sat-
urday guards had been posted at
the most important of these SEN
sitive spots.
SUNDAY night, after 8 days of
active duty, nearly 500 of the men
Of each company of the 7th Bat
talon were released from the mo-
bilization call and reverted to their
former status as members Of their
respective State Guard companies
on inactive service. The men who
are required to do a reasonable
tour Of guard duty will receive reg
ular army pay.
"The mobilization for three days
active duty of the full strength of
the State Guard and the continued
guard duty by approximately 40
per cent Of the total strength Of
the 7th Battalion demonstrated
that the Maryland State Guard is
an alert group of responsible citi-
zens who possess a reasonable
amount of military equipment and
organization
"The call to active service al3o
evidenced the entire willingness of
the Governor of Maryland to CO.
operate with the regular army au-
thorities of the Ord Corps Area
which includes Maryland.
"A further very real benefit to
the people of Maryland, which to-
day can not be accurately valued,
is that this call to short term ae-
tive duty ironed out many of the
kinks which were latent in the or
ganization of the State Guard and
which could only have been elimin-
ated through at least one immG-
date call to active service"

The Maryland State Guard was
called into active service on Fri

Saturday, every member Of the
Battalion except one man had re-
ported for duty. This man was a
private in a Silver Spring Com
pany.
"The officers of the 7th Battalion
say is is as near par for the quick
mobilization of groups Of separate
county citizen soldiers as is pos
sible.
"The State Guard companies are
reasonably well equipped with
rifles and accompanying ordnance
uniforms, overcoats, shirts, caps
and leggings. Since the call to ac-
tive duty, the local companies have
received blankets, cots and pom
chos with limited supply of gal
oshes, waterproof hats and gloves.
