Witches : Ghosts
viii Be Abroad
Tomorrow Night

Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge better
remove their lawn furniture to
places of safety, hide the all
important garden hose and leave
the porch light burning Saturday
night-for it will be Halloween!
While school children have been
warned that destructive pranks
this year will be, not only un-
patriotic. but run the far graver
danger of serving as a cloak for
the activities of saboteurs, there
will nevertheless be home and
school activities of wholesome,
old-fashioned fun in celebration of
Halloween, with shivers and chills
aplenty to satisfy the young ad'
venture seekers.
So don't be surprised tomorrow
night, to see ghosts stalking Main
Street, and witches riding broom
sticks, as they press your door
bells and scurry away.

Youth Forges Ahead
In War Time Aviation

Unquestionably, this is a young
mans Air Force. To further ell
aborate on that statement, IL
should be noted here at William
Field, one man out of approxim'
ately every seven non-comm1s-
stoned officers, is under twenty
one years of age.
Ranging from Corporal to
First Sergeant, these men hold
some of the most responsible
positions on the Field. Donald
C. Humphrey who became 20 in
April of this year, was First Ser
geant of the Medical Detachment
when he was 10, giving him the
title of youngest First Sergeant
at Williams Field"
The youngest non-com is Corp
oral John Mccormick, Jr. of the
9S6th School Squadron. His eight
eenth birthday came on April 4,
1912. Mccormick is native of
Phoenix.
Every squadron on the Field
has several men ranging in age
from 10 to 20. No count has been
taken from among the ranks of
private and private first class,
but it is estimated that they would
drop the ratio, taking all enlisted
men into consideration, from one
out of about 20, to one out of
about IS.
Without a doubt, youth is on
| the march.

Coast Has Hopes
For Races

OAKLAND. Cal. June IL tINS).
Hope that California may have
a major horse race meeting this
season despite the war grew today
as Alameda County supervisors
asked to sell the Pleasanton race
track. 20 miles southeast of Oak
land, to the newly organized Ala
media County Race Association.
Minimum selling price was set by
the board at $4,000.
Sam Whiting. president OF the
racing association, said he repre-
sented a group ready. willing and
anxious to buy" He added that
the association has been allocated
40 days of racing by the state
horse racing board.
Approval for the proposed meet
must still be granted by the army
or navy. All other California COM
mercial tracks have postponed
their meets this season at the re-
quest OF military officials.

the putter he'd been looking for.
It's upright, permitting him to
stand well over the ball, putting
style he prefers. Also. the weight
is just right. While the grip was
worn thin and ragged through
long use, tape would correct that.
SUBSTITUTES GOOD ONE
Given permission TO take the
club. Whiting substituted one Of
his own, almost a brand new one
and worth $3.50 AS a result. some
soldier will be the winner through
the swap. The original owner
probably would have given the old
putter TO Whiting for the asking.
Certainly il wouldn't have brought
more than two bits at an auction
sale.
Whiting, who completed his first
year at Notre Dame this spring,
played in his first college match
Saturday and won. He hopes to he
permitted 10 compete in the Ma

ferred TO the williams Gun Club

secretary of the Michigan Skeet

= NEW YORK. June IL tUP)-|
Zone year ago a lanky. black-eyed|
Italian boy was approaching stheI
half way mark in his race towards
an all-time baseball record. Jolting
Joe DiMaggio had stretched his
hitting streak through "a consecu-
Hive games, fattening his average
TO a corpulent 1928. He was hot
tier than a Fourth of July sunburn.
Today, the same DiMaggio is
kbatting .263.
~ One year ago another member
fof the New York Yankees was
Establishing himself as one OF the
3kreat fielding second basemen OF
fthe modern generation. His name
Twas Joe Gordon. He was triple
distilled sensation. His batting
average was DAB.
la Today, the same Gordon Is hit
Rting .387.
= This newest OF the Yankees
t3olting Joes is far above and bey-
fond the DiMaggio of 1871. He Is
LIB points higher in the averages
than DiMaggio was on the same
pate. Thus he sets the pace in
both leagues. AS well. he is prob
ably one OF the most mystified
gentlemen at the ball parks. He
doesn't know how he Is doing II.
Just call IL luck" Gordon
said as ne raped the bench in

knuckles. Just call II luck and
just hope II holds mp. haven't
the faintest idea Of what r.
changed about me. except that
the pitchers are throwing the
ball where I'm swinging and
I'm hitting where there are no
fieIders. As far M I know 1
haven't consciously changed q
thing"
Joe's case Is peculiar. He has
ever before batted higher than
I 400. This mark was rung up
with Oakland OF the Pacific Coast
League. In the majors his best
effort was a .2S4 with New York
in 1889. His lifetime average is
l275. So, at the moment, he is
Ill points above the medium OF
his career and SO above the most
bloated record for any single year.
I'm swinging the Same way"
he said with a puzzled frown.
81 haven't altered my stance or
-khifted my timing. III there n
any explanation. it II merely
&that I'm not hitting as many
fly halls. In the Yankee Stadium
ny ball doesn't mean much,
because you have 90 hit II n mile
or YOU are nm easy out. This
gyear I'm knocking out more
grounders.
why am I knocking out
more grounderse You tell me!
Outside of using n few differ
sent bats, I don't know. As for
the pitchers. well, II may sound
like bragging--it really isn't
hut none of them have been
really tough. I just swing and
the ball IL there. As long ~ II

NEW YORK, June 11.-Out of a
heave knows where,
comes a letter from Maj. Johnny
Roosma. who played baseball and
everything else he could lay his
hands on at West Point. about the
time General Macarthur was
and Hans Lobert,
now manager of the Pills, was
baseball coach.
In an interview, Lobcrt spoke 10
us feelingly about his old boys. and
related how Roosma had cabled
congratulations 10 him when Hans
was made manager Of the Pills.
The cable came out of the fire and
birthstone Of Pearl Harbor.
ANY one who played for
Hans, loved him." Major Roosma
writes, excusing his writing be-
cause 1.-The dug0ut Is too dark"
He adds, "he knew the game,
played IL hard and coached Ii
well. His big smile, personality
and drive had qualities of leader
ship that are most essential I'm
an army officer. Any one who
played for him could not fail to
inherit some of these qualities.
"Hans was all business on the
baseball field. He taught us to
stay In there and fight until the
last pitch" writes this line Off
Ger. 81 venture to say that he
has more students In this war,
leading troops, than any other
coach. You can bet they'll be In
there with that 'yea-ha' spirit.
"Yea-ha Is the morale word
