Stars Of the sports world, from
top flight lurninaries to rockies in
all branches of athletics, have
snapped their flannels and silks
for Army uniform and are car
rying on at posts throughout the
country, the War Department re-
vealed today in a partial list Of
sports figures now in service.
Baseball. football, boxing,
golf, track and field, basketball,
ali have contributed their
share, both professionals and
amateurs. Almost every large
post in the Continental United
States can produce its headline
figure. And the sectional and
state champions total into
large numbers.
Perhaps the most publicized of
these sportsmen-soldiers are Pri-
vate Joe Louis, world heavyweight
boxing champion; Sergeant Hank
Greenberg, star of the Detroit
Tigers baseball club; Corporal Jim
TlInesa, golfing great; Norman
Standlee, of the Chicago Bears
football champions; and Lieuten-
ant John Woodruff, Olympic track
champion.
A host of other greats, both
Of the present and near-past,
are numbered among the
Army's athletes.
Baseball, for instance, has con-
tributed not alone Greenberg,
whose mighty batting feats group
him with Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb
and Hans Wagner, but Cecil Travis
and Buddy Lewis, of the WASH
ington Senators; Hugh Mulcahy, of
the Philadelhia Phils, and a score
of other big leaguers. A host Of
minor leaguers, their names too
numerous for listing, are in the
Army.
Football, both professional
and intercollegiate, is well rep
resented. Standlee, of the Chi
cagO Bears, has been mention
ed, but there are also Dave
Smuckler, of the Philadelphia
Eagles, and Ralph Miller, Green
Bay Packers linemen, from the
pro ranks.
