HockeyFans Keeping Up Support Of Favorite Sport

Wartime hockey in the American Hockey league, has come through its first week of competition and there is gowing conviction among the off- cials of the eight clubs equally divided between the Eastern and Western divisions that the season Is going to be a successful one,
 While attendance figures for all of the games are not available at this writing, 1t appears that the dyed- -the-wool hockey fans are finding ways and means to surmount transportation problems brought about by the war,
 In numerous eases they are using busses and trolleys to attend the games wherever they happen to be within short haul distance of the rinks, Others are engaging in trad ing trips by automobile where the distance Is not too great, and still others are using the trains,
 Good Sign

Semi-Pros All Set For '43 As Majors Cross Fingers
l5o.ooo Signed For TouFneys
 Under Dumont
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Chicago, - While major league owners cross their fingers and worry about Glass D and c circuits, not to mention themselves, Ray Dumont has hts National Semi-Pro Baseball Congress program all set for ioAS.
 In seven years. Dumont, peppery citizen of Wichita, has built the National Semi-pro Baseball Congress from an idea to an organization which in i043 is expected to Include 260 leagues. The record for organized baseball is e3. There were l0 affi- Hated semi-pro teams in io36.
 President Dumont plans 200 dis- trict tournaments, <8 state and four national, the latter in Wichita; Tor onto, Havana and San Juan, P. R. UMPIREs, SCORERS IN LINE
 His nationwide contrast system, patterned after that Of organized baseball, has resulted in i60,0o0 players being signed as protection for sponsors.
 He has National Association of i Umpires with 10000 members, 6 National Association of Scorers with 2000.
 He is publishing an annual guide to show the healthy condition of sandlotters the past season, climax cd by the annual national tourna- ment in Wichita, which attracted i25 900 spectators.
 It has been the youth of the nation which in the past has been attracted to baseball by the seni- pro congress. The coming year will include many former professionals. Most of the tossers from the or. ganized ranks will be in industrial plants engaged in the war effort or In military camps.
 Both Of the latter claSsihcatio will be represented in the i943 pro- gram, which IS the principal reason seen for an unprecedented semi- professional boom.
 Dumont sees semi professional clubs replacing those in number of the smaller minor leagues.
 PEsKY OUT or sEMI-PRos
 When Johnny Pesky, the Boston Red Sox shortstop, was voted the No. l American League recruit Of l042, the happieSt person, other than those in the Pesky famility, was Dumont.
 Pesky and Freddie Hutchinson, for whom the Detroit club paid S76,- 900, and Rube Melton of the Phillies are among players who made good as professionals after being given their starts by the National semi- Pro Baseball Congress.
 Major league officials gave Du- mont the cold shoulder in ie3b, when he attempted to tell them of his plans to expand sandlot baseball acc tivities throughout the country.
 Organized baseball could use an Idea man like Ray Dumont now.

SINKWICH ONLY
 TRIpLE-THREAT STANDOUT BACK

 Chicago, Nov. l9 --(Up)- The triple threat back today is doing e fade out" from big time collegiate football.
 The extent to which grid special. ists have replaced the talented stars, who In former years ran, passed and punted, Is clearly indi- cated by the latest compilations of the American football statistical bu- reau. The figures show no player able to gain Q place among the nations 20 leaders in all three iil- dividual departments.
 The closest thing to the versatile all-around back that every coach demanded and counted upon a few seasons back Is Frankie Sinkwich, ace of the University of Georgia's $ undefeated and united outfit.
 Sinkwich is the only player able to rate In the "top ten" in two de- partmentS. The Bulldog star Is fourth among the passers and eighth among the ball carriers.
 Sinkwich has netted ii23 yards by passing and 692 by rushing for An aggregate of 1915 yards in nine games and a commanding lead In total offense.
 The brilliant Georgia youngster is virtually a cinch to establish a new all-time total offense record, He Is only li3 yards short of the ,aa a rlr NEttAH GaI1wtarL aR Nya eh Ia U . ton university Of St. Louis set a season ago and has two contests remaining.
 If Sinkwich even approaches his seasonal ground gaining average In the battles against Auburn and Georgia Tech he'll become the first back in modern history to gain g. 900 or more yards in a season,
 Paul dovernali of Columbia k second In total offenSe with 1866 yards and Bill Dutton of Pittsburgh third with l256 yards.
 Governali missed Q chance to take over the individual passing lead when he had his first poor day ot the season last Saturday against Navy. He hit on only three out Of 10 losses against the Middies Ray Evans of Kansas Is the leader with s3 compilations In l69 attempts Goyernal Is second with 70 com. pletlonS In i46 chances and Turn bull Gillette of Virginia third with Il compilations out of i22 passes.

Protected Rights

Up in Boston Mayor Tobin has launched a personal campaign of his own to see that there are no wholesale re- movals from the clty's voting lists of men and women who may be presently en- gagged in war service. Election laws vary throughout the various states. One of the requirements, evidently, in Boston is that the names of voters be listed by police in January of the year in which the election takes place. Following this years police-listing many names were dropped from the lists.
 A check-up by the mayor revealed that a majority of these were soldiers or men in some branch of the service. The law also states that these names can't go back on the lists in time for the Novem- Der voting unless the owners appear per sonally and register. In many respects this is good law, but in time of war it certainly works an injustice on thousands of eligible voters. Perhaps they won't be able to cast absentee ballots, but they should not be denied their rights and certainly one of them is eligibility to vote. We hope Mayor Tobin carries his point.

Our Pledge, Too

Some news events provide their own editorial comments. Such, we believe, is the pledge sent to President Roosevelt by SIS workers in the National Transit Pump & Machine Works of Oil City, Pa. Perhaps you have read it in the news kolumns. Even then, it's worth reading again, slowly and meditatively:
 q realize that am a soldier of pro- duction, whose duties are as important in this war as those of the man behind the gun.
 T will do my work well and efficiently and will stay on my job, producing to the best of my ability, until my shift ends.
 ''I will carry out my duties in accord arce with instructions.
 T will think before act.
 "I will endeavor to save material by avoiding mistakes and spoilage.
 'sI will be careful of my health and prevent accidents, to avoid loss of time.
 T will keep by working place tidy and in order.
 s'All to the end that we may succeed in our efforts to increase production and attain the goal set as necessary to carry us to the final decisive victory over our treacherous enemies who now are threat ening the homes of our children and the liberty of our nation"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-30

But there is higher conception of freedom. The philosopher Kant set this forth when he declared that freedom does not mean freedom to do what one wants to do, but free dom to do what is right. Our Lord declared that we shall know the truth and the truth shall make us free. He also declared that if He makes US free, then are we free indeed.
 Charles Kingsley once said, 'There are two freedoms; the false, where a man is free to do what he likes, and the true, where man is free to do what he ought" Happi- ness is built on the latter. Those who insist on the right to do what ever they want to do plunge through life like a mad bull rusing through china shop and fall headlong at last over the precipice.
