372nd On
Parade
BY 1T. L. M. FULLER

S72nd INFANTRY ON PARADE
NEW YORK-Here we are
standing on the sunset and
Threshold of the year 1871 and
1912, the former with its trag-
edies, soul stirring incidents,
facing the sunrise of the latter.
The officers and men of the
372nd Infantry take great
pleasure in joining in that long
established custom of saying:
Happy New Year" to all Of our
friends. This includes every
reader of the Guardian who
reads our column. This year is
sure to bring about some caty-
clysrnic changes in our Ameri-
can way of life. America, to-
day, stands at the crossroads.
This Nation is at war with the
Land OF The Rising Sun" and
other Axis nations, and faces
the future with the world in
blood and turmoil.
The attitude of the members
of the GRIND Infantry is that
right must prevail and this war
must be won by the Allies.
Democracy must endure. In
this spirit all America must
seize the New Year and face
the future with grim determin-
alton and America must seize
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1942-01-10

the New Year and face the fu-
ture with grim determination
and courage. Since the Pearl
Harbor episode on December 7,
new and tedious problems have
arisen which requires patience,
GOODNESS, tolerance and forbear-
ance in their solution. The Col
ored soldiers in the Army are
anxious to do their part in
helping to solve these problems
in order that a peaceful world
may result. But there is a very
important part for the civilian
population to play. The high
est form of patriotism in times
like these may be expressed in
a total subordination Of ones
personal ambitions to the well
fare of the whole group regard
less of race, creed or color.
The 372nd Infantry is still
making good and m a k i n 6
Staunch friends here in Metro
politan New York. This was ev-
idenced by the many greeting
cards received within the city
as well as from without, the
many invitations to Christmas
and New Years Day dinners re-
ceived from within the city as
well as from without, the many
invitations to Christmas and
New Years Day dinners received
by the officers and enlisted
men. An officers party was
given on Christmas Night, and
a christmas Jamboree" was
given for the enlisted men on
Dec. 81; and on the night of
Dec. 81 New Years Party was
given for all. These occasions
were we'll attended and greatly
enjoyed by all. The soldiers who
went home for Christmas re-
port having a swell time, but
those who remained on post
had an equally enjoyable time.
All of these entertainments add
greatly to the morale of the
men which is very high in this
regiment. So, "a Happy and
Most Prosperous New Year to
All"

million dollars.
Foxx had performed for the Ath-
letics for IL years. as a catcher,
third baseman and first baseman,
before Yawkey bought him in 1885
for a reported s150,O00. He played a
total of 1885 games for Mack and
had an all-time Philadelphia batting
average of .339, with high mark OF
1854 in 1882, when he set the major
league right-handed batters' record
of So home runs, only two less than
Babe Ruth's all-time high. u
During his six and fraction sea-
sons as a Red Socker, Foxx played
in SGT games and had an al-time
Boston slugging average of 1926.
Until Ted Williams came along
in 1899, Foxx was the Red Sox's
outstanding slugger. He never re

down another position for the good
Of the team.

He performed in the outfeld and
three seasons ago, when the Clubs

said Foxx as he caught the last oi

Il hate to leave Boston" Foxx
continued. Il think it's the great

continued the explosive Mr.. Newsom.
"you will discover I've been getting

errors or misplays that have cost
runs. The team hasn't gotten many
runs for me, but I haven't COM
planned. The fellows are giving their
best and so am I.
I'D like the public to know my

don't win it isn't for lack of effort" ;"
