Rain HaIts
Commands
At Shelby

Continuous weekend rains pre-
vented Keesler Fields baseball
Commandos from meeting two RI
vals at Camp Shelby last week
end. The Commands met Shelby's
152nd Infantry nine on Saturday,
but the game was called after only
one inning OF play.
Keesler had defeated the l52nd
twice on the previous weekend
and indicated that they would re-
peat the performance again last
weekend. A hit batter. an infield
out and .wo singles by Keesler's
leading stickers, Sgt John Carey
OF the 4i4th Tech. Sc. So. and Pfc.
Bob Spackman Of the Booth, sent
the Air Force team out to an early
lead.
THREE NEW MEN
The Commands have been
strengthened materially in the box
and behind the plate. Pvt Art
Jones, veteran right handler from
the 590th, started the game on the
mound for the Commandos with
Pvt. John Rife OF the 4l3th back
OF the plate. Private Jones famed
two batters in the only inning he
worked. The new right handler
has II years Of pro ball behind
him. He worked for the Brooklyn
Dodgers for three seasons and has
pitched for many leading minor
league clubs. He has registered 20
or more victories in several minor
league campaigns and once hurl-
ed a no hitter for the Albany Sen
ators, then of the International
League, against the Baltimore
Orioles. The feat was all the more
remarkable because the game was
played in Baltimore which has one
Of the smallest parks in baseball.
The other new hurler IS Pvt.
John Berry Of the 303rd, a veteran
Of Is years in pro ball though he
is only 80 years old. two new
right handlers were teammates sew
eral years ago with Hartford,
Conn, in the Eastern League.
Private Rife has less than so
professional games TO his credit,
but gives promise of developing
into very capable receiver, ac-
cording to team manager, Sgt. Les
Wilson. The recruit caught i9
games for Logan in the Mountain
State League at the end of last
year. In those contests he garnered
only 16 hits, but four were round
trippers and four more were dou-
bles.

Signal Group Formed BY Legion
Teeth in Bill

Washington. May 6-AP-The
government today put set OF
teeth in President Roosevelt's
advice that people ought to pay
their bills and keep out Of debt.
With only a few hours notice.
the Federal Reserve Board put
into effect last midnight rules
governing the cree purchase
OF nearly every household item
except food, drugs and cosme-
tics.
It was the first time that
ordinary charge accounts were
touched by board regulations. II
an item on the restricted list is
charged, it must be paid for by
the tenth day of the second
month after the purchase. or the
customers credit must be shut
off on all listed articles. The
penalty may be avoided. how
ever. IL the merchant and custo-
mer are willing to sign an agree
ment to clean up the debt in fix
ed installments during the fol-
lowing six months.
AS TO installment credit, the
new requirements are for larger
downpayments and shorter time
TO pay the balance. On most
items, the rule is one-third down
and a year TO pay. except that
the monthly payment must be at
least s. even if that shortens
the payment time.
