The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-06
(Reg. U. s. Pat. Off.) BY JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 6-UP)-Larry MacPhail, the hotcha man of mod ern baseball, said, T know nothing of the next world series where 1t will be played or how. Tn other words, can't say anything about it."
 That was the completely negative result of a telephone interview with President MacPhail of the Dodgers at his farm in Belair, Md. Appar- ently one of the few times that the quite positive hed-haired MacPhail has gone negative.
 We were asking MacPhail about the plan upon which virtually everyone else connected with the majors has agreed as the best flor the world series, in connection with the war effort-a plan whereby the best four of seven games would be decided entirely at Yankee stadium That is if the Yankees won the American flag and the Dodgers took the National circuit pennant, as both clubs now seem virtually certain of doing. Also if the ad- visory council of the majors de- cided that it would be a best-four- of-seven series, instead of the pro- posed extended road trip on which up to IS games might be played.
 Means More Money
 We explained to MacPhail that almost everyone connected with baseball agreed that on the seven- game basis, all world series en- counters should be contested at Yankee stadium, because it had a larger capacity than Brooklyn's Eb- bets field, and that the war reliefs would gain an additional $200000 to $400,000 by the stadium concen- tration.
 President Ford Prick of the Ma tional league has said that such a move would be strictly up to the two clubs involved. And President Ed Barrow of the Yankees said, "If the National league winner wants to play it home series games at Yankee stadium, we are perfectly willing"
 MacPhail said, Why ask me about this now? There is no as- surance yet that Brooklyn will win the National league pennant and be in the series. Besides the advisory council has not decided how it wants the series played"
 If the Dodgers do make the series, and If I were confronted with the proposition that all games were to be played at Yankee sta dium, I, personally, could not de- eide. I would have to submit the proposition to my board of direc- tors"
 In other words, MacPhail wants to be coaXed.
 There are two big reasons why MacPhail wants to be coaxed. CD He was an outstanding supporter of the plan to road-show 15-game series through important minor league cities, and CD he always has maintained that portion of any world series should ge played at Ebbets field for the Brooklyn fans who support the club during the season.
 Patriotic
 But we are quite positive that MacPhail can and will be prevailed upon to permit all games of a seven-conteSt series to be played at Yankee stadium, because red haired Larry is now, and always has been, one of the most patriotic men in our lana. You will recall that Larry, in the last war, was a member of the little party that tried to kidnap the kaiser, but who came back with an ash tray, instead.
 Moreover, MacPhail-despite his feuds with certain New York news paper men-has been a red-necked powerhouse in the National leagues drive for relief funds-a drive that
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-06

has made the conservative Amer ican circuit a bit abashed by its lack of activity and it's lack of re- lief funds. With MacPhail shoul- dering the wheel, ably assisted by energetic League President Prick and Horace tsoneham, proxy of the Giants, the National division has contributed more than $27O,OOO0 for war relief.
 Hence, despite MacPhaips nega- tive statement, you may be quite positive that if and when the Dodgers and Yankees meet in a seven-game series, all games of that classic will be staged at huge Yan- kee stadium. In this particular in- stance, MacPhail wants to be-and can be, coaxed.

They have had compulsory regis

The whole situation has been tight

Yet the whole people is far more
satisfied. This reflects the fact
that everybody has been put tn her

Today, IS per cent Of the total
population is engaged In war work

Shortage Of woman power Is %
acute In England today that the
British government willingly pays
the fare even for English nursemaids
living in the United States, that
they may come home and care for
the children OF English mothers
laboring in munitions factories and
the military services.
Because of the great need for
workers. the British government is
exerting every effort to bring back

to England all its nationals through
out the world, Lady Margaret Bar
ry, director of the British Volunteer
Movement in this country, told the
Women's National Press Club yes

Ever since the war started, Brit
ish men and women have wanted
to 60 home and join the war enort." !"
Lady Margaret said. THE British
government IS now calling on all
British men and women here to 60
home If possible, and it helps them
by buying their passage and guar
anteeing their return fare here after
the war Is over"
AS an example Of the need for
help, Lady Margaret cited recent
cali for TOO women for a munitions
factory In South England. Only q
handful responded As available, and
it was necessary to fine-comb the
already understaffed local shops and
stores to obtain the quota.
Every fve women Joining the
labor ranks or defense services re-
lease four men to fight." she said.
For that reason the government
pays not only the fare over, but
underwrites subsistence and main
tenance from the moment these
volunteers leave their jobs in the
United States.
"And they are all giving up very
well paid jobs here" she said. "You
must realize that pay here in this
country is much better than wages
for similar work in England.
"On arrival In England they are
placed Immediately in jobs clamor-
ing for them. So far the response
has been tremendous. We make all
arrangements for them. Their
papers are cleared through the
British consuls in the United States
Transportation is the most din
cult problem. We almost have to &c
on our bended knees to obtain ship
ping space for them. Once they get
to England, these people are never
kept waiting more than few days
before they are placed In employ
ment."
More than 10 are In passage at
this moment, she said, and at least
80 women will leave next week. One
women volunteer escaped from Hong
Kong one week before 1t was cap
turd by the Japanese. Later she
slipped away from Singapore a.
the Japanese entered the city. To-
day she is on the last lap Of her

Issue Is Delayed Until

House Skivted Issue but Ssnote
Posed l2-Month Troinins Period

Representative Rankin ID
Miss, a leader in the fight for
retention of the amendment, has
served notice he will demand q
roll-call the same day on his mo-
ton that House conferees be in
structed to accept the Senate
changes.
Roane Waring, National Com
mander of the American Legion,
declared his organization was
"unalterably opposed" to the
pre-combat training proposal.
BY setting up outfits made up
entirely of young men, Waring
said the Army would be denied
"the beneficial and leavening eff
feet that can be had in having
older men of training, expert
ence and stability placed side by
side with younger men furnish
ing the fresher qualities of
youth"
1T might have a disastrous eff
feet" he added" and in battle
would probably result in these
divisions suffering far heavier
casualties on account of the nat
ural daring of youth"
Chairman Reynolds (D-NC) of
the Senate Military Committee
voiced personal opposition to the
training proposal, declaring it
would "hamstring" the Army.
"This amendment means that
these men have got to be trained
q full IL months in the United
States and cannot be sent abroad
for preparation behind the lines
where they will fight" Reynolds
told reporters. II don't think you
can train men in camps in this
country to fight the kind of war
we are engaged in"

mendation that the ban is exist
