Sports important Now

We were a bit surprised 10 find
George writing in such a serious
vein. He had never taken very
active part in sports as civilian,
although he was an avid football,
basketball and baseball fan. AS
we scanned his letter. we gained
the impression sports had become
vastly more important TO him
since he entered the army almost
q year ago.
Especially In the armed
forces Is the value of athletics
and major sports appreciated"
continued the corporal. "In
many places where service men
are too busy TO engage In sports
themselves, they scan the
papers and their mail. and they
glue their ear to the radio at
every opportunity, all in the
hope OF gathering some precious
dope on how the Tigers, Yank-
ees, Chicago Bears and Wash
ington Redskins are doing.
"Or whether Whirlaway will
take Alsab at Narragansett, or

They Want Baseball

81 believe every service man
would feel lost II baseball sagged
this year"
Such statement has familiar
ring. It's the sort of thing the
baseball magnates and the sport
scribes have been saying for sew
era1 months. Some critics have
suggested such an attitude might
spring from selfish motives.
Why shouldn't the diamond mo-
guls insist their business is valu-
able TO the war effort. It's their
bread and butter. isn't II? And
why shouldn't baseball writer's
claim they are making contri-
button TO the war effort with their
constant patter?
To those who hold such a Gym
teal view of the situation. that
statement may supply at least a
part of the answer. For the writer
isn't a baseball owner or sports
writer. He is typical American
fighting man. just one OF the mil
lions of boys who are ready 10
follow Old Glory anywhere.

Serviceman Writes

This assertion-one OF the most
emphatic we have ever heard in
support OF wartime baseball-was
contained in a welcome letter
which we received today from Cpl
George Clarity. We think he
speaks for the great majority OF
his buddies.
Balancing through the sports
pages, my buddies and i have
been struck by the discussions
of the reasons for the abolish
ment OF big league baseball for
the Duration" writes George.
Counties columns have been
devoted to the effect such a
move would have on civilian
morale and upon the morale Of
the armed forces.
II know that many people
feel that sports do not contrib
ute 10 the war program nor have
any effect In winning the war.
That's where and lot Of
other fellows feel they have the
wrong slant.
TRUE enough. sports do not
play a direct part In the manu-
facture OF planes, munitions,
tanks and guns.
"But IL you could see the ire
mendous part they play in keep
ing up the spirits Of the men In
camp, you'd know they were
really as essential as weapons"

Keep II Alive!

"Of course, many professional
and collegiate athletes will be
needed In war industries or I'm
the services. But there still will
be men with legitimate defer
ments who can at least keep
baseball and other sports alive.
They will be doing their share
I'm the war effort Just as the
factory worker and the soldier,
the sailor and the marine.
eff We must sacrifice some
sports, let us at least try TO
keep major league baseball 60
ing. IL may not measure up to
the standards set I'm other sea-
sons, but IL still will remain
the Great American Game.
And every service man will be
waiting anxiously to find out
how his favorite club Is doing
In the standings"
We have little 10 add. We thinl
Corporal Clarity has covered the
thoroughly, as he has Z
habit OF doing.
When you think OF our fighting
men in the far corners of the
wortd,, hungrify devourfng what
ever scraps of sports news they
can get. you realize anew the
worth of sports in a nation at war
The necessity for cutting out the
frills--and perhaps for using les:
polished players-aEe trivial haHdi
caps indeed.
It's just like the corporal says
The big idea is TO keep sport:
alive.
