NEW YORK. Dec. 3. tUP)-Jack
zeller, general manager of the
Detroit Tigers, believes that major
league baseball has reached the
cross roads, where it must choose
% elimination of the farm system,
or C2) the all-out farm rivalry
which only hackers of great wealth
can afford.
Zeller, member of the American
leagues postwar planning commit
tee. favorS elimination Of the
plantations. He believes that the
independent operation of minor
league clubs is the only practical
post war course to pursue. In this
belief. he has the backing of WAL
ter o. Briggs, the Tigers owner.
ELIMINATE FARMS
we favor the elimination OF the
farms for the welfare of baseball
not for our own financial reasons, "
baldish Zeller explained with a
frank smile. Briggs is a Detroit
multi millionaire.
I'VE have working agreement
with Buffalo" fair-skinned Jack
continued. That is our only farm
connection now. But if the other
major league clubs refuse to do the
sensible thing refuse to break
away from chain store baseball, we
will be forced to plunge into farm
ing on a lavish scale. Well give
them more competition than they
bargained for I hope that doesn't
happen; baseball as a whole will
not benefit by it.
INDEPENDENCE LOST
Zeller declared that farming, dur
ing the past decade, already has
done nearly irreparable harm to
minor league ball. 1t has destroyed
not only the independence of the
small club owners; but also the
baseball independence of smaller
cities.
In the old days" he said, "citi-
zens of community, desiring to
have their own minor league club
would arrange for the building of
their own bali park and the or
ganization of their own team, as

GO ON, LAUGH

Man, you should have seen those
baseball games. 1 guess the major
league players would have had a
big laugh out of our antics but it
kept us from sitting around brood
ing
Case, who said he couldn't reveal
details of his escape from the Ger
mans, was shot down in a twin
engined plane and parachuted onto
Cagliari, in Sardinia. Later he was
transferred to the Italian mainland.
There were lot of British priS-
onerS with us. They were exceed
ingly resourceful. We made the
baseballs and they thought up the
idea for making bats. They took
some old bed posters, whitfield them
down and they worked swell.
Funny thing was most of those
Englishmen didn't know anything
about baseball So we taught them
how to play. After we'd chosen up
teamS-EngliSh VS.. American-we
played our own world series.
LEARNERS LUCK
You guessed it. Aftcr teaching

THE
DISTRICT
STRIKE

California's h e a d m an,
Governor Earl Warren, says
the District strike is "a
STRIKE AGAINST T II E
GOVERN MENT."
The chief of our state gov
ernment has another thought
about the strike, too. In a
formal statement issued at
Sacramento, Governor War
rem declared:
"Any WORK STOPPAGE in
the electric or irrigation services
of the district can result only in
serious consequences to the food
supply of California and to the
training of troops in the armed
forces which are dependent upon
these facilities"
That's how the strikers
look in the eyes Of the COVER
nor.
Wish our Imperial Valley
boys in Italy and Africa and
the near East and Far East
and in the south Pacific could
tell what they think Of men
who try to choke off the
nations food supply and to
delay troop training.
That would be worth lis
tening to.
Fathers and mothers living
right here at home can tell how
they feel about this thing.
Their boys overseas are dying
right now for the principle Inn
perial valley farmers battle now
TO save until their sons can get
back home. The boys will re-
member then what the unions
have tried to do while they we're
gone.
A stab in the back.
Wouldn't you hate TO be a
man whose. record in this war
shows he is not only a slack
er, but darned near a traitor
to his country?
Wonder what such a man
will tell his children when
they ask him Daddy, what
did you do in the war;"
The papers have so many
things to print they don't
have space in their news col
umns to tell you some things
about the strike you ought
to know.
That's why this is a paid
advertisement to keep you
posted. 4
One newspaper editor
writes:
"rhe strike of AFL cleo
trical workers not only
violates the AFL no strike
pledge, but is plainly illegal
on other grounds.
1T is a strike against a
governmental agency; it is a
Stflke against a war plant,
and it is a strike for an illeg-
al end.
=. "can only be regarded
as outlaw from a union
point of view. The AFL or at
least the IBEW has the pow
er to cancel the charter of
the offending local and expel
the strikers from union mernv
bership. If this is not done
the public will know where
to place the blame"
And maybe the draft boards
will be interested, ADV.

Motorists To
Endorse Their
Gas Coupons

Graphic instructions showing mo-
florists how to endorse their gasoline
ration coupons were released today
by the Office of Price Administra-
ton.
Motorists are advised that they
must endorse every coupon in their
ration books Immediately. They
are not to wait until they buy gas
before endorsing their coupons.
Holders of A, B, c, D or T books
are to write their license number
and State of registration on face
of all coupons.
Holders of E or r books are to
write their names and address on
the face of all coupons.
Holders of interchangeable book
coupons for official or fleet vehicles
are to write official or fleet desig-
A4dllOl1 c1llO City dllQ SIdlG VI HALL
office. If the commercial vehicle
does not operate under a fleet des-
ignation, the number of the Certi-
ficate of War Necessity is to be
written on the coupons.
Endorsement of coupons has a
twofold purpose:
First, it protects consumers
against use of their coupons by 9TH
ers in case Of theft or loss.
Second, it enables the Govern
ment to locate criminals who have
been trafficking in Illegal gasoline.
BY checking back the ownership of
gas coupons that had been handled
by suspected gas stations, the Gov
eminent can determine whether a
station is operating legally or lille
gally.
