Baseball to Stay

There will he big league

Quinn replied 10 a question.
1.-THE government wants base
ball. Ii knows IL can take play
ers anytime IL wants To for
service, just as il has been doing.
"Of course, drafting Of fathers
will hurt. Talent is going 10 he
good and scarce. But there will
he enough players 10 so around.
We may have 10 cut the size of
the squads"
Quinn protested the naming
Of an all star team.
81 don't like 20 name all star
team. You know 1 could name
one and then you could name
another which would be just as
good as mine.
Take catchers for instance.
Buck Ewing was the greatest
catcher OF his time. Then came
Bresnahan--and make no mis-
take. Roger belongs with the
greatest of all catchers, though
some experts forget that.
"Gabby Hartnett was n good
catcher. Right now ] think the
smartest catcher I'm baseball Is
AL Lopez OF the Pirates"
Urged, Quinn admitted he
thought Ty Cobb was the
greatest all-around ballplayer in
history.

Save Duck
Feathers
For War
BY DON GILES

When Michigan duck hunters
throw away the feathers of their
kill they not only cheat Uncle
Sam out of product that is vi
tally needed, but deprive members
of armed forces stationed in far
northern outposts OF a material
that goes a long way in keeping
them warm during subzero
weather.
Wild duck and goose down, as
we'll as body feathers, are greatly
needed today to line garments for
aviators, troops in Alaska and
war workers. Imports of COM
mercial elder down for this pur-
pose have been shut off.
Now that the duck season is
coming into its own in Michigan,
hunters are urged more than ever
to donate their feathers TO any
Ducks Unlimited collection sta
ton or ship collect 10 Ducks Un-

Mark your package with your

donations will be sold and all pro-
ceeds deposited in a fund for the
restoration and preservation Of

Charles G. Chapman. acting

for Ducks Unlimited, comes UP
with an excellent idea of estab.
fishing a depot in Detroit where

Strafed
BY jaPs;
Home s

Sgt. Nicholas Marunovich IS
home for the Solomons, nursing a
wounded foot and catching up and
his baseball conversation with
friends from the Detroit sandlots.
Sgt. Martinovich, who lives at
2159 Drexel, is also getting ac-
quainted with his 9-months-old
son ne is seeing for the first time.
1t was a Jap plane strafing the
ground that caught Nick and sent
him 10 the hospital for the first
time after II months in war zones
with the army air forces. The
wound is healing nicely and Nick
hopes to be able TO play baseball
again when the war is won.
The sandlot pitcher was ace OF
the Wolverine club in Detroit with
Pete RaduloVich as his battery
mate. They won four sandlot
titles in row from 1888 10 1886.
That got him chance with the
New York Giants and he was
their property when he went TO
war.
The Giants had farmed him out
first 10 Fort Smith in the Western
League and then Clinton in the
Three-I loop. He was scheduled
10 20 TO the Florida camp ow the
Giants when he enlisted in the air
forces. Five weeks after he en-
listed ne was shipped 10 Hawaii
where he found a fast baseball
leagt4e.
From there he made tour OF
the bases in the southwest Pacific
where there is little baseball, just
an occasional softball game. Nick
is home on a furlough and then
reports TO his hospital at Cam
bridge. O. He hopes 10 be back
in regular duty before long.

Bring Tie After
Wings Lead, At
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

Those Detroit Red Wings know
today they're not going 10 cake
walk 10 the National Hockey
League championship.
They learned it when a we'll
conditioned, hsrd-skating band OF
Toronto Maple Leafs turned what
looked like an easy Detroit VIC
tory into : 10 5 tie before 9,738
paid customers at Olympia last
night.
I'VE beat ourselves. We
handed IL To them on q platter"
said diSgruntled Jack Adams,
the Wings boss, after il was
over. I'VE haven't blown
three-goal lead like that in
years"
The Red Wings did show
smoother execution on the attack
in this wide open game. They
scored real picture goals and led

by stickhandling Joe CaTveth, one
by Adam Brown and one that
Capt. Mud Bruneteau threw in 10

rookie George Boothman.

LET'S 1T GO
But Hill let the puck pass him
at the last second. Franks made
a frantic jump for the corner

skidded across the line.
That shot nullified 40-fooier
