the K. c. Monarchs, is being touted
as one of the best road secretaries
in baseball Harry Willis, the
fasting former heavyweight chal-
lenger, is reported in line to be

NNIy games at Yankee Stadium
The Fourth Regiment of the

Training Center, Camp Sibert, is
sponsoring baseball team. They
want information about teams that
would arrange games with them
Pass the message on to C.. w. As
kew, secretary Of the shop league.
Cpl. Eric Headley, baseball business
manager, writes that sponsoring
service baseball team is IAN effort
to help build morale and foster the
spirit of competition so essential
to winning the war" Maybe the
Black Barons would be interested
in playing the soldiers. 1t would
be a chance for them to make a
definite contribution to morale
building and therefore further
clinch the consideration of base
ball as an essential war sport.
Whatever became of the knot-hole
boys, those future full-pay baseball
fans? The knot-hole club is the
training camp of tomorroW's root
erS. Turn the boys in today and
they will turn the turnstiles tomor-
row. You help to keep them out OF
devilment by developing them into

this project, it seems 10 me. An
idea of the way war is affecting

next year by school closing time E.
Parker's Coach B. A. Yak Col
Inns gave presents to his football
players in the graduating class :.

the county schools too often
One principal. (may some others)
confided in their friends that they
were ignoring my inquiry, asking
their attitude on givin, the GBIAC
official status This spot was
surprised at the twisted, distorted
and prejudiced way some of those
who should know better have pre-
sented the GBIAC to higher-ups,
who seem to be inclined to giving
official recognition to that organi-
cation if school principals will Just
give their consent By the way.

this Thursday night Three
other meeting attempts have fail
ed Bessemer had run-in with
Umpire Mosely in their game with
