called the young lieutenant - Joe
Cronin, manager Of the Boston Red
Sox, entered. THAT girl sure WAS
sore. You know, the one we brought
out Sunday afternoon to dance with
you. And then you never danced
with her, even once"
Joe vaguely recalled having been
introduced to the girl. It wasn't his
fault they didn't dance, though. Joe
spent the entire afternoon-dances
are held afternoons here: there are
blackouts every night-sitting In .
corner talking baseball with privates
and noncoms and officers.
That's what Joe's here for and the
soldiers keep him pretty busy at It..
American Red Cross headquarters In
Washington called him last fall, sug-
gested he could help keep the boys
morale high In noncombat zones just
by going around and talking base
ball. Time drags for many Of the
boys when they're on duty.
Boys Eager to Talk Baseball.
Joe said OK. and was sent to
Bermuda. then to the Hawaiian
Islands. He's visiting Army camps
and isolated outposts on q tightly
scheduled 17-day visit.
The boys don't hesitate to open
up on Joe after he tells = couple
Of stories and discover he's as
ready to discuss baseball as they
are. He's almost one Of them, in
his khaki uniform of Red Cross
military welfare worker.
'Hey. Joe, remember the time you
hit into q triple play with the
bases loaded?" some one asks, and
Joe ruefully tells the tale for 30
or 40 or so listeners.
He compares Joe Di Maggie. who's
quitting the Yanks for the Army,
with Ted Williams, the tempera-
mental Red Sox hitting star who's
In naval aviation.
Cronin rates Di Mag one Of the
all-time greats and always con-
cludes: II hope the Army keeps
Di Maggie three or four years after
the war en08.
Chaplain Coed With Pistol.
Joe talked to the soldiers In small
groups and large. He went miles
to visit isolated outposts or In.
stallations. He took time to show
one soldier squad how he plays
shortstop and went into some de-
tails explaining to the boys how,
each position should be played. He
saw some newly arrived sailors
working kinks out Of their legs and

Texas High School Boy, Is, Ready for Majors
Tom Hamilton Prepares From nfoncy for Big League
BY HAROLD v. RATLIFF,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


DALLAS. Feb. 2.-HAndsome
Tom Hamilton is considered ready
for major league baseball, al
though not yet out of high school
but no wonder.
The big first baseman-he's
6 feet 3 and weighs 218 pounds
has been playing ever since he
was able to lift glove and today,
at 18, is a veteran of 13 years in
the game.
It's a Bob Feller-and-his-da
proposition. Fred H. Hamilton,
Dallas hotel operator, started
teaching Tom the fine points Of
baseball when he was 5-or
younger. II might have been only
3 or T.. said Tom. "All I know Is
that ever since I can remember
Dad has been preparing me for
the big leagues"
The way major league scouts
have been calling at the Hamil-
ton place the last year or SO
would indicate preparation is over.
Tom can sign contracts right now
If he wants to.
But he's going to college before
taking his fling at bigtime base
ball-that is, after he does little
fielding and batting for Uncle
Sam. He expects q call to the
service upon graduation In June.
Right now he's busy trying to
help Crozier Tech High to the
State basket ball championship.
Tom, an all-State center. has
scored almost 800 points in Is
games this year
But while Tom likes basket ball
and says it's good conditioner,
