SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-The
plea has been made that baseball
should be retained because of its
morale uplift value to Americans.
Umpire Hap O'Connor contends its
abandonment now would bolster the
morale of the japanese.
He ought to know. He has um-
pired games in Japan.
O'Connor sums up his opinion like
this:
The Japs so envy us for our base
ball prowess and our intense love
for the game that to call it off during
wartime would be like a tonic. to

1t to mean We were becoming pam

Frank Lefty" ODoul, twice top
hitter of the National League and

the unique argument.

O'Doul has had closeup view of
the japanese baseball complex.
When transforming tours of Ameri-
can au-star teams in the Orient was
a popular off-season diversion, he
was one Of the outstanding figures.
He was regarded superman by the
Japanese. They would gaze at him
in awe. ODoul in turn would stand
them on their hands with an ailing
arm dinky curve that any minor
Lacquer could lean on.

with bat eight feet long, a tribute
to his slugging prowess.
O'Connor, who never tipped his
cap as a big league arbiter, but has
served the semipros and colleges as
an umpire for Is years, also made q
trip to Japan. He was not the hero
ODoul was. but he umpired the
games and preserved these anec-
dotes:
Our teams beat the Japs so one

been 40 to 0. They were supposed
to be pretty good players, but the

signs for plays at the bat and on
the bases than one of our national
highways.
Every kid going to school in the
mornings wore baseball cap and

them wore baseball suits to school.
Il read where the Japanese have
given up the game because it is too
much U. S. A. stuff. They probably
figured they never would beat us at
it anyhow, which seems like a good
frame of mind to keep them in"

Mahnken, giving one of the best

pivot shot, and enlarged its 81 lead

his 20 points in the first half, scoring
only once more as his mates found
difficulty feeding the pill to him.
Mahnken was not the whole show
by far, however. Danny Kraus and
Dan Gabbianelli captured many re-
bounds and Kraus' dribbling and
floor play called for several ovations
from the near-capacity crowd of

margin, with Sub Bob Maher hitting
