Although the ban on pleasure

biggest campaigns in recent years
and already is working on plans fol

1T looks as though We'll have q

cause most of the teams that trav-

playing in leagues to independent

Connie Wyche has applied for g

has entered Mailman Photos, runner
up for the section A pennant last

They're getting an early start
this year and it's a good sign. We
may be organized and ready to begin
playing before we have in the past

Looks to Service Teams.
Gauzza doesn't feel that the loss

here, although many diamond stars
already are in the service and many
have seen action at sea and or
foreign shores. The influx of Gov

good baseball left in them, is ex-
pected to take up the slack. Gauzza
also points out that many service

There will be no dearth of equip

Large Cities Adopt N e w
Method OF Distribution;
Speeds Deliveries

The new method of speeding
up mail deliveries through addi-
ton of a branch post office num-
Der to the address on mail for
delivery in large cities is being
placed in operation rapidly. Re-
ports from many cities indicate
that it has been received enthu-
siastically by the press, postmas-
tiers, business concerns and the
public.
Within a few days after initia-
ton of the plan, under instruction
of Postmaster General Frank c.
Walker, nearly all postmasters in
the large cities affected had as
signed postal unit numbers to
their branch offices, millions of
residents had been advised of the
number to be added to their ad-
dresses, and a considerable vol
ume of mail already was carrying
the numbers assigned.
The new system speeds up the
separation of mail for ditribution
to branch offices and permits
much more rapid handling of
mail by inexperienced postal
clerks, thousands of whom have
been employed to replace person.
