Many Players to Be

NEW YORK. April 3.-The Ma

a three-day meeting in Chicago

next fall. And indications are the
answer for most clubs will be foot

Three or four clubs have limited

the word is that the franchises likely

clubs. What's more interesting,
Mara thinks, will be to see whether
the clubs draft" college players for
this season or pick the big name
guys in hope that they'll still be
available after the war.
Still quoting Mara: Prom what
we have heard, there will be a good

Evans Finally Gives Up

Williams crouched down and
signaled for Johnson's fast one or
at least gave a signal he thought
called for Johnson's fast one. The
ball broke sharply and clipped Um-
pire Evans on the shin.
Williams shook his head, and
slightly bewildered gave Johnson
what he thought was the signal for
a curve. That ball travelled like a
bullet and just as straight. Again
Williams missed the ball and this
time it crashed into Evans mask.
1T was heck of a bad blow Evans
took, but he shook it off and con-
tinued umpiring. Three more times
that inning before the side was re-
tired Evans was hit because Will
liams didn't know the signals. Evans
was getting pretty sore about it.
Game the next inning and
Johnson's first pitch struck Evans
on the thigh. The sun was shining
brightly and it was a beautiful day,
but Evans shouted emphatically,
Game called-darkness and walked
off the field. Mr.. Evans had seen
enough of Mr.. Williams"

some time he had been thinking 1t
over and he knew johnson was so
fast the umpires probably guessed
about balls and strikes when he was
pitching. He. decided to gamble on
an experiment.
Walter Agrees to Fake 1t
He walked out to johnson and
said, look, Walter, it's getting dark
now and Evans can't see the ball
Let's try something Stick the ball
in your pocket, but take your wind
up and pretend to whip that fast
one into my mitt. I'll whack my
mitt to make it sound like the ball
striking and I think Evans will call
him out He had quite time
talking Walter into it, but finally
johnson agreed. Ainsmith shielded
him little while they were out
there on the mound and johnson
got the ball in his hip pocket with
out anybody noticing.
"Ainsmith went back behind the
plate, squatted down and gave the
signal. There, was slow man on
third base and johnson had no fear
OF him stealing home, so he took a
big windup and seemingly let that
ball fly toward Ainsmith, who
thumped his mitt and started walk

More And Better Parks

To look down upon Wilmington from fair
height is to gain the impression that the city
is set in forest. This is particularly true
in the early morning when the sun is first
streaking the east or at twilight when the
shadows have heightened
Truly Wilmingtons trees are to be reck-
oned with in appraising the city's beauty.
1t might be wished that some OF the finest
could be moved to more appropriate places.
now that Wilmington has outgrown its original
proportions and traffic has crowded the
streets, but that is problem that safely
be left to later period rs discussion is too
explosive now with war our hands
But, with so many magnificent trees, Will
mlngton might well direct more attention to
further contributions 10 its arboral beauty
through the creation of new parks and more
extensive development and improvement of
those already in existence.
Mayor Camerons plan to turn the Burnt
Mill creek area into a parkway is a step in
this direction which should have the hearty
approval and cooperation Of the public. Green
field park has possibilities which should not
be overlooked or minimized. In addition to
these, there are d number of sites which
could be utilized and in The improvement of
which Wilmington would be benefited
There is economic as we'll as esthetic ad-
vantage to be derived A city known for its
parks attracts visitors as a magnet does iron.
When the war is and the American
people may again indulge in the great ma
tional pastime, travel Wilmington may draw
an unprecedented number of tourists if it de-
velops its park possbilities-and tourists spend
money.
Before Hollywood set southern California up
in business and when it's citrus crop failed
it was the tourists that kept that region out
of bankruptcy. And tourists sought out south
ern California not only because CT its climate
but also because Los Angeles Riverside and
Redlands, the principal early tourist meccas,
were known far and wide for their parks.
Any plans Wilmington may make for post
war development and prosperity would be in
adequate if it failed to include major park
program in them.
