BASEBALL M0GULS
OVERLOOK OUR BOYS

Among the greeting cards
received from soldiers This
year is one from Fort DevenS,
signed by Private E. H. "Spike"
Corbin, 366th Infantry. The
last previous letter from Cor
Din was only a few months
,go when Spike was head
coach at st. Paul, Virginia.
Corbin is a local sports hero.
Powerfully built and versatile,
Spike was an All-American
tackle at w. Virginia State af-
ter a brilliant high school
Career at Rindge Technical
School in Cambridge. AS a bell
player Corbin had the markings
of a major league star. While
yet in college Spike was ap-
preached by several scouts of
t h, e colored professional
leagues. He played for The
Boston Royal Giants and many
fans who saw him shared my
belief that Spike could lave
oeen a major league prospect.
But he never got the chance.

Help Fuel Problem
By Dressing Warm

In January, watch out for
the coolest weather of the
year, warns the United States
Weather Bureau. In this jan
nary of 1943, watch out, too,
that the usual lower tempera-
ture doesn't leave the coal bin
or oil tank empty. Even keep
ing the house at the usual
temperature requires the use
of more fuel in January, and
to keep within an oil ration
will necessiCate dropping this
temperature several degrees.
Scientists say we shiver to
keep warm. But there are
pleasanter ways of heating
ourselves, especially for wom-
en-, whose normal clothing
weight averages only one
third the weight Of mems.
Grandma could give her
granddaughter a lot of good
advice on how to be comfort
able in this January's patriotic
too cool to be really comfort
able home. The first thing
she'd suggest would be TO pull
On good old fashioned Urion
suit with a close, round neck
line and sleeves which cover at
least the upper arms. Grand
ma might not know it, but
tests have shown that cold is
first through the shoulders and
arms; so starting by keeping
those warm is half the battle
won.
Another of her favorites
would be a knitted slip or pet
ticoat. She just knew they
were warm, but modern SCI
ence has discovered that Knit
ted things, especially if ribned,
tend to imprison dead still air
and form an insulating blan-
ket around the body. And
that's why ribbed cotton
stockings will feel warmer too.
One warmth improvement
eredited to granddaughter
lay is a pair Of Stacks. If the
igure takes to them grace
fully, they'll prove cozier than
skirts. But Grandma would
recognize the advantages OF
tailored blouses of outing FAN

ROWING ALONG SPORTSDOM
BY MABE KoUNTZE

and Commissioner K. M. Lam
dis preside :. Many items were
cuSSed and discussed amid the
gathering gloom spread by the
possibility that the increasing
man-power shortage created
by the demands of industry,
farming and home and foreign
military defenses might finally
curb the fortunes of baseball
under the duration.
Nevertheless, the indications
are that baseball will continue
under one form or another
throughout 1913.
Baseball, as a sport, will be
played next summer by our
troops whether they are in
Buna, Britain, Iceland Or
Egypt.
Baseball will continue to
flourish among colored Ameri-
cans not because of the Ma
jor Leagues, but in spite of the
Major Leagues.
Meanwhile, many major
league moguls who waxed fat
on jim crow baseball will re-
ceive their just punishment in
reduced incomes.

quite hit playing the Service
boys and Professional baseball
will hardly pass up this public
pleasing gesture.
Just why the Red Sox and
Braves can not schedule a few
games with colored militar!
units at Fort Deyens is a ques
ton strictly up to the author
tiles most concerned.
Just why the colored ath-
letic officers at Fort Deyens,
Camp Edwards, Fort Dix and
other star studded areas can
not apply for their due share
of major league equipment
and games is also an interest
ing query.
There may be ecortS to ar
range such games.
Chances are however, that
colored regimental ball teams
will have quite a few game CT
fers, provided all concerned
get busy.
Soldier aid organizations can
help a lot.

in the Army" Louis explains.
Besides being good condition
ing exercise, boxing teaches
the boys how to take care Of
themselves. Sometime they
may get in a spot where a gun
may not be the best weapon.
Maybe their fists will be the
best weapon. We're trying to
teach soldiers how to use their
fists and take care of them
selves, 50 they won't lose cen
fldence if they get where they
can't use a gun"
That's a long speech for
Joe, but it merely shows how
thoroughly he's sold on his

Just as important as In baseball.
There's meat shortage - or our

Macaroni, his brother Spaghetti, or
their team-mate--Noodles. The diet
problem has two strikes on 1t, the
minute one of these husky batters
steps to the plate.
Oh, l realize that beef and pork
are primarily protein foods, while
macaroni, spaghetti and egg noodles
are super-rich in carbohydrates and
are usually regarded as the energy
trio. But you must remember that
each member Of this ENERGY trio"
is also rich in proteins and that
with the aid of comparatively small
quantities of the cheaper meat cuts,
or leftover meats, delicious and
'nourishing one-dish meals may be
prepared. Thus macaroni, spaghetti
and egg noodles are ideal pinch
hitters in this game of war, short

NOW TOO LATE

If the Major Leagues should
Ibis year decide to lower the
long infamous Color Bar, it
will probably be much too late
for any immediate gains at
the Big League box Office.
Most of the young talented
colored ball players are either
joining the Armed Services,
have already enlisted in war
work, Or will have entered one
of these two essential fields
before next summer.
Even some of the players
who have been promised"
try-outS may net be available
in l943. Older veterans ike
Satchel Paige, Big Bill Jack
man, Mule Suttles and Josh
Gibson may be selected by the
war manpower commission for
other duties. So might we all.
1t would be one of sports
ironies of all time, if ths
Major Leagues which have 50
long banned colored Amsri-
cans, were forced to beg for
the services of our boys when
and where they found them.
Meanwhile it goes in the
records, that our boys were
good enough for the U, S.
Armed Forces, but not good
enough for the American CD
Big Leagues.
