With meat rationing on the pro-

Goes Out on Limb
Nv Red Bjalecki

After spending half the winter
in my lair looking over the long
lists of baseball players who had
been taken into the Army, and a
few short weeks of Spring looking
over the list of the extremely
young as we'll as doggone old base
ball players left behind, l thought
to myself: Why shouldn't old Red
Bialecki be a baseball prognosti-
Gator predictor to youse guys.
Well, / says to myself "Why
not" And when didn't get any
answer, sat down with one Of
those boards that moves around,
threw salt over my left shoulder,
rubbed the left hind leg of rabbit
and came up with the following
predictions for the major league
races.
Don't Take 1t Serious
Before unlimbering myself of
these weighty opinions, l want to
say that / can appreciate the fact
that | am letting myself out on
limb; but never mind that, here's
the dope.
In the American League, the
Yankees are the team to beatf
Even with DiMaggio and Rizzuto
out, the Yanks are still the team
to beat. They even were a team to
beat with DiMag and Rizzuto in.
Detroit looks like the number
team on my list. If the pitching
comes up to expectations and the
newly streamlined York doesn't 90
back to full rations, the team ought
to finish up around the top.
With Williams and Pesky gone,
the Red SoX still should finish in
third spot, while the Cleveland In
dians look good on paper and may
come in about fourth. Still you
never can tell, they might do
worse.
Manager Luke Sewell hopes his

than right and proper, particularly
since the 18th Congress is in ses-
sion. Gimme the Mats for 9Th po-
sition, or maybe seventh or eighth.
1t ought to be a battle this year
for the bottom rung between the
White Sox and Athletics. Maybe
Connie Mack will come up with an
other Grove or Earnshaw; but
what's the use, if he does the, Navy
will cop them for chief petty Off
GERS and tour the country with
them anyhow.
National League Choices
I'll take the st. Louis Cardinals
for mine. What'll you have? May
be there isn't any sense in picking
the Cards; but what the L, you
gotta pick somebody for first
place.
This is the way the rest of them
should finish according to my
choice: Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds,
N. Y. Giants, Chicago Cubs, Bos-
ton Braves, and last, of course,
the Phillies.
After the season gets under way,
please tear this up and forget it,
because the difference between
these predictions and those of lot
of other sportscasters is that they
get paid big dough for the job,
along with the Bronx cheer, and
all can look forward to is-the
Bronx cheer.

every team in their own
league and then went on to
win the city championship
after defeating the Doehler Die
five, which won the American
League championship. Only one
game was lost by the jeepmen
throughout the entire year, this
being one Of the playoff games
which was taken by the Sun Oils
when Pat Hintz, former University
Of Toledo star, was i'll with pneu-
monia.
Show Excellent Record
Records show that the WHY'S
team piled up one Of the finest
seasons in the history Of amateur
basketball IN Toledo. Never before
in the history Of the federation has
a team remained undefeated in a
seasons play.
Three trophies were won in the
Federation. The YMCA will pre-
sent the WHY'S team with a per-
manent trophy at a banquet to be
held this week.
Those who played during the
season were Pat Hintz, manager,
Cortez Gray, former University Of
Toledo star; Lou Loures, Zano
West, OrvilIe Swantek, Bob
Schultz, Jack Sanderson, now with
the Army; Ray Meyers, and George
kohut. Sam Solomon left about
the middle Of the season for the
Army.
Lou Loures and George Kohut
are about 70 leave for the Army.
and if the war has not ended by
next year, it appears that the
Why's team viii not be entered in
another league for the duration.
