Soldiers Glad
For All Letters

The Junior Chamber of Commerce,
whose members sponsor the project
of writing to those in the service. re-
ceived letters from four men in the
service this week expressing appreci-
alton for the letters and packages.
Cpl Roy B. Rudy, Jr., writing from

81 received, your most welcomed
letters and packages which to me
mean a great deal. The letters proved
interesting reading and | enjoyed
them greatly. | want to thank you
all for what you are doing for me and
all the other boys in the army. Look
ing back to people like you makes me
work harder for something we have
in common.
$50 again, I thank you and the peo-
pie CT Oakland for everything you are
doing to make life a pleasant one
during this eventful period.
81 have run into only one Of the
boys from Oakland, Roy burst. He
told me that Bill Spikcr was in his
outfit, so if you know their address,
please send them to me. Sincerely,
Roy b. Rudy, Jr."
Private James Bell, at Lowry
Field. Colo, writes:
I'VE fellows from Oakland have a
home town that's really something to
be proud of. It's great to know that
your old friends are remembering you
and are backing you to the fullest
extent.
"The Jaycec package was more
fun to open than thousand Christ
mas presents, and did the gang like
it! Some fellows from small towns
even wrote home to see if a project
couldn't be started for them.
II want to express my sincere
thanks to the Jaycces for the good
job they are doing and to my friends
for their many gifts and letters"
Sgt John Sharps, located at Spence
Field, Moultric Ga, writes:
AT last l have found the time to
write and thank you for sending the
letters and gifts from so many Of my
friends. | enjoyed reading them a lot
You never realize just how many
friends you do have though until
time like this
81 think YOU and the Jaycccs are
doing a swell job and from the de
light | got from reading all the fine
letters | could imagine how the fcl-
lows in combat must feel when they
receive a package like that
Il would love to answer each one
of them personally but we have such
a little bit of time to ourselves that
that would be impossible
eve are having pretty nice weather
down here. Some mornings it gets
pretty cold but as a whole we have
very nice weather The worst part
of it is the sudden changes of
temperature. One day it may be hot
and the next one little cool and you
can really notice the change. SO far
we have not had any snow and |
don't expect to see any till get far

Wolverines, Bucks
to Renew Rivalry

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Jan. 81
-(P)-One of the hottest rival
ries in western conference ath-
letlcs-the annual swimming
battle between Ohio State and
Michigan-flares up again here
Saturday.
A rush for the seats has al
ready begun. The Wolverines
tank has Sidewalk accomoda-

and campus fans love their

are usually turned away.
The Buckeyes will make their

Columbus, 0. Michigan is striv-
ing TO preserve some of the re-
putation won through many
years as undisputed monarch Of
college tank affairs.
Three Big Ten and three Ma

in action.
Coach Mike Peppe has built
his Buckeye team around three
fine divers, the Big Ten 440-
yard free-style champ. the Big
Ten backstroke and breast
stroke title-holders. and Neo
Mkt Nakama, of whom per-
haps you have heard before.
Nakama holds the National
AAU titles at 440 and 1900 me-

Hayes Will Face Stern Test

DETROIT. Jan. 21-(P)-For
youngster who has been light
ing professionally for only 10
months. Charley Hayes is tack
ling tough customer tomorrow
night at Olympia in solemn
faced Jake La Motta Of New
York. And under highly unusual
circumstances, too.
Hayes, 20-year- middle
weight from suburban Ferndale,
is perhaps Detroit's best known
graduate of the amateur ring
since Joe Louis. In three years
of campaigning in lightweight,
weller and middleweight divis-
ions, Hayes seized practically ev-
cry amateur title within reach,
no excluding the highly priced
National A. A. U. crown. He won
SO bouts and lost three.
Last March Hayes turned pro
under Leo Jones, an ex-fighter
who first took charge when
Charley was pink faced kid of
is. Hayes got $50 for betting
out Johnny Kardis of Chicago
IL two rounds of preliminary
bout at Arena Gardens, and he
h a remained indicated
through ten succeeding bouts.
That brings him against La
Motta, threeyear veteran who
has won 80 of 4. bouts, including
last weeks surprise triumph ov-
er California Jackie Wilson at
Madison Square Garden and a
pair of unduplicated decisions
over hard punching Jimmy Ed
gar of Detroit.
Tomorrow Hayes stands to
draw $4,000 fo his services.
Curiously, many of the better
fight sources believe the Detroit
er is overmatched against La
Motta. This is stronge line of
reasoning inasmuch as Jones
previously had been criticized
for presumably bringing along
his boy too slowly. When La
Motta established himself as
real tough hombre, Jones trip

20-(P)-The war has led Frank
(Shanty) Hogan. former Giants
catcher, to do things that even
the invincible John McGraw
couldn't make him do.
McGraw would have consid-
cred that he had reached the
millennium il he could have
awakened Hogan in time to re-
port for 10 am. practise. Now,
Hogan, a ship rigger, gets up at
$50 a.m.-and likes it.
THE 5wellest thing about
working in a shipyard is that
you never get fined" said Ho-
gan, reminiscing about the days
when he was known as one of
McGraw's bad boys"
During the five years I
caught for the Giants, McGraw
fined me total Of $4,000. No
wonder some ball clubs can af-
ford to pay big salaries. They
take 1t back from you in fines"
Hogan said he would like to
obtain minor league club after
the war because I've had
enough experience to serve as
president, bench m ager,
trainer, ticket-taker, concession
aire and everything else"
He pointed out that he's still
in his prime-he's only 36 years
old. But he still totes that 248
pounds he tried to work off

OPEN APRIL FL
Baseballs advisory council
headed by Commissioner K. M
Lands, has asked for the ma.
tional ruling on the matter OF
salaries, and players won't re-
ceive their contracts until it is
made. Thus, no player can start
his annual spring "holdout" for
more money until he finds out
how much he's being offered in
the first place.
The 1943 season, the league
presidents agreed, will open on
Wednesday, April 81, and close
Sunday, Oct. 3. The annual all
star game will be played Tues
day, July ID, at Shibe Park in
Philadelphia, with the Athletics
of the American league as spon-
sors.
Since the Washington Sena-
tors open on the road, they will
be hosts to the Philadelphia Ath-
letics in preliminary game, APP
ril 20, under a me-honored ar
rangement of having a special
opening game at the nation
capital every other year.
Here is the schedule for the
April FL opening:
American League - Washing
at New York, Boston at Phila-
delphia, Chicago at st. Louis,
Detroit at Cleveland. National
League-New York at Brook
lyn, Philadelphia at Boston, St.
Louis at Cincinnati, Pittsburgh
at Chicago.
TRAVEL SLASHED
Home openers for the teams
that start on the road will be
Tuesday, April 81, in the Ma
tional league and either April
rs or 81 in the American league.
The schedule for these games:
American League-New York
at Boston, Philadelphia at Wash
ington, Cleveland at Chicago,
st. Louis at Detroit. National
League-Boston at New York,
Brooklyn at Philadelphia, Gin
cinnati at Pittsburgh, Chicago
at st. Louis.
With each team making no
more than three trips into any
other city, the officials estima-
ted that 100000 man-miles
would be saved in transportation
during the regular season. This.
together with the mileage saved
by training close to home, re-
presents a total saving of ap-
proximately 100000 m a n :
