e:40 ID. IN. Sunday and delivered
promptly and correctly Mon
day morning 10 Jack Pickell, of
the Automobile Club, advertis-
ing manager OF Motor News.
The letter was from Ralph
(also known as jack Campbell.
PICKELL thinks the post
office was pretty nimble, but
also thinks the mail boy al the
Auto Club must have been on
his toes, too-eSpecially since,
with the shortage of boys. the
Auto Club has had as many as
two new mail boys in one day.
THE WOMEN'S ADVERTIS-
ING CLUB thinks IL would he
nice for Kitty 20 write some
thing for the column about the
War Chest. 1 have taken this
matter up with Kitty and she
begged off on grounds that,
while she knows what she
thinks, she doesn't think she
can write il the way she
wants to.
So 1 will merely quote what
she said
"My gosh" she said, 81 don't
know what there Is TO say, ex-
cept what everybody. knows al
ready. Except, this year. they
want wives TO contribute their
own money and not say, oh,
my husband always takes care
Of that
And I think it's n good idea
for wives TO contribute. I'm go
ing TO, and besides, think that
stuff about my husband always
takes care OF H. usually was
Just a stall anyway"
OF all the thinks that Kitty
does, she most dearly loves TO
paint things. Give her a brush,
can of paint and last years
playsuit and she is completely
happy.
When 7 left the house this
morning. Kitty said-taking up
the conversation where she had
left off before:
'T was going 10 paint the
newell posts today but. IL 1 put
on my old clothes, just know
that the War Chest people will
come. So that's why I've got my
green dress on"
However, i called this after
noon. The War Chest people
had not come. So please hurry,
War Chesters. so we can get
our newell posts painted.
NOW, to return 20 the post
office, a lady writes to me TO
suggest that people refrain
from sending Christmas cards
this year 10 speed up soldiers
Christmas mail. She wants TO
know what I think OF the idea.
What i think Of IL Is not inn
portant.
What the post office thinks Is
the important thing and they
don't think anything would be
gained. So go head and send
Christmas cards.
BUT SEND them early. For
local delivery. send your cards
by Dec. 10, or earlier for out
side Detroit. The bottleneck
will be space on the railroads.
Likewise. your cards will be de-
livered quicker il you put two
cent or three-cent stamps on
them instead Of one-and-a-
half.

Wilberforce university, AZ to 0, Sat-
urday afternoon on the locals grid

period, and in turn were not
threatened by the visiting eleven.
Burgess racked up the first Of
his three touchdowns in the initial
period OF a six-yard plunge which
eliminated a 45-yard march by the
Morgan Staters. Three plays later,
Irwin shook loose on a 46-yard
sprint and Days conversion gave
the hosts a 1870 margin.
Terry Day was next to 60 over
from three yards out, and the club
left the field at half time with Nor

vantage spread-eagled in the third
period. when Harris. Day and Bur-

The series was just about the

perpetrated by the owners.

TOWARD
1914 CAMP Align
Will Select Manager To
Replace Griffin Who
Is In The Army

The baseball season has folded.
the players have returned to their
various homes, and the uniforms,
gloves and shoes have been laid
away for the winter months.
But there's still baseball in the
air. especially at els East Warren
avenue where Ben Linton, owner Of
the Motor City Giants, maintains
his headquarters. During these fall
months Ben is dreaming and plan
ming for the season of 1914.
But supposing theses no baseball
for 1914, some of his friends insist?
Well, that's question Ben IS not
considering. He'll cross that bridge
when he gets to ii, Is his explana-
| ton.
Right now Owner Linton Is PLAN
ming the 1914 edition of the Motor
City Giants, and also devising
plans to improve the condition at
Dequindre Park. home OF the
Giants.
One OF the problems confronting
Linton right now is a new manager.
Silas Griffin, the 1913 manager, was
indicted into the armed forces sew
eral weeks ago.
Linton has not indicated whom
he'll select for the job of guiding
the team. at least not publicly. He
said recently that he would prob
ably make a selection some time
during the winter months. This
would give the new manager ample
time to select his men for the COM
ing campaign.
Most of the players during the
past season are married men and
employed in defense plants, playing
games on Sunday. However. with
the drafting Of pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers, there's possible chance
that the Giants will lose some of
their players before another season
rolls around.
Walter and Orel Thomas, Charles
(ReO House, Wilbur King, Robert
Johnson, Alton King, Ralph Hall,
and Willie Webster are among the
pre-Pearl Harbor fathers. In ad-
dition. each Of them is working in
a defense plant
In addition to naming new man
ager, Owner Linton is also prepar-
ing to add some new players to his
roster.

ing guard whose 100 pounds OF
bruising flesh has blazed the path
for the flying feet Of the backfield
stars OF Indiana university, is not
only known among the players for
his power on the line, but also for
his ability TO build up the morale
OF the team.
Coffee. who Is dubbed Rooster"
by his teammates, acquired this title
just prior to the kickoff in the In

transversally."

form up in ranks and, meanwhile,
were busy aSsaulting the coconuts.
On the beach there were the usual
impediments of a landing-piled
clusters OF barracks bags, radio
boxes, stacks of rifles and jeeps
pulling loads.
All of this made a perfect target
for Jap bombing But the Japs
literally missed the boat" Either
they were intimidated or unaware
of our operation.
I saw a brand-new Jap machine
gun as we'll as enemy rifles, ammu-
milton and other trophies which in
dicated the Jap forces on the Russell
Islands totaled more than 1000.
They evidently had planned to
build large air base here for at
tacks on our forces at Guadalcanal.
But the collapse of their resistance
on Guadalcanal short-circuited their
plans and they evacuated the Russell
Islands probably day after Guadal-
canal fell completely into our hands.
I found an American commander
roaming over palm covered, steam
ing hot hillside searching for a
waterhole for the troops. The Amer
leans, aware of the fact that water
is short on these islands, came ashore
with large we'll drills which were
rolled off cargo lighters.
Later in the day an officer reported
at our headquarters. He had come
with his troops from the other Army
landing point. He said his force
had made no contact with the
enemy.
This officers troops were the first
to land at the other of the two points
where Army forces came ashore.
We searched all the villages -
he told us, "and the only thing we
found was one letter in japanese.
However, the Marine raiders found
on Bycee Island a large Jap en-
campment where they discovered
cases of honey, boxes of vitamin pills
and machinegun emplacements.
All day and tonight our troops
braced themselves for an attack.
But the Jap planes never showed
up, thus missing a golden opportun-
ity and allowing us time for the
preparation of a hot reception if and
when the enemy appears
