And train dispatcher McAster checks them down

And if you happen to entertain any doubts
See him in action when the 610 comes in
Accompanied by whistles and railroad station din
Arches never missed train, without exaggeraton
Except when his leg and his annual vacation
He's talked with persons of great renown,
And when the $40 comes in he's just about
The most important man in this town,
Tes talked with persons of great renoWn,
Such and actors who pass our way,
Oh lot of them in his day.

Has even brought lost stranger home.
We're right proud of Archie goodness knows,
Always the job when the whistle blows.

THE MOON

The moon is full tonight,
1t is shining all the time.
On some terrestrial scene,
1t is lovely silver light.
1t lights us in the darkness
And guides us by the way,
# we wish to take ramble
Beside moon-lit way.
1t always keeps the same old path
While travelling here and there,
And it gives that golden light
Which always seems so fair.
1t lights us by the wayside
Wherever we may go,
Beside the babbling brook
Or on the frozen snow.
1t comes and then it goes
To some far distant land,
But it always comes once more
To make the scene so grand.
1t comes back here
welve times each year.
and we are glad that many times.
Glad to see it reappear
Tonight you can see 1t all
1t looks its very best,
Go out, and take look
Before you take much-needed rest.

Soldiers ln Pacific
 To See AU>Star Games

Soldiers in the Pacific Theater who thought they had missed out on this seasons big league baseball are in for a treat. According to a recent War Department announce ment two all-star teams represent ing the National and American Leagues will make a tour of var ious spots in the Pacific, following the World Series, where they will hold inter-league games.
 Here is the set-up according to Arthur Hymns story in "The Sporting News" Each team will consist of IS players, who probably will be chosen by vote of the man. agers of the eight clubs in the two leagues. It is likely that the two managers will be selected first in consultations with the club owners.
 The announcement of the trip was made at the office of Major General A. D. Surles, Public Rela- tions Director of the War Depart ment after a meeting of Surles.
Bradley beam., 1943-10-09

Commissioner K. M. Landis, Brig. Gen. F. H. Osborn, Director of the Special Service Division, and Lieut.. Col. Larry MacPhail, assistant to the Undersecretary of War. The major leagues offer was made by Landis and accepted by the War Department.
 Previously, there had been dis cussion of similar tour to the European Theater, but it is assum- ed that plans for this trip have been cancelled or held in abeyance for the present. The announcement said "the teams will be sent to un- disclosed destinations in the Paci- fife Theater of operations following the close of the Worlds Series"
 It is probable that all clubs in both leagues will be represented on the teams, although Landis point, ed out that playing strength of the two squads would not be sacrificed merely to give representation to each club. Inasmuch, as the teams
Bradley beam., 1943-10-09

will be officially chosen by the two leagues, the games they play for the entertainment of service men will be regarded as official inter league contests. The Commissioner will send representative on the trip. An American League and a National League umpire also will go along.
 The tour will be handled by the Special Services Division and the Army will provide the transporta- tion, with the palyers donating their time.
 Landis indicated he would have nothing to do with the selection of the players and that the choices would be made entirely by the two leagues themselves. He also said he did not originate the plan, but that it represented a voluntary of fer by he players as a patriotic gesture in behalf of the troops.
 "I'm not hostile to it," the Com missioner declared, "but it's not my baby" He said he did not know where the plan originated, but that probably it would be possible to find many people who believed they had the idea first.

Basketball Season
 Around the Corner

With the leaves turning and the days shortening their hours of sunshine, the arrival of basketball is just around the corner. To the court game enthusiast this is doubly welcome this year due to the fact that, for the first time, Bradley Field will have Post team. Games are being arranged with other quintets in the vicinity and a big hoop season is in store for all.
 The call is out now for exper- fenced players. Anyone wishing to try out for the team should call the Special Service Office at 205. Gan4es viii be played in the new Gym and will be followed by dan cing.

WARMlN' THE BENCH
By SGT. FRANK de RLOIS GNS Sports CoryesboSdest
WHO DO YOU LIKE7

Here's one you can chew on awhile:
 Who was the greatest football player you ever saw in your life? Red Grange, perhaps, or Tom Her mon, or Bronko Nagursh? Or maybe Don Hutson, Mel Hein, or Br,1iser Kinard?
 The best guess is that you can't answer this question at all. And if you can't you're in good company, because the best grid coaches in the country can't answer it either.
 Esquire Magazine in a recent poll of football coaches found that they all had their. favorites, but most of them didn't agree with the other guys choice.
 Grange go more votes than any one else and a lot of the coaches though that the Illinois redhead's 95-yard touchdown runback of the opening kickoff in the 1924 Illinois Michigan game was the best single play they had ever seen on a foot ball field.
 That was the day when a Michi- gan player, at the opening kickoff, turned to the Illinois center and said:
 Where's this guy Grange? We want to kick to him."
 He's right by the goal posts," the Illinois center replied. "Go ahead and kick"
 Michigan went ahead and kicked and Grange returned the boot 95 yards for touchdown. Before the game was over, Grange made four more touchdown runs of 67, 56, A and 15 yards and Illinois won, 39 to IA.
 Bronko Nagurski, the old Minne- sota land mine who gained more ground in the National Professional Football League than Gen. Mont, gomery did in North Africa, fin ished second to Grange in the Es- quire poll. Big Bronko, who retired from competitive football several years ago and has been doing noth- ing but little wrestling ever since has announced that he's coming back to the Chicago Beers this fall as a tackle.
 Third among the All-time foot ball greats in the magazine poll was Jim Thorpe, the all-around man, who could do everything in sports but hit curve ball for John McGraw. Thorpe was followed by Tom Harmon and Singing Sammy Baugh, a couple of moderns, while Don Hutson, the kind of the pass catching ends, was top lineman in the voting.
 Other stars who rated high in the Esquire poll were Ernie Meyers of Stamford; Georg Gipp, storied Notre Dame back; Ace Parker, the never-say-die Duke University and Brooklyn Dodger star; Cliff Bat ties, of the Washington Redskins; Dutch Clark, great Colorado quar- terback; Jarrin' John Kimbrough, of the Texas Aggies; George Nc Afee, of Duke and the Bears; Bruce Smith, of Minnesota; Whiz- ger White, of Colorado, and Frank Sinkwich of Georgia, last seasons top star.
 The late Walter Camp, "father of football" was partial to a cou- pie of old Blues. Fudge Heffefin- ger, the grandfather, of all the guards in the world, was one of them. And Frank Hinkey, who made Camps All-American team four times, was another.
 Stout Steve Owen, coach of the New York Giants, once told Grant land Rice that his all-time All American backield would be com- posed of Grange, Nagurski, Thorpe o-I Dr,oL Cuc~,Ir sEAxI xyho Naxy
