GOLF ADVISORY
COMMITTEE SET

AS a measure to improve the
service of the municipal gol1
course, a group of lay persons
with John Sheehan as temporary
chairman, has been named to serve
on a golf course advisory commit
tee, Jesse A. Reynolds, city recrea-
ton director, said Thursday.
The first meeting of the group
was held Wednesday night at the
club house.
Members reported that the con.
dition of the course and the tees is
excellent, but that the outstanding
problem before the new committee
is to eliminate lack of courtesy on
the part of certain visitors to the
course.
There is a growing concern, the
report showed, because persons
are disregarding simple rules of
courtesy and operation which are
said to be necessary to the safety
and best interest of the players.
Violation of rules in the future
will result in drastic action, it was
explained.
Other problems that will be
watched include horse back riding
in the area, driving of automobiles
on the fairways and the greens, in
reference by small boys who steal
the balls from the course.

near future when, permanent Off

Montgomery-Ward Strike
Referred To White House

WASHINGTON, April 13-'R--
The War Labor Board (WLB) to-
day referred to the White House
a strike of Montgomery Ward and
Co. employees at Chicago as re-
suit of the company's defiance OF
a WLB order.
Board officials would give no
hint of what action the govern
ment might take to enforce the
WLB order to terminate the strike.
Earlier in the day. it was learned
that the Justice Department had
ended gentleman's agreement
with Montgomery Ward lawyers
which left the latter free to apply
to the courts for a restraining
order against WLB or other gov
eminent agencies which may be
involved in the case.

Seward, second place winner, by
a margin of two points, scoring a
total of 192x200 points over the two
stage course of fire against 190x
200 chalked up on the scoreboard
by Seward.
Last night was not the first time
that Otey has taken at high honors
at the weekly schools, officials
stated.
On his first target card, Otey
scored 94X100 to lead Seward by a
single point as the latter turned
in recorded 93x100. 1t was the
consensus of opinion that Seward
would overtake Otey on the second
stage of firing and go ahead to
win, but, though both men made
higher scores on their respective
second targets. Otey again out
pointed Seward by scoring a 98x
100 against his rivals 97x1O0. The
latter performance was described

That makes it just that much

The New York Yankees missed

be it's a little premature to be
thinking about lunch while break

sidered untimely.
However, we ran across a sports
column in the Camp Davis Bar

particularly new, is worth quoting
because it gives the servicemen' S
viewpoint, and we believe what the
servicemen want they should get.
if within reason.
Anyway, this article, written by
an anonymous soldier pinchhitting
for Sports Editor Sgt. Sid Gray,
after pointing out that everything
should be done to keep pro base
ball alive as it is one of the things
the fighting men look forward to,
continued:
Naturally we are 100 per cent
behind the aims of the moguls of
ODT and other defense agencies
whose DEGREES resulted in the big
leaguers having to take their prac-
tice sessions near home.
"But we think in the hue and
cry of attempting to ration trans
portation, and in the ruling which
kept the ball clubs off the rails
and roads of the South and Far
West, that highly valuable mo-
rale stunt was precluded.
Thousands of performers of
USO and other road shows are en-
abled, under existing transporta-
ton arrangements, to tour the va
rious training camps. A travelling
circus recently visited Camp Davis
and many neighboring installa-
lions. A glee club from great
state university is touring military
camps of the states. Name bands
pool cue artists, and sundry other
do the same. Trick shot golfers,
exhibitionists of other American
sports ply in and out of the camps.
"All this is well and good. The
millions of soldiers in the training
camps have all enjoyed these va
rious performances. But why,
oh why, couldn't baseball our own
national institution so dear to the
hearts of all of us that one OF
the first things asked by the boys
coming out of the battle lines is
who's ahead in the American lea
gue?' Or how did the Dodgers
make out in the series with the
Cards?' have been given the same
treatment.

don't propose~rt to subscribe for
somebody else. We think, however,
that should this war still be going
on a year from now, that the big
league baseball teams should be
given a huge green light on Flori-
da, California and Gulf Coast train
ing camps.
Further, we think the USO or
some kindred organization should
be imp1ored to tie in with the big
league big wigs and work out a
program through which the big
leaders could play in and out of
the camps for the greater part of
their training season. For Camp
