Dear Joe: Well, Joe, by the time
you get this I suppose you'll be in
Paris, gamboling on the Paris
green I've heard SO much about,
although if you couldn't find that
I know it wouldn't worry you as
you will gamble on anything, if you
get the right odds.
Anyway, we're all right proud OF
you boys, and marvel how you can
get around so fast carrying all
those Nazis. Every time we pick
up a paper we read where you
have 10000 more Germans in a
pocket. Must be light brigades,
huh?
I'll try to catch you up on the
sports news hereabouts, Joe. The
National league race is the same,
only more SO, with nobody closer
to st. Louis than Battle Creek. The
American league race is tighter
than a cider press, though. The
Browns still are leading, but they
have the Red Sox, Tigers and Yank.

New York Yankees last Sunday,
and it marked the sixth occasion
that the Tigers have had two or
more 20-game winners simultane-

The 13-members of this mythica al
club won 20 or more games 26
times, with the highlight of con-
centrated pitching strength coming
in the clubs first championship
saeson when Pat Donovan, Ed Kill
liam and George Mullin each won
20 or more and Ed Siever won 10.
The four accounted for SO of the
Tigers 81 victories that year.
.Killian and Mullin had collabor-
ated two years earlier to gain 20
triumphs each, with Donovan on
ly one game shy of that figure. Null

Ed Willett made the grade.
Another pair, George Dauss and
Harry Coveleskie, teamed to notch

GREEN BAY, Wis, Aug. 23.-lR
"A rugged, young halfback from a

when he came up. He had one
bad eye that had Fept him oat OF

despite it, but he wasn't iii the

Then Hutson w.li to wo,k He

throw footballs. Hutson would catch
them, trot back and tell Comp wha'
The was doing wrong.
Hutson taught Comp how to side
step, dodge and pivot. He taught
him how to lead a receiver, how
to throw a soft pass, a hard one
and a long one.
Today as the Packers begar

Comp looked like finished per

an assistant coach and was salts

The Packers have squad of 81
men, including 30 veterans prepar

season. The veterans are probabl,
as good as any other club ha'

HOLIDAY WORKERS GET EXTRA WAGES
Time and One-half for All War Workers Says
 Labor Department

Boston, Dec. 19-Employes engag- ed in war work on Christmas Day must be paid time and one-half, but not more, under Executive Or der 9240 which governs the overtime and premium pay practices for "all work relating to the prosecution of the war" George H. Foley, Region al Attorney of the U. s. Department of Labor. said today.
 Executive Order 9240 limits Christmas Day pay to time and one-half and it is a violation of the Order to pay double time for work performed on that day. The other holidays designated in the Executive Order for which time and one-half and no mare must be paid are New Years day. Fourth of July. Labor day, Thanksgiving and Memorial day or an undesignated holiday of greater local importance than Memorial day.
