After reading the following poem relative to Baseball and noting the circumstances under which 1t was written, you might agree that Jim- my Wisecup. buck private now in the South Pacific must have more than Q little of what 1t takes" to win a war. a baseball game or for that matter-anything. Tn letter to Warren Giles. the front office boss of the Cincinnati Reds, Private Wisecup wrote. as preface to his poem. T want you to know how happy it makes US out here Co know that Baseball can still carry on through these horrible times" The letter came from New Britain island in the Southwest Pacific last July sth.
 He also wrote: T am very eager to see game again. but since that is impossible, can at least put my thoughts into little polm. Here it 1t:
 THE NATIONAL GAME They play it in the majors EOt tAtC utuStA aatG btohy hOtls They play 1t on the sandlots By the gas tanks just for fun. They come up from the coal mine And they leave the roaring mill For bat and mitt to field and hit And get their baseball thrill. They play it on the campus. On village greens and farms Where Waners, Youngs, and
 FelIers
 Trained batting eyes and arms. And in the war plant region, When swing shift ends the grind The baseball teams are legion. As they call the umpire blind. They play it in the Army. The Navy and Marines.
 They play it way down under, And mid Africas hot scenes. They'll play 1t soon in Europe Where the Axis forces lag. For baseball. now as ever, Keeps following the flag.
