CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-R-Clar-
ence Rowland, newly elected presl-
dent of the Pacific Coast League,
today was rated as the best post
ed man in baseball.
The appraisal was made by Phil
K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago
Cubs, and also owner of the Los
Angeles club, which Rowland had
directed as president for three
years before his elevation yester-
day to the $12. 5O0-a-year job as
chief executive of the coast circuit

Clever Soldier Quint Hot
In All Angles Of
Game
By BILL McILWAIN

The battling Camp Davis bas-
ketbal team cut loose with all its
heavy artillery last night, as it
roared to 5000 trouncing of the
Wilmington Coast Guard five in
Farnsworth Hall at Camp Davis.
The outcome of the contest was
never in doubt after the opening
minutes of play. The speedy Sol
der quint threw up a clever de-
Tense that completely held the
Guard cagers at bay. The Guards
men were unable to tally a single
field goal for the first 10 minutes
of play. Devine racked up their
initial basket with Davis holding
1858 advantage.
The aggressive Soldier bas-
keteers. who dropped close de-
cision to the Shipyard team last
week, displayed an extremely YER
satile attack in their victory over
the Guarders. With practically
every man on the squad contri-
buting to the point gathering, the
hustling Davisites sported a fast
offense that the c. G. hoopsters
were unable to thwart.
At the end of the first half OF
action the Soldiers held the big
end of a 31-14 score. With this
lead they were able to coast to
victory, throwing in the entire
squad in an effort to develop
reserve strength.
Brookfield, six feet, seven inch
Davis center from the University
of Missouri. copied the engage
ment's scoring honors with 10
points. Harland spanked the losers
with markers.
1t was the first game of the
season for Messing. crafty for
ward for the AA's. who has been
home on a furlough. Messing and
Knox are the only members of
last years undefeated cage team
who are still at Davis.
1t. Victor Dauer, newly appoint
ed hardwood mentor at Davis,
had been unable to work with
his team recently, as he was
forced to leave camp because OF
his mothers illness. The outfit
showed up well in the tiff, how
ever, and seem to be off for an
other fine court season.

A German shepherd dog belong

Good Indefinitely

Removal of time limitations
that restrict the use Of special
shoe stamps is announced by OPA.
The new provisions apply to all
special shoe stamps, except that
those issued to Mexican border
residents must still be used by con-
sumers within 80 days. Previously,
some special shoe stamps-such
as those issued as extra rations-
had to be used within time limits.
The provisions affect only special
shoe stamps and in no way involve
the validity of regular war ration
shoe stamps, either for consumer
or trade use.
