Agencies Respond
1.-The wisdom of these recommen-
dation," Governor Bason said, "has
been confirmed in every respect and
the response from all agencies has
been complete. Especially do /
want to thank Mr.. Carpenter for
his generous aid and encourage
ment.
81 know the anxious days and
wakeful nights that you mothers
and fathers have spent during these
trying months which have passed
since Dec. Z, 1941. Our boys are
risking everything for us. Let us
have the patience to spend three
hours together learning how we can
redeem our promises to them. Let
us wor ktogether tremendously and
make the state of Delaware the
model for the nation"
Explains Clearing Bureau
Mr.. Carpenter in his explanation
of the clearing bureau said:
Our government and state
agencies, our veteran organizations,
our volunteer workers-all of us
are bound together as partners in
the task of rendering vital service
to our returning veterans.
1.-THE clearing bureau at 801 Ship
I ley Street is open to every response
blel agency in Delaware desiring to
share in that partnership and re-
sponsibility.
81 hope that we shall never lose
sight of the great significance and
dignity of the work we are doing,
and that at all times we will keep
before us the fundamental objective
of the clearing bureau: Practical
service to the returning veteran"

VETERANS AID
GETS 100000
Gov. Bacon Reveals ALLEGATION
of State Emergency Fund;
Agencies Cooperate
RECOMMENDATIONS

The Veterans Emergency Fund of
100000, appropriated by the last
General Assembly for rehabilitation
of disabled veterans, will be made
abaiable to the Delaware Veterans
Commission, is was revealed by
Gov. Walter w. Bacon. R. R. M.
Carpenter, chairman of the Della
ware Red Cross and also chairman
/ of the veterans commission, re-
ported that the clearing bureau at
801 Shipley Street, Wilmington,
was officially opened Monday morn
ing and that officials and volunteers
in the bureau have complete under
standing and thorough training in
their tasks. In the near future, he
said, similar bureaus may be estab-
lished in Kent and Sussex Counties.
Clinic Available
During a recent conference, DR..
M. A. Tarumianzz, superintendent
of the Delaware State Hospital and
state psychiatrist, disclosed that
the Psychiatric Observation Clinic
at the hospital will be available to
veterans who may need brief per-
iods of hospitaization. He also re-

mel at the hospital, had authorized
the use of $3.50 month from the
state emergency fund to employ ad-
ditional professional services on a
temporary basis. The clinic, DR..
Tarumianz said, is prepared to adj
minister al the modern forms of
treatment including shock therapy.
Governors Report
Governor Bacon, reporting that
more than $4,000 Delawareans are
in the service, declared, 81 had a
solemn duty to take the initiative
in finding the answers to these
questions:
What provisions have been made
when the veteran comes back to
Delaware
Where does he turn for help
What does he do about his job 2
What if he is disabled or mentally
exhausted? How can we help him
to become happily readjusted to
civilian life?
ITO help me answer these ques-
TONS" Governor Bacon said, IT
sought the advice of representa-
tives of all agencies authorized by
law to deal with veterans problems
and also experienced veterans of
World War l, many of whom have
given more than 20 years of vol
untary assistance to the service of
their comrades"
Five Recommendations
AS a result, five specific recon-
mendations were made by the or
ganization committee of the State
of Delaware Veterans Commission:
First, that the Veterans Emer-
gency Fund of 100000 which was
appropriated by the last Legisla-
ture for rehabilitation of disabled
veterans be Immediately available"
The attorney general and the
budget commission promptly ap-
proved this request.
Second, that central clearing
bureaus be established to which
every veteran might be sent and
from which he could be referred to
the proper agency capable of find

outstanding team.
From the l6 teams in both leagues
only the Cardinals have any decided
advantage and if they happen to
lose a few men to the draft. the
scramble will then be complete.
The one big weakness In major
league baseball has been the fact
that in the last few years, two or
three teams have dominated the
two races, leaving the other Is or
Ia outfits struggling to see the lead
er's vanishing dust.
Year after year, we've seen the
Yankees so far in front by July that
you could turn your attention to
something else. In the last few years
the Cardinals and Dodgers have
been the only teams that counted in
the National.
A few years back the Tigers, In
dams and Reds broke up this COM
bination for a short spell, only to
subside later on.
But it's all different now. The

More Interesting Races

There have been only few
seasons in some 40 years where
baseball had two or three teams in
both leagues still in the race after
August. The greatest single season
was 1908 when Cubs. Giants and
Pirates were deadlocked through
September in the National league
and where the Tigers, White Sox
and Indians were well punched in
the American.
But In later years the Yankees
began wrecking their league, where
you knew by July Fourth there was
only one club left in the race. In
the meanwhile Cardinals, Reds and
Dodgers at least gave the National
league a few continued thrills.
Everyone knows today the caliber
of war baseball has fallen off badly.
No game can lose such men as
DiMaggio. Teller, Dickey, Ted Will
lams, Joe Gordon, Herman, Red
Ruling. Keller, Slaughter, Terry
Moore and hundred others with
out showing the deficit. But the
quality Of the two pennant races has
more than made up for the absence
Of so many shining headlights. After
all there is no big kick in watching
the home club struggling along
from IL to 80 games in the rut.
The wonder is that baseball has
done as well with so many lop-
sided races, with certain teams los
ing from 80 to q 100 games each
season as others won from 80 to a
100.
Baseball has needed a better dis
tribution Of playing talent, but l still
wouldn't know how to bring that
about with larger cities and
weather. owners having all the best
Of IL.
The war has taken charge of this
weakness. Among the 16 major
league clubs it has left only the Car.
dinals with any decided playing ad.
vantage so far. The Cardinals will
still have to lose more than one OF
two of their best men to fall back
with the pack, and make it a real
two league scramble. Just how
many more will be taken into wal
f, service is still anybody's guess.
After all, what the public wants
is contest-not runaway or q
walkover. Those who have lived In
second division cities. watching
their ball clubs try to finish sixth
or seventh, can understand this
much better than those pulling fol
pennant-winning teams, high UP in
the race.

Possible Aid

II is also Rolfe's suggestion that
the major leagues would help con-
duct the tournament. II is only
natural they would have an inter-
est in the meet, since they are al
ways interested in looking over the
good college players. However, 1t
is unlikely that the schools con-
cerned would accept any outside
help.
But it is more than possible to
secure an agreement under which
the major leagues-or the minors
would not deal with a student until
his class has graduated. For more
than 20 years the National Football
league has done this. Every once in
a while a slight irritation is caused
when a player quits school to join
the ranks, but those instances are
few enough so that they shouldn't
be allowed to throttle any workable
plan.
Most baseball coaches affiliated
with colleges viii approve of Rolfe's
plan. At least il is something con-
crete. 1t could bring college base
ball back to its former glory.

moths as Babe Ruth, Jimmy Foxx,
Lou Gehrig and Hank Greenberg,
who outclassed Mel in every physi-
cal way. all over 200 pounds. all six
footers. with Greenberg at feet 4.

usually have good supply of talent
for this type of competition. The
cost is not prohibitive, and the sup
port given many small town high
school teams verges on the phe-
nomenal.
Legion Program
The American Legion, despite
wartime restrictions and Difficult
ties, is continuing its junior base
ball program one Of the finest
sports undertakings in history. Most
state high school championships are
being held as usual.
There is one obvious reason why
little attention is paid to college
baseball in most instances. The
reason is financial. Seldom can
it support itself, much less show a
profit. The Big Ten has kept the
game fairly healthy. but has done
little to make it a real drawing
card.
Baseball is looked upon as a
minor sport in the college world.
But it isn't natural that so popular
game should be so neglected. With
so many people interested in the
game, why relegate it to the same
position occupied by swimming,
fencing. etc. Not that there is any,
thing the matter with those sports,
but they never have captured the
public imagination. Baseball has.
Rolfe suggests q sectional elimina-
tiOn series with the Pacific coast
champions playing the Big Six or
Missouri valley winners; the South
west against the Southeast and the
Midwest against the East.
THE play-offs and championship
series could be completed within ten
days after the college terms end in
June" Rolfe says. That would
necessitate some schools keeping
their players on deck for a week or
two, but precedent wouldn't be
broken. The N. c. A. A. track and
field championships do the same
thing.
