Brass hats in the United States Army have become as sports con- scious as Brooklyn Dodger fans. And from now on you're going to see a lot of sports activity in the Army-both within the U. s. and abroad.
 According to the War Depart ment, the Army is planning to spend about $20,O00,00O on sport ing goods for GIs during the com ing year. This outlay is almost three times the amount laid aside for sports equipment last year.
 The Army also has set up a spe- cial command to carry out it's new sports program in order to place more emphasis on sports in the training of soldiers.
 Here's the way the WD ex- plans it's new plan:
 "Hitherto, exigencies of combat training have necessitated em- phasizing physical conditioning with competitive games limited to leisure time. As the tactical sit uation improves, Army planning can be expected to encourage the natural desire of the soldier for competitive athletics. :"

In Casey's lexicon there are only two kinds of ball players, good ones, or "professionals" s"-the kind he has at Milwaukee this year, and bad ones, or ribbon clerks" s"-the kind he used to have at Brooklyn and Boston.
 Once, when the ageless profes- sor was managing the Dodgers many years ago he sent in as a pinch runner an over-zealous youngster who had joined the team just the day before. Carrying the winning run, the young hero rounded second on banjo hit, came into third under a full head of steam and then fell flat on his face at Casey's feet and was tag ged out. The good professor had just one comment to make of his disappointing performance. Get up, you ribbon clerk" he said and walked away.
 Are Ball Players People?
 While touring the North Afri- can front last winter, Lefty Gon1- ez, the nimble Castilian, spotted a native boy carrying one huge packing case on his back and an other of equal dimensions on his head. "He looks," quipped Lefty, 'like Phil Rizzuto with Ruth on his back and balancing Gehrig on the top of his head.

Casey Has a Winner

Old Casey Stengel is smiling again. For the first time in ten years he has a good ball club to manage. After quitting his de- pressing job with the Boston Brav- es, he signed up to succeed Char lie Grimm as boss of the Milwau- kee Brewers, of the American As sociation, and right now the Brew CTS are leading the pack.

draft played around Mallory Ba'
ker's heart. But instead of answer
that ominous advice she made her
words personal.

nent goodby." She tilted her head
in a purposely coquettish fashion.
Certainly not. I had intended to
lombard the hotels to locate you
when / arrived in the city, A sud-
den frown creased the area be-
tween John Smiths blond eye
brows. "Or, do you happen to have
friends there
Heavens, yes" said Mallory
easily, as if surprised he thought
otherwise. Tod Patrick's spell
came to her mind, bringing with it
the name of the town with the
jewel-red roofs. Il have friends in
the city and in Taxco." To herself
she said. Keep helping me, Tod
Keep helping me-"
"In that case I'd better give you
my address,"
Yes" The blond girl watched
with careful eyes while John Smith
wrote on his calling card. His fin
gertips, gripping the pencil. were
thin and long, but powerful in a
Wiry fashion. That is one card I'll
never lose, the girl vowed. because
I want to know exactly where to
find this man.
When he looked at her again she
was smiling her vapid smile, CIV
ing the impression of being just a
pretty blond girl, bit stupid, ex-
cept for her talent. Now that she
had her second wind she deliber-
ately mentioned his admonition re-
garding the mountains and fog.
However. she still wore her iasipid
flirtatious look.
Thanks for telling me about the
dangerous highway. I'll be most
careful"

Smiths voice held its usual author

William answered the sharp tone

would like a drink Before she re-
sumes her journey''
