THE NOME NUGGET

ceeded in getting an unpaid and unspon sored symphony orchestra of high school children put off the air, he had removed all dangerous competition. But there still remained one serious rivalry which now threatens a strike in two major net works.
 The new trouble hinges on this deli cate point: Is the arduous feat of placing music recordings on turntable an en- gineering or musical operation?
 Mr. Petrillo contends that as long as there is music on the records, the hand ling of them comes within his unions field. He got the networks to agree with him (they long ago discovered that it's futile not to). They signed contracts to hire trained, sensitive, dues-paying mu- sicianS for this delicate and taxing work at mere 12 bucks day
 But the National Association of Broad cast Engineers and Technicians feels that perhaps a man with degree from M. I. T. or Purdue can put on and take off the records and even place the needle in the right groove as part of their regu- lar work and at no extra charge. They're being a bit stubborn about it. They threaten to walk out if a long-hair from the A. F. M so much as lays an irrev- erent hand on a recorded singing com mercial
 And there the matter rests at the mo- ment. Our sympathies are with the en- gineers. But, since you can't ignore past performances, our money is on MT. Pet rillo.
 Most of all, however, we are intrigued with the future possibilities for the mu- sician that the latest Petrillo contention opens up. If wax disc containing grooves which under certain conditions give off musical vibrations should be handled only by g member of the musi- cian's union, then the musicians post war employment problems are solved.
 The piano mover will have to hold an A. F. M card A union musician will have to ride on every moving van to handle the family radio and Juniors fid- dle The boys and girls who sell radios, photographs, records, instruments and sheet music will have to join up.
 And you won't catch us touching our portable radio until Mr. Petrillo has passed upon our fitness and accepted our initiation fee.-(Anchorag Times)

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-P-Bliss
full optimists are inclined to view
the bleak outlood for major league
baseball pictured by iris Speaker
as the manifestation of an upset
stomach or throbbing tooth, bui
we are inclined to take the Grey
Eagles remarks quite seriously.
Much more seriously, in fact,
than we would take the remarks
of a man whose sole interest is
baseball and who, with all the So
licitude of doting daddy defend
ing his offspring, sees only what
he wants to see in the picture. And
what he wants see always IS
something pleasant.
We think Speaker has better
viewpoint than the average citizen
on the manpower situation be-
cause he. is a member Of a draft
board. Now being a member OF a
draft board doesn't necessarily
make man an authority on the
manpower question, but he at least
is in better position to see which
way the wind is blowing than the
average non-member. The corner
groceryman may not be an author
ity on the national food situation,
but he knows what he can and
what he can't get better than his
customers.
: Speakers statement that IA or
2-B Deferments quitting war jobs
to play ball would find themselves
promoted to Ia without undue de-
lay indicates the attitude his board
will take in such cases, and if his
board is fairly representative of
the thousands of other boards it
looks like ball players in such cate
-gories have had their choice made
for them.

south. 1t was a walk-ashore opera
ton that forged four miles or more
inland at the first rush.
Under the cover of that advance,
Allied air power and naval guns,
heavy reinforcements in men,
guns, tanks and all the necessary
equipment for major action were
landed. The critical phase of any
amphibian assault seemed over al
most before it had begun.
The result is obvious. The Nazi
command is faced on it's western
sea flank not with a precarious
Allied beach foothold as at Saler-
no, but with a ponderous threat
that has brought under gunfire a
dozen or so vitality important sup
ply and escape routes for Nazi
troops south and east off Rome.
The main Rome-Naples coastal
route, the Via Appia, is already
useless to the enemy for defensive
or offensive purposes. Tank-bolst-
cred Allied spearheads obviously
are rushing up the Nettuno-Cister-
ma road to reach and cut the Via
Appia and up the Anzio-Albano
route to nip it again closer to
Rome
The Nettuno landings, the core
of the Allied sea-borne thrust, were

gained baseball, which has been
sending many of its best men into
the armed services for the past
three years, is due to receive a
slight return on it's investment this
season,
: A few athletes-very few in COM
parison to the number who have
ioined up since the end of the 1913
season-have been discharged
from the Army and Navy and will
return to their old trade of playing
ball.
Among them are four players
with considerable major league ex-
perience who are scheduled to go
to big league training camps this
spring, about as many more rock
lie prospects who will come up for
trials and about a dozen. minor
leaguers whose names appear on
recent national association bulle-
tins as 'reinstated from national
+ defense service list"
The Chicago White Sox will take
no fewer than three ex-Arny men
to camp. They have Myril Hoag,
veteran outfielder, Roy Schalk, an
infielder who hit .288 for Little
Rock in the Southern Association
in 1912, and Rookie Pitcher Tony
Annoreno, who had two years ex-
perience in the Northern League:
Big Ed Levy, who was given a
trial as the Yankees first base
man last spring, traded to the
Phillies and finally wound up in
Newark, will come up again with
the Yanks. The baseball draft
skipped over him last fall because
he was due for induction but the
Coast Guard turned him back aft
er short time.
Jack Kramer, who pitched for
St. Louis in 1941, is back on the
Browns roster. He was discharged
from the Navy in time to win
eight games and lose two for To-

SPORTS TRAIL

Dodgers thinks major league base
ball will survive the 1914 season,
but he is becoming a bit skeptlcal
of the chances of the higher CLASH
fication minors, although, as he
saws, he isn't worrying. about the
farm clubs. Right now that seems
like saying he isn't worrying about
the little man who wasn't there,
as the prospect of farm clubs is
hazy, to say the least.
Hickey, whose life is baseball,
cannot be blamed for shooting a
flashlight into every nook and cor
ner in an effort to uncover some
hidden hope. To quit talking optl-
mism before there is absolutely
no chance of the game carrying
on would be quitting the ship with
out trying to plug all the leaks.
Anyway, if Hickey IS right and
Speaker is wrong, we think the
major league clubs will be made
UP almost entirely of guys whose
names will mean absolutely moth
ing to servicemen, who are report
ed strongly in favor of the con-
tinuation of the game. And if they
don't know anything about the
players, it is questionable if the
interest of the servicemen can be
maintained. 1t should be too much
like trying to generate interest in
an Irish soccer match. It's the per-
sonal touch. the Individual. that
maintains the popularity of any
sport.
We may be wrong on that, but
that's our personal reaction. In
normal times the fans, outside
the iramediate terriotry of min
or league, don't give hoot about
that particular league. But every
one follows the major league clubs.
They have the name players and
the personalities.
