Baseball's manpoWe problem
appears today TO have passed
the acute stage as the Major
Leagues settle down to six
month run with pleasant pros
poets of tight pennant races and
night baseball to bolster mid
week attendance figures.
When the big show resumes
tomorrow, after a tWo-day trav-
ell interlude, they'll turn on the
lights at Washington, Cincinnati
and Pittsburgh and the "Owl
Bali season will be under way.
Draft boards still hold the
balance of power in every
league, but Major League ros-
tiers have not undergone drastic
changes since the season opened.
In addition to the American
and National loops, the complete
Minor League setup is in opera
tionwith three double-A circuits,
one Al league, one A corcuit,
two class B and three class B
and three class d organizations.
So far, nobody has had to play
with less than nine men.
Since the manpoWer problem
became at least temporarily
stabilized such stars as Spud
Chandler of the Yankees and
Joe Bcggs of the Reds have been
taken but many others still arc
playing.
Several players on each big
League club are on lend-least
from the armed services after
passing their physical exams but
they are playing until called. In
that list, among others, are Gee
Walker of the Reds, Damon
Phillips, Connie Ryan ane
Butch Nieman of the Boston
Braves, Bobby Bragan OF Brook
Ign, Johnny Lindcll Of the
Yanks and Ray Hamrich of the
Phils.

DEBUT KATZTASTROPHE

Katz is of notified ancestry
German, Scotch, Irish.
Unlike most players, he does
Mt care to hunt or fish, would
rather spend an evening watch
ing fancy ce-skating. Sonia
Henie is tops.
katz, whom manager Bill Nc
Kechnie likes, was recommend
ed by ST Burick, sports writer
for the Dayton News.
His debut at the Bloomington
camp was something in the ma
ture of a Katztastrophe. The
Reds jumped on his offerings in
an intra- squad game.
Katz kept chucking, however,
won his job when he white
washed the Cleveland Indians
for three innings in an exhibit
ton in Dayton, where he de-
lighted a hometown throng.
The story Of Bob Katz is that
he quit a good job to play ball.
Most ball players reversed the
process.

Katz, Leaves $lO2 Week job
TO Toll for Cincinnati Reds

wartime season, acknowledging
33 birthdays and as many disap-
pointments. He is notable prin-
cipally because he discarded
toolmaking job in Dayton, o.,
which netted him $l02 week,
TO seek the more uncertain, but
doubtless the more interesting,
employment as pitcher on the
Cincinnati staff.
Robert Clyde Katz. youngest
Of Is children was born in
Lancaster, heart of the Pennsyl-
vania AmiSh country, Jan. 30,
1911.
He grew up in that bucolic en-
vironment, learned to take for
granted the eccentricities of his
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. strange folk
who wear long boards, make ex-
cellent cheeses, drive buggies
and paint the front door vivid
blue when there is an eligible
daughter in the family.
LIMITED OPPORTUNITY
When Katz arrived at the age
when most young players are
ready for professional baptism,
he was stymied by that old buga-
boo of our civilization-limited
opportunity. Only Is profess
Sional leagues were operating in
1881, when Katz was 20, SO his
chances Of going out were near
~ as hopeless as Cinderella's S.
katz' professional debut was
delayed Until 1885, when he
signed with the Red Sox, and
was presented with railroad
ticket TO Charlotte. Bob was
then an out-fieider. His con-
tract was assigned to Allentown
of the New York Pennsylvania
League, where he divided his
loyalty between the mound and
the gardens.
The following spring found
Katz, now strictly right
handed pitcher, with Dayton of
tn Mid-Atlantic. He won z,
lost 8, was optioned to McKees-
port, Pa, where he found time
to win and drop 3. Tipped to
Canton for 1887, he won II and
lost 6, was promoted to Rocky
Mount for 1898, where he had
a 500 year-l2 victories and as
many reverses.
Back at Rocky Mount in 1889,
katz copied IL, droppfi 8,
graduated to Little Rock. He
won 10 and lost l3, not bad
when you consider that the Peb-
bles finished seventh.
Katz was sold to Louisville,
but for reasons of his own re-
fused to report. He returned to
Dayton, started learning the
toolmaking trade, got married.
In the autumn of 1910 he helped
out Canton with a few mound
chores, but outside of that he
has been baseballically inactive
until now.

your children and see that they .
net work too long hours. or at tasks
which overStrain their nervous ca
pacities. Watch your child'S school
work. When it falls off, that is a
sure danger signal.
Third, don't pay children for
everything they do. Parents need
to instill in their children the COM
petitive spirit and interest in doing
things without pay-a zest for ac-
tivities fer the fun of it.
Fourth, know your children's pals
and what kind of people they work
with. Be alert to the whereabouts
of your children after working
hours are over, for the child. even
as the adult, is known by the COM

Most important, there should be

BY THOMAS NJ. FOLEY
War has glamor. If adults feel
it, how much more children react
to the heightened excitement of
war activities. Tie glamor of war
affects the relationship CT children
with each other, and with men in
uniform. The world is in high gear
and that means parents must
exert more careful control over
their children.
Paradoxically, it was said that
poverty was an underlying cause
of juvenile delinquency Now, too
much money is having the same
effect. Children are making big
money, and are indulging in en-
tertainment usually reserved for
adults. The money they have to
spend is more potent factor in
their delinquency than poverty ever
was.
There's no use our being didac-
tic about whether children should
work. Our present economic situ-
alton is such that increased man.
power is needed. Boys and girls
are going to respond 10 that ap-
peal What can parents do about
it?
There are several things parents
can do-and should do. First, they
should induce their children to
save a fair portion of their earn
ings, which would remove the
temptation to spend money on ac-
tivities that are not good for them
and insure their postwar educa-
tion..

their confidence, they don't drift
away from you. And teach them
the skills in which you are expert.
Don't be ashamed of your own abil-
tiles. Many girls grow up without
learning 10 cook, because mothers
found it easier to do the cooking
themselves. Or if you're good
carpenter, teach your son your skill,
even though you want him to study
law.
When you cannot be with your
children, know what community
resources are available for them.
There are many fine activities for
adolescent boys and girls-recrea-
ton programs, Scouting, Junior
Red Cross and other war work.
Plan to have children do some
thing with others, to help in win
ming the war.
Finally, parents, don't let your
selves be blinded by over-protect-
ing them. Give them responsibil-
ity and let them assume it. When
your children do wrong recognize
their faults and help them to ever
come them. Yours is the respon-
sibility of training them to be hon.
orable citizens.
