Boy Scouts
Doing Their Bit
For Victory
(By ARCHIE SCRIvNER)

Local troop "a of the Boy Scouts
has been doing its bit for Victory.
Several times it has been at the
point Of passing out of the picture
like other local troops. but it has
picked itself up and continued to
plug (hike) along.
Immediately after Pearl Harbor
the troop organized into an emer-
gency service unit to serve as mes
sengers or in any other capacity
under the local Defense Committee.
Remember the test blackouts and
air raids? The boys were there
with their bikes and flashlights.
Troop 81 participated in the metal
scrap drive, has distributed thous-
ands of leaflets and posters on War
Bond drives, United War Fund,
Red Cross drives. etc., and for the
last two and half months has been
canvassing the whole town regu-
larly collecting waste paper Last
week with the help of the schools,
approximately 5000 pounds we're
collected. Lincoln School was high
with close to thousand pounds.
AT a brief but-inapressive~ ceremony
last Friday. Francisco Rios, one of
the boys who has helped to keep
the troop active, was officially in
stalled as Junior Assistant Scout
master. Scouters present at the
meeting were Chet RAIDER, District
Scout Commissioner, and troop COM
mittee members Father James t.
Weber, William Glasson and RodoG-
TO Vega Since then plans are be-
ing made to organize a blood donors
group,
If we are not seen picking up
paper Sunday it means we are out
on an overnight hike.

soon the high school ball park
will be packed with boys tossing
balls round in all directions, bats
swinging, and the many, many
sOon-will.be priSed pitching arms
Iimbering-up for spirited action.
You said, How Gomez"
All of this sporting activity has
been made possible by the Ridge
Ego Post No. 23, American Legion,
N0gales, Arizona. The Legion is
now sponsoring a Nogales Legion
Junior Baseball League program
for the 1914 baseball season.
All organization plans have been
completed. The following named
local Legionnaires and citizens will
direct the Legion Junior Baseball
League program:
John B. Zuck, Post Commander
American Legion; John K. Herrera,
head coach and team manager
Lloyd Ledford, coach; Mike de la
Fuente, coach; w. D. Collier, repre-
sentative of State Athletic Officer,
American Legion; Frank B. Car
room, Finance Officer, American
Legion.
The playing competition will be
open only to boys who are amateurs
(who have never before received
compensation for playing any kind
of sports), and who will not have
attained their seventeenth birthday
before January 1st, 1914. Mote: A
boy born in 1927 or thereafter is
eligible.)
1t is planned to have at least two
teams playing in the Nogales Legion
Junior Baseball League. Due to
transportation problems, no attempt
will be made to book games with
other Legion teams outside of No
gales.
The local teams will be in con-
stant practice and will play matched
games with other teams in the No.
gales area. However, if we should
develop championship team dur
ing the first year, the State Depart
ment Of the Legion might arrange
a series Of games to be played with
another championship team in
Southern Arizona before the end of
the playing season. Note: The
state championship team of the
Legion Junior Baseball League. plays
in the regional finals. and the
winner of the regional finals plays
in the Junior World Series.
Three and one-half million boys
during their teens have played
Legion Junior Baseball since 1926.
A recent sampling survey of the
present activities Of these boys in
dicates that at least IS per cent Of
them are in the armed services to-
day. Current statistics from the
Selective Service headquarters indi-
cate that about thirty per cent of
the eighteen-year-old boys reporting
for service are rejected because Of
failure to pass the physical examin-
ations.
Such large percentage of Legion
Junior Baseball boys being able to
pass their physical examinations,
many of whom graduated from
Junior Baseball sixteen years ago,
indicates that their athletic compe-
tition taught them how to keep
themselves physically fit. This
proves the wisdom of continuing

Marty's S
Letter
BY MARTY
LOUGHMAN
Al E. Camerlin, Jr., sP 90 &c,

Al E. Camerlin, Jr., SP 90 &c,
Somewhere in the Pacific.
Dear Al:
Well, the baseball season has
started and the tomato season is
about over. The only thing is that
the tomato season was over months
ago but we never knew it. What a
headache!
The Nogales Internationals last
Sunday got two runs, four hits, one
error and four men left on base.
The Tomateros for the season got
no runs, NO HITS (and that's for
sure), and so many errors we lost
track, and before the season ends
every Tomatero will be off his base
well, nearly everyone anyhow.
Some were off before it started.
Most of us never got to first base.
and darn few got to the First Ma
tiOna1.
You being an old member of the
Internationals probably would like
to know something about the ball
game last Sunday So would I.
even though I was there.
Anyhow, they were beaten by the
Mariana Air Base team. Mariana
had too much pitch, too much hit.
We had no hit, not too much pitch.
I got the tip-off on our pitcher
Lefty Ybarra'' before the game
started. He was warming up and
was calling 'em behind the catcher.
and his fast one went wild and
cracked me on the shin-bone. I
thought a mosquito bit me and I
told Pete Abadie IF that's that guys
fast one. it's about as fast as the
Sud Pacifico's ,rapida. These guys
from Mariana will hit it to En-
palme.'' Well, I was wrong. They
didn't hit it to Empalme They hit
it to Culiacan It came up to the
plate as big as watermelon, and
when it left their bats it looked like
a six by seven tomato (Bill Acquire
pack.
Chuy Astiazaran had tough luck.
He was tapping a guy out at first
and broke his wrist. Same thing
happened to Andy Bookas, but he
was tapping guy for fifty and the
guy broke Andy'S wrist. Now Andy
has to deal with one hand.
The American Legion is doing a
swell thing here and elsewhere in
the country, organizing ball teams
for kids under II years-something
we've needed here in Nogales.
Your dad and the gang at the
fire house are all fine. They haven't
had workout at fire since New
berry's burned out, except the other
night they were called across the
line to the Cavern. But it was a
false alarm.
1t seems Al Breslau, the Mixer
of Ceremonies was curling his
hair with an electric curler and the
machine eot hot-box trying to
find his curls.
Best regards,
MARTY.
PS-Maybe I was wrong about
that pitcher not having a fast ball.
I got lump on my shin as big as a
grapefruit. and it's the color OF an
over-ripe avocado. Maybe his fast
one is like the Concordia's whiskey
YOU don't feel it until three or four
days after.
