WASHINGTON, March IA
(UP)-President Roosevelt gave
wartime baseball its most reas-
suring go-ahead since he flashed
a green light for the game in
1912.
He told a press conference he

he was in favor of continuing
night baseball as ono means of
recreation for war workers and
that he saw no reason why the
major leagues. couldn't continue
TO operate.
He reiterated, however. he did
not think baseball should use per
fectly healthy men who could do
something useful in the war
effort
