The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-04-13
(Reg. U. s. Pat. Off.) BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor

New York, April 13-UP)-Al- though no definite decision has been reached, the Major Leagues may use the off days usually set aside for the All-Star game to raise money for various war charities this year with series of intra-city contests, the United Press learned today
 The All-Star contest was concelled this year as the major item in base balls voluntary program to curtail travel 25 per cent because of the critical transportation shortage.
 So on July g, 10, and II all but two of the 16 Major League clubs will have nothing to do. The two that are busy, the New York Giants and Yankees, will meet in a Red Cross benefit game in New York. The GiantS-Brooklyn and the Yankees Brooklyn already have played ben eft games for that organization.
 Last year each of the 16 clubs designated one of theii home games for the National war fund, with all receipts going to that agency, which in turn distributed it to various re- lief organiza tions.
 Whether the same program will be followed this year, with the addi- tional July off-day games, may be decided at Cleveland April 24 if the club owners don't take too long to get together on a new baseball com- missioner The matter at least will come up for discussion, if not a de- cision, at that time.
 Thus far baseball has been second only to racing in the amount of money raised for charity since Pearl Harbor. The game is anxious to Improve on that record if it can be done without hampering the war effort. And the chances are that it can.
 "NaturaIs"
 The extra games would see the Cardinals and Browns meet in St. Louis on one of those off days, the Cubs and White Sox at Chicago, the Red Sox and Braves at Boston and the Phillies and Athletics in Phil adelphia. To augment that natural rivalry, Detroit and Cleveland could be matched. Pittsburgh and Cincin- natl could get together, with Wash ington meeting the Yankees and the Dodgers playing the Giants.
 Because of the three days off, 1eSst clubs probably will be at home 6e not much travel would be involv- ez. And if such program can be arranged it should result in a lot of dollars going into relief channels.
 Most of the teams already have played in one or more Red Cross benefit games. Many of the exhibi- ton games played at the training camps of the different clubs were for the Red Cross. For tl most part, however, the turnouts and receipts were disappointing. That's another reason why baseball is anxious to add the extra games if possible.
 The proposal, it was reported. first Was.advanced as substitute for the games played for tn war fund last year. But because it would re- dlice the receipts from 6 games to eight, that part of the projected program was quickly discarded. So khe idea now is to schedule those kames as an additions. avenue for charity dollars.
 It won't hurt Major League base ball any f it should go out of the Wey te sas that the program is car- <ied pllt

 Sporting !. World
He Had Whot 1t Takes"
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Though an all-out effort in behalf of sports was impossible for Frank lin Delano Roosevelt, one of our greatest presidents, whose sudden death is mourned by great and small in all parts of the world, the world of sports knew it had a friend in the White House when FDR took the oath of office for the first time in 1892 as President of the United States.
 His genuine and active love of swimming, fishing and baseball was not acquired for political purposes. His famous green light" statement in behalf of Baseball W as not given on the spur of the moment. In reply to his critics in 1883, his sporting expression T do not expect to hit a home run every time go to bat" gave all of us real insight into the greatest Personality in Washington since the time of Abe Lincoln.
 What appealed to me about President Roosevelt was his in- domnitable courage in the face of u C44olo-SuC1l dS LI1c 6CpI cSo1OI1 after 1929; and his immediate re- actions to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor; his unconditional surrender" ultimatum thrown into
 the teeth of the smooth and sly diplomats of Germany and Japan and the few remaining Pacifists of our own country. In the face of a physical handicap that would
 have broken the body and spirit
 of an average man, Franklin Del-
 ano Roosevelt went Onward and
 Upward, ever the optimist, seeking a lasting peace, but never fearing War, with all it's horrors and de- gradation of the human race.
 He had the raw, sheer courage of a conqueror, the intelligence to back up his demands and a reverence for God that was most admirable in his every important speech and action. Truly, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, president of the United States of America, for l2 years, HAD WHAT TT TAKES.

ED. ROOSEVELT RATED HIGH IN
 SPORTS WORLD
BY CARL LUNDQUIsT

Umhte0 tre8S Seaff Correspondent
 New York. April l3-(UP)-When President Roosevelt, early in his first term, answered critics of his policies with the words, T don't ex- pect to make a home run every time I come to bat" the sports world knew 1t had a friend In the White House.
 Without the provisional green light" for baseball which he issued in one of his last press conferences there would have been little hope for continuation of the sport into its fourth wartime season. 't.tt
 Because few persons knew of his fatal illness, there had been hope to the last that he might follow up the green light" declaration, by throwing out the first ball at the presidential opener between the Senators and Tanks at Washington next Monday.
 Now, in respect to the staunchest friend the Major Leagues ever had in the White House, the game may be cancelled, and ti. ere was a defin- ite possibility that the opening ot the regular season on Tuesday al most might be delayed for a day or so.
 MT. Roosevelt in urging the con tinuation of baseball for 1945 said he did not think the sport should use perfectly healthy men who could d., something more useful in the wal effort. The teams probably would bt little older and maybe not as pro ficient, he said.
 Then he told the newsmen tha' he liked to see baseball games, ever if played by sandlot outfits.
 That removed the final vestige oi doubt about whether there would bt professional baseball this season.
 Need Of Nation
 Similar green light" declarations preceded the other wartime seasons the President emphasizing the neee of the nation for the wholesome di- version of an afternoon or an eve ming out-of-doors when it's way chores were finished.
 He was considered responsible fo, extension of the Major League limit on night games after press con ference in 1943 when he suggested that more after dark games would be beneficial to the many govern. ment workers in Washington whose hours were in the day time. The Major Leagues promptly gave Wash ington special dispensation to play an unlimited schedule of night games and last year extended the number of games for all clubs whose parks had lighting facilities.
 Liked To Swim
 It was the Presidents fondness ot swimming which led to his life long affliction from infantile paralysis He was swimming at the family summer home at Campo Bello, Me- in 1921 when he acquired the virus and shortly thereafter was paralyzed in both legs.
 After that he swam to strengthen the weakened legs and it was only in his third term when he had to discontinue his favorite sport be- cause the press of duty was too great for him to spare the time. During his retreats to his second home at Warm Springs, Ga, he spent many hours swimming in his private pool there and attributed the exercise to his ability to walk at all.
 On presidential vacations, which became more infrequent, he used U. s. Navy vessels for deep sea fish, ing cruises and he regarded it as a deep personal loss in 1922 when his favorite cruiser, the U. s. s. Houston, was sunk in the battle of Savo Island in the Pacific.

In fact, the pessimists can com.
pare our present huge national debt
today with the comparatively small
national debt existing in 1919. On
the other hand, the optimists can
prove that following World War ii
the United States will be the
strongest, richest and most produc.

more, our country, for some years,
will be free from competition from
Germany, Japan and other prev.
ious competitors.
