 FROM BYRNES
National loop PrexyW Wanfs Stop or Go" Signal
 for Baseball

NEW YORK, Feb. G0-Ford Prick, president of the National League, has arrived in Washington to get a definite commitment from War Mo- bilization Director James F. Byrnes, as to Baseball's status.
 It was learned here that Prick had gone to Washington armed with a list of major league personnel, consisting mostly of 4-Fs, Dis charges, Over-age and Under-age players The informant, who ask ed that his name be withheld, went cn to say:
 'As we have said many times be- fore, we don't want to use a single man who is needed by the Armed Fcrces or essential industry; how ever, we'd like to keep the men who are not needed. All we ask is no discrimination. I believe Tricks principal point will be. Either leave US enough men to play baseball, or tell us to stop. They can't expect us to play without players.
 President Will Harridge, of the American League, also is expected to arrive soon in Washington.

Niearasua's $ Sports Queen
AP Neuspeatures

PHILADELPHIA = At 21 pretty Senorita Sary Elcina Miranda is queen of Nicaraguan sports but she has ether ambitions.
 The dark haired basketball and scftball star wants to be the first woman athletic instructor in her native country.
 That's why she is in Philadelphia although she is spending part of her time brushing up on the Eng fish language.
 Shy and as attractive as any Spanish sanorita of song and story, she locks more like demure debu- tante than the No. l girl athlete of the Central American country
 Once in sports attire, the ssnor- ita demonstrates her right to her title. With an ease that suggests poetry in motion, she drops a bas- ketbal through the hoop from al- most any angle. She wiefds a base .all bat with the efficiency of a big league diamond star.
 It was only year or so ago that the senorita's basketball team won a championship series from Mex ican girls squad by taking three of five games. That was after the Nicaraguan girls finished playing a successful season in Costa Rica, Cuba ana Panama.
 Senorita Miranda arrived in Philadelphia without the usual fam fare accorded a visiting celebrity. But she still had memories of tne sendoff rendered her by the home folks in Managua, capital of Nicar- agua.
