return and pick up their baseball
careers practically where they
left off maybe we should quit
worrying about any deterioratlng
effect of service in the armed
forces on our athletes.
The abrupt return to normalcy
Of the major league players after
their discharges is to us one OF
the most gratifying developments
Of recent weeks.
practically everyone, yours
very truly included, long had
speculated on the effect of serv-
ice on the ball players, and most
of the speculation was done with
dark glasses. That is, the outlook
for players away from the game
for two Or three years seemed
rather bleak.
For one thing, it seemed they
would lose the agility necessary
for the game. They would lose
their batting eyes, and pitchers
would find their arms ruSted be-
yond repair. All told, they would
lose that beautiful sense of
rhythm and balance which dis
tinguishes a good major Lacquer
from other ball players.
The athletes themselves have
demonstrated how wrong the
guessers can be. Ruffing and
Bridges, at an age when most ball
players are through if they never
had been farther away from a ball
field than the clubhouse, came
back to win their first starts.

Cleveland Indians, is reported to

before, and that's practically get
