Baseball Can Garry On

BEAR MOUNTAIN, N. Y, Jan.
26.--Major league baseball Can lose
all It's AIS approximately 280) and
still continue this season, in the
opinion Of Branch Hickey, president
of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who ex-
pressed confidence that rosters could
be filled with ."underage, overage
and discharged players"
hickey spoke to baseball writer's
attending the Dodger tour to Bear
Mountain to inspect the. spring
training grounds here and the field
house at the United States Military
Academy at nearby West Point.
Even So" said Hickey, Il do not
believe all the 4-Fs in baseball will
be taken. At any rate, I'm con-
yinced we should continue unless
the Government tells us not to. And
I don't think the Government is
trying to end baseball by indirect
methods when they could do 80 by
direct methods.
Our job is to play baseball as long
as we can. Whatever reasons there
ever have been for baseball, those
reasons still exist, even though the
armed forces continue to take play
ers. Therefore, the loss of players
to the armed forces has nothing to
do with it or else our reasons have
not been real"
Hickey revealed that Luis Olmo,
Puerto Rican outfielder, and Pitch
er Ben Chapman had been classi-
fed Ia since last October and that
