que pilot who is making his head
quarters here between visits to
USO camps in the area.
Cronin admitted that the review
of 4-F's undoubtedly will mean still
further losses of players rot only
to his own team but to all major
league squads.
But some of the players have
milk legs or other nand.caps which
will make them hardly fit for any
kind Of service" he added. BE
tween the average, under-age, dis
charged and rejected players I
think We'll have enough to do
with"
The new ruling that American

the prospect of more following
their footsteps.
The plants and service centers
have their own teams, and pretty
fair teams, too. with so many good
pro players available. It's only nat
ural they'd welcome organized
competition, and a chance to play
for something besides victory in
individual games.
Dumont gives them the organi

it's not bad guess that better
baseball might be shown in the
national event at Wichita this year
than in the major leagues. if any.
