HARRIDCE VISIONS
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
FOR Big LEAGUES
American League Presi-
dent Says Competition Is
Baseball's Foundation

CHICAGO, April 14-CP'-Base-
ball this vice.. will open season
which will rank as one OF the
most notable in the history OF the
game.
For the very opening of a fourth
consecutive wartime campaign
stands as a remarkable tribute to
the fans of our national sport,
both at home and abroad. 1t is
because of their steadfast interest
and loyalty that the game will
open its 1945 season, meet as best
it can the many problems which
will arise, and, I am confident,
again put on a worthy show.
At this time, the American
League has almost 26G of its play
ers in the armed services. Others
will join the Colors in the months
to come. Since Pearl Harbor, most
of the games greatest stars have
left the playing field, yet interest
in the sport remains as great as
ever.
The American League season of
1914, when attendance showed a
remarkable increase over the prev
ious year, proved competition still
is the foundation of baseball and
that there is no substitute for a
close, hard-fought pennant race. l
have every reason to believe that
we will have an equally close fight
for the pennant in 1915.
During the past three seasons,
several million servicemen and
women enjoyed baseball as the
guests of the 16 major league clubs,
and well over a million will watch
our games this summer.
At the present time, hundreds of
thousands of our fighters in all
parts of the world are seeing the
American Leagues motion picture
of the 1914 world series. Reports
from overseas show that the broad
casting of scores and details OF
the pennant battles has forged a
real link between home ands the
many far-flung bases of our Sol
diers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen
the world over.
Baseball hopes to hold that link
again in 1915, for the constant
interest and support of our nation
al game by its fighting fans
have been a maior factor in the
games continuance.

The American Association - it's

44th season Wednesday amid pre-
dictions of wide open race for
the league title.
Last year Milwaukee copied the
pennant by seven-game margin
over second place Toledo, the
Brewers disposed of flock of their
stars and the dope from the spring
training camps has indicated Tole-
do and Louisville, in particular,
are in a position to make a rugged
contest of Milwaukee's bid for a
third straight pennant.

ITALIAN Graphing Card
Will Feature -Four Gals

Well, it looks as though Pro-
moter Causey has finally hit the
proverbial Jackpot.
Next weeks ITALIAN Hall bouts
will feature four females in the
ring at the same time.
When those four get together in
a tag team match Friday night,
they definitely won't be talking
about new hats or playing bridge.
Rather than that it will probably
be a matter of seeing whose hair
can stand the most pulling, whose
bones can stand the most bending
and whose shoulders will be pin
ned to the mat first.
In short, Mr.. Causey has gone
plumb off the well beaten path and
billed out a bout to end bouts. In
one corner will be Violet Valen-
tine, Mobile, Alabama's wrestling
pride, and Ann Miller, the pretty
little Miss from Baltimore, who
failed to unveil the mysterious
Miss Red last Friday night. Lo-
cal fans have come to like Miss
Miller. and most think that 1.-THE
Lady in Red" should have been

Opposing Misses Miller and
Valentine will be the trough and
