BOWLING ALLEYS
HIT BY CURFEW

WASHINGTON. Feb. "a. -(P}-
The possibility of bowling alleys
in industrial centers remaining
open after midnight apparently was
knocked out today by an announce
ment of how the entertainment cur
few will be eforced.
The War Manpower Commission,
instructing regional directors on
enforcement of the II O clock clcs-
ing order Monday. said there will
be only two exceptions: entertain
ment for military personnel and
certain restaurants.
Bowling officials said yesterday
that industries in war production
centers had pointed out the value
of after-midnight leagues for late
shift workers in holding down alb
senteeism.
The Government had been asked
to consider this factor, but today S
enforcement policy specifically
covers bowling, billiard and pool
establishment.
Sports arenas also come under
the curfeW order but baseball, box
ing, hockey, basketball and such
events will not be seriously affect
ed since they usually end before
midnight.

will decide wheather the MAJOR
Leagues will be left with enough
nlavers to operate in l945.
Although optimistic, William
Harridge and Ford Frick, presl-
dents of the American and Nation
al Leagues, respectively, made 1t
plain that nothing concrete re-
suited from their conference with
War Mobilization Director James
F. Byrnes this week. Harrldge and
Prick were named to represent
baseball in discussions with adj
ministration officials. .
He (Byrnes) maintained it was
impossible for intelligent discus
sion of the manpower situation I'M
til the work-or- legislation has
been finally determined by Con-
gress.' Harridge said at Chicago
II quite agree with him."
Harridge added that Byrnes hae
invited him and Frick Ito return
after action on the bill if we wish
ed to discuss the matter with him.
While Harridge did not say
definitely, he i n d j c t e d tina
Byrnes' invitation will be accepted
In New York, Frick admitted
that another visit to Washington
might be good policy
But there is no appointment,
he added. 1T might be that We
would make another trip after thu
work or-else legislation is actet
upon one way or another in Con
gress. Byrnes told us that hi
door was always open and that hi
would be glad to see us"
Next to finding out how the legis
lation will affect baseball man
power, the most immediate concerl
of baseball men is to remove thu
stigma placed upon At athletes b.
Washington. Without AIS, the maj
ors could not hope to operate ant
many athletes iii that group have
signified their intentions of remain
ing on farms or in war plants be
cause of blasts against them b.
Byrnes and other administration
officials.
Baseball men were hopeful tina
once Congress completes action OF
the manpower legislation, tn
status of AIS will be clarified 81
the athletes in that group need no
fear public or official censure.
The increased pace by which
AIS are being re-examined ant
found fit for military service ha
baseball men worried. In addition
many other players who held othe
classifications have been PLACED
in Ia and either are awaiting call
for examinations or inductions. II
the past 10 days alone, 20 player
on the roster of major league club
have been accepted for service O.
have had their cases sent to Wash
ington for review. At that rate :.
diminishing manpower, the major
would not be able to last out
fourth wartime season.
