Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH, UTAH He Wanted to Eat, Too OUR COMIC SECTION Released by Western Newspaper Union. IN A THE opinion of Clark Griffith, president of the Washington Senators, baseball is faced with a rather dreary 1943 season and the outlook for his own club is considerably less than bright. Griffith knows that the situation is serious but fully expects that the national game will escape wartime extinction. The problems of this war are tougher than they were in 1918. The constant drain of manpower is unparalleled. The transportation situation will have baseball magnates talking to themselves. But the Soldiers at Camp Edwards, Mass., were lined up and ready to march to the mess hall for breakfast. Suddenly Private Thomas F. Miller broke ranks and dashed for the barracks. When he returned the sergeant wanted an explanation, for good soldiers just dont do those things. The explanation was accepted Private Miller had forgotten his teeth! o Refining Companys Junking Job A Philadelphia refining company recently junked old and idle equipment and obsolete plants, netting about 1,000 tons of steel for the scrap metal campaign or enough to provide all the steel needed in manufacture of 50 Flying silve- the Senary-haired president tors believes that baseball has a fighting chance to play out the comof ing season. In 1942 President Roosevelt wrote to Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, giving baseball .the green light for that par- ticular season. Griffith has indicated that a similar letter will not be forthcoming in 1943, and that baseball will have to rise or fall on its own merits. A short time ago Griffith was campaigning for a shorter baseball season. He finally called off his crusade with the explanation that Im not saying Im against it. Im just saying that Im not pressing for it any more. If the others want a shorter season Ill vote for it. s o Visit Navy Recruiting Stations in Salt Lake City - Provo - Ogden -Logan - Cedar City - Boise, Ida. Sheridan, Wyo. - Las Vegas, Nev.

Probably he remembered the widely-use- d picture of U. S. boys in the South Pacific, clustered around a radio listening to the M E B O D World Series. Griffiths own team has fared badly in recent years, and the 1943 season promises nothing in the way of improvement. The Senators have lost Sid Hudson, Walter Masterson, Bruce Campbell and AI Evans since Ossie the close of last season. Bluege was appointed manager, succeeding Bucky Harris. No manager with the exception of the Phils pilots of recent years has faced gloomier prospects. With the few good players they had lost to the armed services, the Washington club is one of the weakest in major league history. Even Griffith, to whom the admission of defeat is unthinkable, admits that This is the worst team Ive ever had. Perhaps thats why Griff wanted a minimum of 60 night games next year. We had 21 night games last year, he said, and every one of them drew good crowds.

Light General Manager Warren Giles of the Cincinnati Reds thinks there is a double solution to major league baseballs wartime manpower problem-livelier baseballs and a higher player limit. Increasing the player limit, he pointed out, would give a club more reserve strength when the club loses men to the service, and the livelier ball would help the veterans who have difficulty beating out a hit.
