Spinning The Sports
By WHITNEY MARTIN
NEW YORK, Feb. 24-(Wide
World)-A note : to everybody
hero: -.
Private Joe Smith,
Foxhole,
Somewhere on BaUaa,
Dear Joe:
We've been hearing all about
you fellows over there, and the
way you are winning events in
those mechanized Olympics fair
ly makes us pop our vest buttons
In pride. You've won everything
but the backward race, and I
know you aren't entered in that.
It just occurred to me that you
might like to know what's been
going on back here in the sports
world, as I know the newspaper
carrier service probably isn't so
good there, and anyway, you
haven't had much time to do any
reading, what with the Japs ready
to crawl all over you like beetles
every time you try to catch a
cat-nap. Japanese beetles, eh, Joe?
Anyway, the weather here
well, it's February, Joe, and yon
know what that means in New
York. The baseball clubs have
, gone to their camp, and we're
I ' getting pictures and stories
, along the same old line, and

Nobody seems to know just
what to expect of the baseball
races, although everybody is pick

have a bunch of old men and are
going to be tough again, as not
many of them will be joining you
fellows right away. You knew
about Hank Greenberg and Hugh
Mulcahy, of course. Bobby Feller
is not .in, too, which means the
Indians aren't in. Aren't in the
first division, that is.
Joe Louis had another fight
Against Baddy Baer, and It
lasted about as long as a sneez
ing spell. No need tell yon who
won. Joe Is private Joe now,
and Is making Just as good a
soldier as he is a champion. He
risked his title for nothing,
which shows what kind tt a
guy he Is.
There's another dark-skinned
fighter around who is going great
guns. Name is Ray Robinson,
nicknamed Sugar. He just won
his 117th straight fight, including
his 28th as a pro. He's sort of a
light welterweight, and hell be
a champion one of these days.
We've had some fine track

Oregon Farm
Labor Plan
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-(ff)-An
army of rookie harvest hands
school boys and girls, women and
business men may be recruited
to help gather the nation's war
time crops this year.
That possibility arose Tuesday
at an 11 -state conference of farm
placement experts confronted
with what one conferee called "a
definite farm labor shortage' in
1942, when the United States
needs its maximum harvest to as
sist in feeding the anti-axis al
lies.
The "Oregon plan" and the
Goodhue (Minn.) plan" were
discussed as capable of wide
spread adoption.
In Oreg-on school children
from the seventh grade up have
been registered this year for
possible work In the fields and
there has also been a house-to-house
canvass throughout the
state of every available work
er. Officials of that state be
lieve that with this emergency
labor supply the Oregon har
vest can be brought In without
the customary migratory forces.
In Goodhue, Minn., a village of
480, business men of the town,
high school students and house
wives voluntarily registered to do
farm work if needed.
Fay W. Hunter of Washing
ton, chief of the US employment
service's farm placement sec
tion, declared a farm labor
shortage was unavoidable but
"no one. In my judgment, knows
exactly how great it will be,
Just how many of the average
of 11,500,080 farm workers will
not be available this year."
He said the problem must be
solved on a state-by-state basis
because of varying and rapidly
changing conditions. Employers
of farm labor, he added, may have
to take family men when they
want single men; negroes when
they customarily hire white men;
women and children instead of
male, adults.

state board of control at a meet
ing here Wednesday. i
This is the first definite step In
the program to air-condition a
large part of the state capitol
building under a $55,000 appro
priation of the 1941 legislature.
Roy E. Mills, board secretary,
reported that any further im
provement of the ventilating
conditions at this time would
require a large amount of sheet
iron and other materials which
are new subject to government
priorities. He said Washington
advices indicated that it would
not be possible for the state to
obtain these priorities under ex
isting regulations.
Board members were agreed
that in changing the heat control
valves fuel consumption would be
reduced materially. Flans for the
initial improvements will be com
pleted as quickly as possible.
Warden George Alexander of
the state penitentiary informed
the board that the population- at
the institution had been reduced
from the peak of 1117 in August,
1939, to 969. Approximately 100
former inmates of the prison are
now employed in the Portland
shipyards, he said.
The board authorized the pur
chase of approximately 40,000 gal
lons of lubricating oils and
greases with the Standard Oil
company receiving the bulk of the
contract.
Approval also was given a re
quest of the state board of health
for additional space in the Ore
gon building in Portland, in or
der to safeguard its vital records
and speed up the issuance of birth
certificates which are now in
great demand.
The new space includes a vault
with a total rental of $600 a
month.
