BY WHITNEY MARTIN
NEW YORK, Jan.- lMVPete Reiser, the Brooklyn Dodgers'
brittle and brilliant centerfielder," now' has been called to the
colors, and if this steady stream of players into the service con-J
tinues the major league clubs wall feel rather silly visiting the
army camps - vo lei ue . souuers
see some major league ball. :
w-k a
reisers uiuut-p
won u just wue -;
more v indication -
that only a dope
would try to
dope the major
league . races at
this time. Inthe
past, even in-l
eluding last
var. i Tnncz 5 Tans
at this time of wki"jr
year bad a pretty fair idea of
which clubs could be rated con
tenders and which were only pretenders.
But there is no way of telling
the sharps from the fiats now,
with .every lineup so full of holes
it looks like a tray of doughnuts.
Even the Yankees, with a peren
nial victory itch, will have to do
lot of scratching to get together
even a working model of a major
league team. I
. Getting back to the subject of
, exhibtion games, it's no Joke
that before the Mason is ever
there may be more major
leaguers in the army than there
, are In the major leagues, and
that if these service stars were
concentrated they would make
a lot of duration major leaguers
take tthe bushes.
But naturally they won't be
concentrated. They'll be scatter
ed in all branches of the service
and in all corners of the world.
so the boys in the camps might
appreciate a chance to watch the
current major league clubs per
form. We recall that the first time
we ever saw a major league
club in action was when we
. were alternately toasting and
freezing at Camp Cody, Deni
zing NM, in the first World war.
the temperature, down there
changed so fast you felt like a
hot fudge sundae.
. Anyway, some major league
club we believe it was the White
Sox or Cubs stopped off for an
exhibition game with a camp
team, and it was quite an occasion
for the boys. Everyone who wasn't
on KP or walking a post or in the
brig was on hand to gaze goggle-
eyed at the great stars whom most
of the soldiers never had seen.
It was quite a treat, and it
would be no less of a treat today
when there is not the antagonism
on the part of enlisted men to
ward draftees and civilians such
as ball players that existed in the
last war. :-.- , , -v...
We haven't checked up to see
how close the major clubs have
pitched their transplanted train
ing camp to army camps, but
we nope that in most cases an
effort has been made to locate
them as close to an assembly of
service men as possible, al
though we doubt that the clubs,
even considered that angle.
The major clubs were too darn
ed busy trying to get any place
which had hotel accommodations
and suitable indoor and outdoor
practice ranges to bother about
such trifles as the location of the
camp in relation to the soldiers.
And considering- the difficulties
involved in arranging camp sites
on such short notice they can't
be blamed much for looking out
for .their own business first. '
: Anyway, we note with satisfac
tion that all the clubs are plan
ning exhibition games at the
camps, although, as previously re
marked, the duration major
leaguers won't awe the soldiers
too much. When you're . bunking
with a major league star you don't
. 'get too eydtee by the presence of

For Special Front Action
"' WASHINCrroN-P)-AIrcrart "tailoring shops' are readying
America's combat planes for action on far-flung . battlefronta
without slowing down mass-production assembly lines. , . .
Known officialls as "modification centers," and until recent
ly a closely guarded military sec
ret, they I are .located on direct
routes . between aircraft factories

Telling of . the work of these
centers, the office of war Infor

1 An example of the work done:

The centers jservice both army
and navy planes.' The planes, used
by Brig. Gen.

In the raid on Tokyo last April
were equipped for their mission at
the centers. So were the Ameri
can bombers which raided the Ru
manian oil fields last spring. Mod
ified fighters and. bombers blast
ed the Japanese at Midway.
IThe British I used modification
centers before this country did.
In the early part of the war, some
American-made planes were mod
itled before the RAF used them
in the ' European theatre. Out
moded American pursuit planes,
when adapted for desert war
fare, proved highly effective as
strafing and light bombing planes.
X The "tailoring shops" gave Jap
anese fliers one of their greatest
surprises. Early Flying Fortresses
