Wot a Yankee
Ball Club-Now
In the Service
By WHITNEY MARTIN
NEW YORK, March 25 -)
Hodge-podge: Here's why the New
York Yankees may do well to fin
ish before Christmas in the Amer
ican league race: If their players
in the service all were in one out
fit! the team would be made up
of Jo Dl Maggio, Charley Keller.
Tommy Henrich in the outfield,
wun Twins; Selkirk in reserve;
Bill Johnson, Phil Rizzuto, Joe
Gordon and Buddy Hassett or
Johnny Strum in the infield; Bill
Dickey and . Ken Silvestri - behind
the bat, and Red Ruffing, Marius
Busso and Spurgeon Chandler as
thai nucleus for a pitching staff.
That team would be a Yankee
Doodle Dandy.
. Five hundred tons of balata are
to be released, and may be used
for golf ball covers. The catch is
that there still isn't anything to
cover except the -old balls the
golfers ' should, send in for re
treading. It's just a case of a hen
laying egg shells with nothing In
them, Tho golf ball shortage real
ly Is as serious as announced, and
unless the players cooperate by
giving up their battered ones they
may be playing with walnuts be
fore the summer is over.
Manager Mel Ott is planning to
use Ace Adams as a starting pitch
er oa bis Giants this year, leaving
the rest of the mound staff with
out visible means of support.
Adams appeared in 70 games last
year for a new record.
