Qaani ilka iMfVDXliali News from the south reports the death of Freddie Lanifero, the "Lashin JLanny" of 1941 Salem Senators fame,' said killed in action in the south Pacific Another of our former diamond pals who , are going down swinging nowadays. Lanny was by far the best second ' sacker to wear the Senator livery during the three years the club operated here, and you can take it from one who saw perform nearly every keystone man in the circuit's history he was second to none. The likeable bowlegged Italian with the Eddie Cantor eyes and sharp tongue had not a single enemy in the entire league the year he played here, and from the way he slammed the offerings .of opposing pitchers and cut off almost certain base hits with his sparkling infield play one would ' . have thought he had nothing but ill - feeling toward him by the op . posing teams. But they, like his I own teammates, respected him for ' ; what he was a good ballplay ; er . , . Lanny would have un- doubtedly been the No. 1 second- sacker for San Diego of the Coast circuit In 1942 were it not for the ' I war. On option from the Padres, J he was called back to that club at the close of the '41 campaign : in which he had batted and field- ; ed so well. The bowlegged speedster from Rhode Island, who com .' pared with the best for his ability to pivot on the middle sack and - fire for first on a double play, was drafted into the army shortly after , being called back to San Diego'. . .

' Good-bye Pro Baseball, Now i What the old draft has thus far failed to do kill professional ' baseball the new draft, that of herding 4Fs into war labor battalions, same now a congressional Issue, will no doubt succeed. Pessimism? t. Sure, and what is there left to be optimistic about?
