San Francisco, Jan. 24 U')
Sports .broadcasts, baseball in
particular, are so popular with
troops overseas that during world
series time the boys would have
paid $10 a seat just for the privi
lege of hearing the broadcasts.
Maj. J. Carter Hermann, chief of
the shortwave section of the
armed forces radio service said
here today, . .. .. .......
. Just back "from "the European
area Hermann said it was his
belief that baseball broadcasts
overseas should be continued if at
all possible without hurting the
war effort.
"Sports in general, and base
baall in particular, are doing the
greatest thing in their history in
supplying troops with listening
entertainment," the major said.
News Is Favored
He explained that in the front
line sectors, news broadcasts
come first.
"After all," he said, "that's the
thing that decides when the hoys
get to come home but sports
come second, over all other types
of entertainment, includ i n g
music."
At world series time Hermann
said he had seen thousands gather
around a radio to listen to the
broadcasts.
"And those boys would have
paid $10 a seat just for the privll
ege of listening. The morale boost
was so great that you can t pos
sibly believe it unless you saw
it, ho said.

Bend Works Out
In Abbot Gym
Returnins to the court after a
day's layoff to rest from their
long road trip intb south-central
Oregon, the Lava Bears last night
began to drill for. their coming
series with The, Dalles Indians
this week end, at the Wasco coun
ty seat.
The Indians, coached by Al Cox,
former Monmouth Normal head
nian, had recorded a nine-game
winning streak before Ihey were
toppled by Hood River last week
em! in an overtime contest.
Teams AlMtut Kven
On the basis of, comparative
scores the Hears and Indians
should be rated about even. One
factor certain- to enter into con
sideration, however, is the size of
The Dalles floor. Boasting a stan
dard 50 by 90 foot court The
Dalles has one of the better prep
school gyms in1 the state. The
local lads, however, will have a
better chance than in the past to
overcome the switch from their
own crackerbox to the Indians
big floor. Through the courtesy
ot army officials the big Camp
Abbot gym was placed at their
disposal for practice and their
first workout was held there last
night. Although the gym is un
heated and without lights the
Boars were able to have a fine
workout by natural light and they
wore heavy sweat clothes to off
set the effect of the cold.

Plane Fabric
Philadelphia Uli Air condition
ing is playing an important role
in the production of training
planes at the U. S. naval aircraft
factory here, and has increased
production by 3!5 per cent.
The equipment, designed by en
gineers of the York Com. in York,
Pa., is installed in two rooms
where fabric for aircraft is condi
tioned, and for the first time this
work can go uninterrupted 24
hours a day. seven days a week.
whereas formerly the rooms had-
to ne snut down when the humid
ity was too high or too low.
Previously in the fabrication
room, where the canvas is stretch
ed over the frame of aircraft, a
sudden change in humidity caused
the stretched fabric to sag and
necessitated recovering the whole
plane. In the dope room, hu
midity changes caused minute
cracks in the varnish and the
planes had to be re painted, re
ducing the speed of the aircraft
by 16 miles an hour. The only
alternative was to replace the
whole covering.
The air-conditioned rooms are
now kept at an even temperature
of 80 degrees with a relative hu
midity of t2 degrees, eliminating
the former difficulties and per
mitting uninterrupted work.

(tTnilott i'rem Sta'f CotTotponilent)
New York, Jan. 24 The
wartime sports situation attained
new heights of confusion today,
due to the following hodgepodge
of fact, report and humor:
(1) President Ford Flick of the
National league disclosed that ma
jor league club owners will de
cide at their New York meeting,
Feb. 3, whether they will be able
to open the 1945 season, under
existing conditions.
(2) A well-informed Washing
ton source tipped us that Col.
Larry MacPhail may be appoint
ed national sports co-ordinator on
Feb. 10, when lie obtains inactive
army status, although he does not
want the job. .
t3) A certain New York racke
teer is willing to bet even money
that racing will be resumed in
non-critical labor areas before
summer. He says his inside info is
"straight from the fcedbox."
(4) A person who is closely ac
q u a I n t e d with both President
Roosevelt and James F. Byrnes,
director or war mobilization, in
sists that these two gentlemen de
sire professional sports to con
tinue for the duration; but that
both are dead set against partici
pation by able-bodied athletes who
have been masquerading as 4-F's
and medical dischargees through
the laxity or sports-enthusiasm
of examining physicians.
Frick's disclosure about the
opening-or-elosing decision to be
made at the Feb. 3 meeting accen
tuates the gravity of the major
league situation. It was their first
Intimution from any baseball offi
cial that the owners might find it
necessary to throw in the sponge
in advance of the season.
The National league prexy made
this disclosure when questioned
by reporters about his Monday
conferences at Washington with
neads or various war agencies, to
whom he had gone seeking "fac
tual information." He will turn
this Information over to the own
ers' meeting on Feb. 3. he said,
and let them decide whether to
open. Frick would not hint at the
nature of his information.
Meanwhile, Col. Larry Mac
Phail, In New York last night, de
nied published reports that he had
been given an army discharge. He
explained that he had requested
an inactive status so that he could
"clear up some personal business
affaire in Michigan." These af
fairs are pressing, he said, because
of the death a month ago of his
brother, H. W. MacPhail, with
whom Larry was a partner In an
Investment house, in Grand Ra
pids, Mich. His request for in
active status has been granted,
effective Feb. 10, he explained,
although he will still be in the
army and subject to call at any
time. Asked about possibilities of
his becoming sports co-ordinator,
he said, "I wouldn't want the job;
because it would tie me up for at
least a coupie ot years."
However,, our Washington
source says that War Mobilization
Director Byrnes is considering
seriously requesting the war de
partment to assign MacPhail to
the mobilization office on Feb. 10,
so that Byrnes can appoint him
co-ordinator to act as liaison offi
cer between sports and the war
effort, .
