In League Fielding
with

Did you see in the papers or hear
over the radio about the proposal
to divide the two major leagues
into eastern and western divisions?
Although it is doubtful if many
of us will have an opportunity to
watch first hand how this works
out providing, of course, they do
follow through—it is rather inter
esting to contemplate how it will
confuse the habitual baseball fan.
First, here's the set up, as pro
pounded to Transportation Czar
Joseph B. Eastman by a Philadel
phia newspaper. (Ed. Note: Who
I cares whether the Phutile Phillies
and Connie Maca’s White Elephants
travel anyway') The East League
would consist of New York, Brook
lyn. Philadelphia and Boston of the
Nationals and New York, Philadel
phia, Boston and Washington of
the American.
The West League—Chicago, St.
Louis, Cleveland and Detroit of i
the American league and Chicago, |
St. Louis, Cincinnati and Pitts
burgh of the National.
All straight so far? All right,
let’s go on from there. As vaguely
hinted at before, this would mean
that the two Philadelphia teams
would be playing each other. That’s
a pretty sad picture to contem
plate both from the spectator and
box office point of view. When one
of those teams plays a visitor in
bis own back yard the number of
people who stay away is amazing.
When they play each other ushers. .
ticket takers and hot dog vendors
should be allowed to install jute
boxes and a well equipped library
to keep them from passing out in
sheer lonliness.
Them Brooklyn Bums
And now to Brooklyn, hooray.
The glorious bums from Flatbush
could, would and should have the
time of their irrepressible young
lives taking on the New York
Giants for three days and then
moving over to the Yankee stadium
OSC Meets Bruno's at
fur three more days of fun and may

And up in Beantown? There, my
friends, will really be something.
Imagine if you can, the office boy
taking the afternoon off to attend
I grandmother's funeral and ending
I
against up at the ball park to witness the
January Braves and Red Sox going through
a titanic death struggle? It would
serve the office boy right for tell
ing a fib.
Boy, 1 can hardly wait until my
38th birthday, so I can get back to
see some of that intramural ac
tivity.

Volleyball On! Upsets
In 96th Initial Games
Semi-Final Contests Tonight;
Field House Finals Tomorrow
Two terrific upsets featured the
opening double-header of the 96th
Division’s championship single
elimination volleyball series which
opened Monday night in the Field
House.
In the first game, a spirited
team representing Company I,
383rd Infantry Bn. bowed before
the superior footwork of the 96th
Signal company. Scores were 15-13
in the initial setup of the best two
out of three elimination contest.
Then the dot-and-dash boys
turned right around and gave the
foot soldiers another trouncing in
the second round. The score stood
15-4 when the final whistle blew.
Battery A, 362nd F.A. showed
lots of power and expert coordina
tion in the evening’s second con
test. For the first few minutes of
the game, the 601st Q.M. Bn. look
ed as if they might have had what
it takes but eventually ended up
' on the short end with Battery A
’way out front with a decisive mar
gin of 15-6.
In the second game, the Quar
termasters showed up a little bet
ter by scoring 8 points to Battery
i A’s 15.
Finals Tomorrow-
Remaining semi-final games are
I on tap tonight, while finalists will
I meet tomorrow at 9 pjn., at Field
' House. It ought to be worth the
I time of any sports-minded soldier
to turn out and see the deciding of
the division championship.
At that time a fine loving cup,
to be appropriately engraved, will
be presented to the winner.
