♦ Although the Oregon spring is
apparently somewhere just around
a circular corner and about the
same distance ahead of us it was a
month ago, the potentially
sports program on the Post
remains unfledged.
As announced two weeks
though, great things are a-borning.
Post softball leagues with both
military and civilian personnel lay­
ing lusty plans, are scheduled soon
to get underway. Even the lasses
plan a league and, photographical­
ly at least, this should he very
nice. The 70th division plans to go
heavily into both hard and softball.
Whatever the sports situation
on our Post, it cannot compare with
major league baseball. The Ameri­
can league circuit is due to blos­
som on April 18 with its first
game- at Chicago, Detroit. Wash­
ington and Boston, whilst the
steady old National league starts
off at New Yoik, Philadelphia, Cin­
cinnati and St. Louis.
It all begins in a spavined con­
dition never before considered pos­
sible. It must be the war. Never­
theless, there are a surprising lot
of 4-b’s around with enough spark
li ft to give presentable ball. Cros­
