Wartime Baseball Wanted By Public In Esquire Poll President Roosevelt's recent letter to Judge K. M. Landii, giving baseball the green light during the war evidently re flected the thoughts ot his coun trymen, for the monthly sports poll In the current Esquire dis closes that 91.18 percent of the people of the United States want the national pastime to carry on despite the conflict. The all-baseball poll showed remarkable consistency of opin ion among all the various blocs polled on the 15 different ques tions. For example, the ques tion of whether to continue baseball found the public 82.10 In favor, the sportcasters 86.22 in favor, the sports editors 94.69 In favor, the major leaguers 98.34 In favor and the soldiers of Jefferson Barracks 88.19 In favor. To the question, "Who Is your choice as baseball's greatest manager?", aged Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics walked off with 48.7S percent of the total votes, followed In order by John McGraw and Joe McCarthy. Babe Ruth was voted as feeing of "greater all-around : value to his club" than Joe DiMagglo in 56.41 percent of the ballots. Said Birdie Ten betts, Detroit catcher, "Babe Ruth was of greater value to the pastime, but none could be of greater value to a team than Joe." By a total vote of 84.45 per cent, the balloters believed that "playing Softball handicaps young player's chances of be coming big leaguer," and 86.92 per cent of the polices voted "no" to the question: "Does the home team have to win for you to retain your in terest in baseball?" A "yes" vote was given by 87.84 per cent of those polled on the question: "Do you be lieve that Inside cliques wreck the morale and effectiveness of YOU'LL DISCOVER Old Drum is smoothor going down 'cause ... it's vat-blended just like 90 of the expensive imported WHISKIES Old Drum BRAND UMIEIOEO FOR EI1RA SMOOTHIES!

And to the question: "Would you rate a team of sluggers superior to a team with superb pitching and fielding?", the answer was 71.81 per cent "no." "Will the playing skill of baseball players be greatly im paired after their return from war service?" 1 resulted In a "yes" vote of 61.72 percent. The Jefferson Barracks soldiers, to this question, voted 53.88 per cent that time In the services would impair a ball player's ability. Recalling the Mickey Owen blunder in the last world ser ies, a "no" vote of 69.91 per cent was given the question: "Do you favor abolition of the rule which permits the batter to run on a dropped third strike with first base unoccupied?" The "bean ball" came in for a blast when 85.63 per cent of the voters went on record as favoring more dras tic penalties for Its use, and 3.97 per cent were of the opinion that broadcasting baseball games has not affect ed the attendance detrimen tally. A total of 72.04 per cent voted that coaching and training of players In baseball is as expert as that of college football play ers, and 69.88 per cent voted that It was fair for a star player to be marooned on a tail-end club. A football coach has his trou bles, but so do the baseball managers believed 76.20 per cent of the voters in writing "yes" to the Question: "Dn vnu believe that a baseball manager nas as many tribulations as a college football coach?" To the query: "Do spring training trips need to be as lnnv mey are in order to grt the piayers into condition?", the an swer was 88.01 "yes." However the sports editors and players greea tney were not necessary Ring Events Sat for Smoker in Gold Gym On Friday Night Gold Hill.

New Orleans, March 18. (AP) "The trainer's little boy," the gangling kid who used to carry the water bucket,' Is head coach of the Tulane Green Wave. Claude "Little Monk" Simons, Jr., last night was named boss man of Tulane football culmi nating a career that started as mascot ot that team and included a period as one of the greatest athletes ever to wear the olive and blue. He will succeed Lowell "Red1 Dawson, who resigned Saturday to become an assistant coach at Minnesota, where he was an aide to Bernie Bierman before taking over here In 1938. Simons has been on the staff since 1938, for two years as assistant freshman coach and two as varsity back field coach. Father 'Is Trainer When "Little Monk" takes charge it probably will be the first time that a major college iootoaii team has ever had a father-and son combination with the son as head coach and the father as trainer. Big Monk" who is about two-thirds the size of his 28-year- old, six-foot-plus, 220-pound son has been a coach and or train er at Tulane since 1919. He brought "Little Monk" in romp ers to watch the team practice and play, and the youngster has been around ever since except for three years as athletic di rector and football coach at Transylvania college Just after 1938.

(AP) The rubber crisis has boosted the retrieving of golf balls from water hazards Into the realm of a big business which today received official recognition from the Professional Golfers' association. Fred Corcoran, tournament manager for the PGA, entered an agreement with three men who have retrieved as many as 73,000 lost balls in a single day. Their salvage operations in water holes on golf links aver ages them about 500,000 balls a year. They use a diver's helmet fed by a gasoline-driven air pump, and, if the pickings are good, move In a dredge that lifts balls by the hundreds from their hid ing places. They estimate that some golf courses have as many as 1,000,000 lost balls In water holes today, and any number have up to 500,000. "That's not potatoes," said Cor coran. "That may mean the con tinuation of golf as recreation for many hundreds of people who otherwise would have to quit. Retrieved balls can be used for practice or for shots where a good ball might be lost, and the new ones saved for real play." The PGA tournament director entered an agreement with the three J. C. Rainey and Paul Thill ot Miami, and Rainey's son-in-law, R. E. Mills of California to work with local club profes sionals throughout the country on one of three plans: The club to receive a percentage of the re trieved balls, receive a flat sum for the concession, or employ the retrieving crew and take all the balls recovered.
