Billy Hulen Says:
. 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

many ball clubs? 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

swer was 88.01 "yes." However

Claude Simons Succeeds
Red Dawson Carried
Water For Green Wave.
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.

Golf Licks Rubber Shortage
By Ball Salvage From Water
By E. V. W. Jones
Miami, Fla., March 18. (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.

For years they have known the test of fire, flood
