Tulsa was a 8 to 8 underdog

New Schedule Drawn to
Abide by ODT Wishes
Eastman Heartily O.K.'s
By Tommy Devlne
United Press Correspondent
Chicago. Jan. 1 U.R Major
league baseball's first 140 game
schedule since 1910 may be
adopted here Tuesday when the
American and National leagues
meet in a special Joint session
called by Commissioner Kene
saw M. Landis.
Landis summoned the club
owners to meet here upon his re
turn from Washington where he
conferred with Defense Trans
portation Joseph B. Eastman.
The commissioner submitted a
plan for curtailing baseball
travel and Eastman gave mi
"hearty approval" to the sug
gestions.
The key point of the Landis
proposal was believed to be a
140 game schedule to replace the
184 game card which has been
in vogue since 1920. The short
ened schedule would permit set
ting back the opening date two
weeks and enable the clubs to
train near at home without ser
iously hampering their condition
ing.
April 24 Opening
A 140 game schedule has been
drawn up for submission to the
magnates. If they adopt it the
season likely would open on Sat
urday, April 24, instead of April
13 as now scheduled.
William Harridge, president of
the American league, pointed
out the late Saturday opening
would give half the clubs in each
league the same number of
weekend dates at home at they
now have under the 154 game
schedule and would take away
from the others only one such
weekend.
The American league It known
to favor a delayed opening, but
the National league hat stead
fastly maintained that the season
should open as scheduled. If they
fail to agree on the matter at the
Joint meeting, Landlt would cast
the deciding vote.
The government'! "work or
fight" edict in 1918 caused the
major league season that year to
be terminated on Sept. 1 after
approximately 123 contests. The
following season a 140 game
schedule formally was adopted,
but after a one-year test it was
abandoned.

New Year Sports Start Is
Heartening to
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York. Jan. 1. (IJ.PJ The dawn of a new year finds sports
breaking from the barrier with a
bowl games. It is a heartening start in mese war days, regard
less of what the future may hold for our athletic competitions.
Twelve months ago the patrl-1
arch of all post-season classics,
the Rose Bowl fixture, had to
be transferred from Pasadena,
Calif., at Durham, N. C, for
security reasons. Likewise the
east-west Shrine game was shift
ed from San Francisco to New
Orleans.
But today's Une-up of game
sites Is back on a pre-war basis.
However, the war has a minor
bearing on the contests in that
sale of tickets to the various
games has been restricted as
much as possible to purchasers
living in the immediate areas of
the games to cooperate in the
transportation situation.
This may be the last "bowl
day" of the war, but we doubt
It. We predict now that we'll
have our bowl games next New
Year's. They may be played on
a modified scale among standout
"neighborhood" elevens to elim
inate the necessity of long hauls
for intersectional clashes. But
we're confident that, the bowl
games will be staged.
There are two major reasons
for this confidence: (1) The re
assuring statements of service
officials at Thursday's national
collegiate athletic association
meeting in New York indicated
that all branches of the armed
services favor the continuance
of competitive college sports In
1943, and (2) government offi
cials unquestionably realize the
value of these classics not only
in contributing to civilian mo
rale at home but also for propa
ganda purposes in proving to
the enemy axis that mighty
America still is taking this war
in stride.

Bartenders Refuse to Serve
Donko With Beer Any More
By Robert Chandler
United Press Staff Correspondent
Globe, Aril. U.R) Donko't tippling hat been seriously curtail
edpossibly for all time. .,..,,
The notorious beer-drinking Mountain Canary of thlt Arizona
mining town fell off the wagon recently, but no longer will the
be able to pose for movies in her favorite act taking a bottle of
beer in her teeth, hoisting It in the air and swallowing the contents
without the loss of a single drop.
So many people bought beer
for her she soon became a famil
iar sight as the staggered un

ample of the effects of over
indulgence.
Then, much to the amazement
of all, Donko went on the
wagon.
Donko Hat a Colt
Shortly afterward, a burro
colt wat born to Donko, tired by
an unknown admirer, and the
shaggy tippler still stayed on the
wagon, leading to the name of
"Surprise" being given to the
colt.
The call of the saloon was
stronger than the maternal in
stinct, however, and Donko fell
off the wagon with a resounding
crash and returned once again to
frequent "Joe's" and other old
haunts.
Once more the unsteady fig
ure of the long-eared drunkard
became a familiar sight as she
wandered the streets of town,
successfully "mooching" drinks
from one and all especially
camera-fan tourists.
This time little Surprise took
a hand In the proceedings, altho
to no avail. The colt wandered
the streets with her mother,
braying the burro version of
naoiner, dear Mother, come
home with me now." The liquor
namt was too strong, however.
and the tippling Donko paid no
attention to the cries of her
infant.
War brought a curtailment to
Donko's imbibing, but she artill
oDtained enough beer to get
thoroughly "high" when the
least excuse was presented.
But the other day the final
blow dropped on Donko's heart
although she didn't know It at
the time. The Gila county board

petition signed by 79 residents
of a Globe suburb, refused to

Fruit and Vegetable
Container Saving Is
Urged by WPB Office
Portland (Spl.V Fruit and
vegetable growers and shippers
were urged today by the con
tainers division, WPB, to accu
mulate immediately a stockpile
of second-hand wood boxes,
crates, barrels and hampers for
use in shipment of their 1943
crops.
At the same time, the division
appealed to retailers and other
merchants to sell such empty
containers at a nominal price
either to second-hand container
dealers or to the growers them
selves rather than turn 'the con
tainers Into channels where they
will be destroyed.
By following this advice.
growers, shippers and retailers
not only will help relieve an ex
pected heavy demand for new
food containers, but also ease
the strain on manpower and
transportation during the 1943
harvest season.
In order to conserve suoolles
for such purposes, the containers
division recommended that all
types of second-hand wood con
tainers be salvaged by e-rowere
and shippers, even though it may
mave Deen customary in the past
in some localities or for some
crops to use only one type of
container.
