Bartlett Phone 141 All-Stars Advised to Play "Blood and Thunder" Ball' ' By Jack Cuddy (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Sept. 18. (U.R) Branch Rickey cautions: "Don't let this all-star trip to the Pacific war theater become a good will tour or a holiday for merry-making Dan players Rickey of the Dodgers, orig inal sponsor of the major league expedition abroad, urges that the brass hats of the major cir cuits pitch in and make the inter-league competition for troops abroad a "blood and thunder affair." Now that the War Dept. has approved the sending of two all- star major league teams to me Pacific theater, the president of the Dodger? felt free to speak bit piece and he spoke It, "I hone that the men In charge of the all-star trip win not xor set that these players are being sent abroad to entertain the United States troops not to kindle good will among the in habitants ot Australia, New Zea land nor any other island," he said. "Any good will that may re sult must be purely incidental, because these players are being sent over to bring major lesgue baseball to boys who probably haven't seen topflight play for two years or more. It's a Job to be done for our own troops." In this connection. Rickey ad vises that officials handling the expedition slate the lnter-league games only at points where the greatest number of service men can see them.- He explains, "it might be dramatic to take the teams right up to the front right up to the fox holes; but such a venture would be silly because only about one In 10 men at the front could take time out to watch them even If they did clay." Rickey emphasises that the all-star teams mutt understand that they're going to the Pacific to play "blood and thunder" baseball" that they're not go ing on lengthy vacation. For .that reason, Branch proposes mar me major leagues oner some suitable reward in tro phy form to the squad that wlnt the Pacific series. "Per haps medals of some sort for the winners," he says, "and nothing for the losers."
