DIAL 2123 Company SUIS Sg75 Baseball World Eyes Outcome Of Frick-Hershey Conference By Jack Cuddy . United Press Correspondent New York, Jan. 23 (U.R) While the bewildered baseball world speculated today on pos sible developments at the Frick Hershey conference, George M Weiss, manager of New York Yankee farm operations, assert, ed that neither the major leagues nor upper-classification minors could carry on if forced to depend entirely upon teen-age players. A similar opinion of the teen agers may have been given by Ford Frick, president of the Na tional league, to MaJ. Cen. Lewis B. Hershey, selective service di rector, during their conference at Washington yesterday. Frick who, since the death of Commissioner Landls, seems to have become a long-needed spokesman for baseball re quested the Hershey conference. thereby deviating from the sport's stupidly passive policy of asking no wartime questions of Washington brass hats. Frick GETS MEDAL FOR PACIFIC SERVICE Somewhere In the Netherlands East Indies S'Sgt. Thorris V. Jackson, son of Mrs. M. L. Jack son, Box 1715, Amarillo, Texas, and husband of Mrs. Flora D. Jackson, Route 4, Box 48, Med ford, Oregon, was recently awarded the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious service on the Admiralty Islands. Sgt. Jackson Is chief of the drafting section. 031st Engineer Construction Group (Avn.) A native of Amarillo. Jackson attended Amarillo College and the Mead School of Arts before entering Into his chosen field of photography. Working In and around Amarillo for private con cerns, he finally joined the Unit ed States engineering department in that section. Just prior to en tering the army, the experienced photographer completed photo graphic histories on important army projects near Medford, Oregon, Including Camp Abbot. Camp. White, and the Redmond and Madras airdromes. The sergeant entered the army July 6, 1043, but army life was hardly new to him, for he had seen previous service in the CMTC, held a lleut. colonel's rank In ROTC at Amarillo high school, and served as a sergeant in the 142nd infantry regiment of the National Guard. Arriving overseas late in Feb ruary, 1844 Jackson accompa nied an advance party Into the Admiralty Islands, where he was In charge of the office engineer ing, maps, and plans connected with the construction of the stra tegically important airdromes there. In hazardous territory and working through an almost impenetrate jungle, the army engineers completed their work tw weeks ahead of schedule, and bombe.'s were able to begin their "softening up" missions on Salpan, Guam and Palau at a much earlier date than had pre viously beim anticipated. Sgt. Jackson's part in the operation did not go unrecognized, for his many sleepless nights spent pre paring plans for the next day's work, and nls ability to maintain a high degree of efficiency under trying conditions was rewarded when he was honored by being presented with the Bronze Star Medal. Following the Admiralties campaign, Jackson accompanied his organization to New Guinea end "ie Netherlands East Indies v. '.ere they have continued their work on airdromes. S'SRt. Johnson Is authorized to wear the good conduct rib bon, bronze star medal, and three battle stars on his Pacific-Asiatic ribbon. Sgt. and Mrs. Jackson came to Medford in February of 1942 and remained here until Decem ber of that year when the ser geant was transferred to Bend. Mrs. Jackson returned here In April of last year and after be ing eiiioloyed at Camp White fo. a time Is now a secretary In the office of the Crater Lake Na tional Park headquarters. Mrs. Jackson states that her husband has left the Admiralty Islands and that she believes htm to be In the Philippines.

Bartlett Phone 2419 apparently wants the manpower muddle clarified before the major leaguj meetings in New York February 3. Despite President Roosevelt's recent, befogged "green light,' organized baseball was confront ed today with possibilities of de pending entirely upon players under 18 or of closing the parks. While this alternative was not definite, it was indirectly threat ened by the war department's recent crack-down on 4-F ath letes and medical dischargees, and by impending legislation de signed to shift able-bodied male civilians, between 18 and 45, from non-essential jobs Into war plants. Officials of the American Le gion junior baseball program co operated with the major leagues' advisory council last week in making the Legion's youthful talent available for professional ball.
