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

PACIFIC SERVICE
Somewhere In the Netherlands

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

around Amarillo for private con
cerns, he finally joined the Unit

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.

ing, maps, and plans connected

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.

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

operated with the major leagues'
