TWO MEDFORD MAIL Til IB
Majors Start Play Today
Without Big-Name Stars
New York, April 17 (U.R)
Most of the "stars" are gone
from Major League baseball's
banner, but It wilt be hoisted
nonetheless proudly today for
the opening of the fourth straight
war-time season.
The "stars" are away playing
a greater and grimmer game
and the kids, the 4-F's and the
oldsters left to carry on won't
produce a brand of Major League
baseball to compare with hap
pier peace-time years.
; But It will be baseball Just the
same, even with the "stars on
service floes instead of on the
diamond. Thousands of fans still
will make their annual trek to
the parks for the official start
of the great American pasiime.
Never before has baseball
been at such a low ebb for man
power, yet paradoxically never
before were hopes any higher
for a successful season.
The Majors open their season
with the mandate of the late
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
to carry on. It Is no secret that
the executives of the game wou'd
have called It "quits" for the
duration without his provisional
"green light."
The renewal today will be the
69th for the National League,
which beean ooerat!ons In Wti
and the 44th for the American
which has been going since 1901
Close races were forecast for
both circuits. The two St. Louis
clubs, whose ofi-season man
power losses were less serious
than elsewhere, are expected to
repeat for the resoectlve cham
pionships, but neither can af
ford to falter.
