WAR DEPT.
Joltln' Joe DiMaggio, base
ball's No. 1 holdout and 1940 s
highest salaried player, is ada
mant. J. Joseph is S40.UUU
ytarth ot adamant.
And Ed Barrow is equally
unbending. The gap is some
3000 seeds or somewhere in
1he neighborhood of eight per
cent of J. Joseph's 1940 wage
which was, disregarding Uncle
Sam. the missus and J. Jos- :
eph Jr., exactly $37,000.
J. J., Sr., recently broke
open his lean, poker-faced jaw
to tell Judson Bailey of the AP
that he thinks he deserves a
raise on the basis of the record.
The record shows that J. J. hit
safely in 86 consecutive con
tests last season for a new major
league mark, hit 30 homers, led
the loop in runs batted in with
125 and was named the most
valuable player in the American
league.
" "Did I get a bonus for my
batting streak?" asks Joseph.
"Hah, I did not. I didn't even
get a pat on the back. No
body even said thank you."
! J. J. has written to Mr. Bar
row who has written to J. J. The
substance of J. J.'s message is
obvious. Mr. Barrow's dealt
with war conditions and otner
things, , but not a raise.
'., Joltin' J. is therefore on
spot what with war condi
tions and other things. A lot
'of guys earning $21 each and
every month are figuring that
nobody has the right to be ar
guing over the kink of money
when they don't even have to
face Bob Feller. ,
; But J. J. is figuring that Ed
ward Barrow and the front of
fice probably took in consider
ably, over $3000 last season
when Gus and Gussia Phan
poured out to the park to watch
Joseph extend his batting streak.
Inasmuch as Joe did the work,
leaving Edward with nothing
more to do than count the dough,
Joe figures he has something
coming. . .
To Gus and Gussie the situ
ation is, when compared to
other situations, confusing. It
would seem that all of us
. should sacrifice something but
if J. Joseph does the' sacrific
ing what then is Edward Bar
row giving up?
'Certainly baseball is not look
ing forward to a lean year. On
the strength of President Roose
velt' message urging more
night games and more baseball
"for the nation's morale" and on
increased pay envelopes among
defense-workers, baseball gen
erally, again disregarding Uncle
Sam's taxes, is due for a boom
eason.
From here, it looks very much
ljke E. Barrow is giving up noth
ing more than the ready with
which to buy defense bonds
which pay a stated rate of Inter
. est . .'
" Then, too, J. Joseph may
fcav in mind those guys who
, are demanding and getting
-r-their time and one-half for
overtime and double time for
holidays, while the $21 per
month guys aren't even get
ting enough time for sleep.

Honkers Close
Best Cage Year
In History
LAKEVIEW The Lakeview
high school basketball team has
brought to a close the most suc
cessful season in the history of
the school.
Burns high was defeated four
times, while Bend, Cedarville,
and Redmond were the victims
of two game series. Two games
were lost to Klamath high and
the series was split with Red
mond. Alturas high school, which is
Lakeview's most important ri
val, was defeated this season for
the first time in eight years. The
Modocs were trimmed by a score
of 37-19. '
Fifteen boys participated in
the 17-game schedule. Seven
seniors will be lost to the squad
this coming year but the high
quality of the remaining Honk
ers is such that another victorious
team is expected next season.
NEW YORK Best grade
baseball shoe has skyrocketed to
$18.50 a pair. Some players use
as many as five pair a season.
Sox batting leader, made a last
Show All
while, was able to capture just
a pair, both over Redmond.
Among the leaders, Klamath
Falls was nicked once by Prine
ville for its only licking. The
Cowboys dropped one to the
Pelicans and another to Lake
view to wind up in second.
Lakeview's Honkers were beat
en twice by the Pelicans and
once by Prineville.

Those wishing to donate glass

to the Naval Observatory, Wash

It is not practicable to stock

During the World war I citi
zens donated 51,217 pairs and
31,000 were accepted.
The navy-is not authorized to
accept gifts, so binoculars ac
cepted will be purchased for $1.
If they are extant at the conclu
sion of hostilities, the navy will
return them. The fee will con
stitute rental or a depreciation
charge.
Lakeview Hi
Sees Strong
Track Team
LAKEVIEW Lakeview high
is expecting a very strong track
team this season. The Honker
squad of 1941 defeated Klamath
high and other larger schools
and this year's team appears on
paper to Be stronger than ever.
Dan Barry, who has run the
mile the past three years at the
state meet, will be making his
final bid for the mile champion-
snip. Barry served as captain
ot this year's basketball team,
Maurice Drenkel, who played
center this year on the basket
ball squad, is in shape for track
for the first time. His discus
throws of last year were among
the best in the state but injuries
kept him from competing. He is
also a high jumper.
Jimmy Howard, who as a
freshman ran the 440 last year
at the state meet, looks faster
than ever at his favorito event
"Buck" Melvin Kidd will have
one more chance at the state
broadjumping championship. He
was one of the top qualifiers
last year for the state meet but
an injury forced him to with
draw from the championship
finals.'
