Manpower Problem Appear
To Be Solving Itself
By JOE REICHLER
NEW YORK. March 15 (Pi-
Major league baseball's greatest
propicm, manpower, appeared to
be solving itself today as big
league spring training camp
squads are being augmented by
new arrivals, including many
regulars of last year's teams.
Club owners and managers,
openly concerned over the un
willingness of some players to
leave their winter lobs to re
turn to baseball, were greatly
encouraged by announcement
yesterday of several of the
game's outstanding stars that
mey intended to play ball this
year.
Ken Kcltner, who left a war
job a year ago to play with
Cleveland, has again quit his
winter job to rcioin the Indians.
"Baseball is my business. If the
army wants me, it will find me
working at it," the heavy-hitting
third baseman was quoted as
saying a year ago. Pitcher Jim
Bagby, teammate of Keltner,
will also join the squad today,
having resigned his job at a war
plant.
Among other players who an
nounccd yesterday they would
join their teams were Don Gut-
leridge of the St. Louis Browns;
Pete Fox, Red Barrett and Rex
Cecil of the Boston Red Sox;
Thornton Lee, Vince Castino,
Dan Reynolds and Joe Orengo of
the Chicago White Sox; Andy
Pafko and Roy Hughes of the
Chicago Cubs and George ell
of the Philadelphia Athletics,

The Leathernecks from the

although the count was knotted
at 21 to 21 at half time.
Sailor Cook held high scor
ing honors for the fray with 14
points and Cox potted 10 for
the Leathernecks. Saturday
night a return engagement will

' Pete Gray Gets Big Chance
xne one-armed wonder of baseball. Pete Gray. 1 irnlti'nt, hi
chance at last in the big time with the St. Louis Brownies, Amer
ican league champions last year. . .
i-'ele is a rookie in the big show at the aee of 28. and Charles
DeWitt, club secretary, said yesterday that the
Brownies bought Gray because of his record in , ... .
tne minors. His best years were with the
Memphis Chicks and indicated that Pete, at
long last, was ready for the majors.
DeWitt also stated that Pete will or will not
break into- the Brownies' lineup solely on his
ability as a ball player, and not as a possible
sideshow attraction.
We have uttered a fervent prayer that Pete
will make the grade and crash into -the big
lcagups with a resounding bang. If ever a man
was deserving of the big show, it's the. one
armed guy who kept plugging along, despite a
terrific physical handicap, until he broke down
the door to the ultimate goal of every ball
player in the country the major leagues!
DeWitt said, "He on trial as a ballplayer, it Manager Luke
Sewell decides he's good enough we'll-keep him, if not, he will
be sent to our Toledo farm where he can continue to develop.
Pete understands that and has assured us he would want it no
other way.
It is fairly obvious that a guy like Fete would be satisfied
with nothing else t. an to stand or fall on his own merit. But
rise or fall, he's still Pete Gray, a game guy who had what it
takes to scale the ladder of success with the odds heavy against
him.
Marble Cook Resigns As KUHS Coach
With the resignation of Marble Cookr as football and basket
ball mentor and physical education instructor at Klamath Union
high school, an opening is necessarily created in the coachine
field.
We have no idea who will replace Marble in the post, but
we do feel that he deserves a send-off worthy of a mighty nice
guy. We assume the reasons for his resignation were, perhaps,
personality- clashes and a different point of view on coaching
meinoas. we are nere neitner to condone or condemn, however,
but merely to give the situation as we see it. ' (
During the past football and basketball season, Marble's teams
did not set the conference on fire, but they fared pretty well,
nevertheless. His Pelican grid eleven broke even for the season
and the Klamath cagers wound up the basketball season in sec
ond place in the conference.
HJ introduced a new type of football formation here with
the "T" that was not too well received by Klamath fans, who
were inclined to favor straight power football instead of the
We felt at the time, and still feel, that the "T" was the best
formation possible to use, considering the fact that- the team-was-

But that is all water under the bridge now and we would.

Rassling Card Set For Friday "
To round out the crunch card Friday night at the armory.
Tough Tony Ross will tangle with Gloomy Gust Johnson in the
opener. Jfele Belcastro meets Jack Kiser in the semi-windup and
the main event,- of course, features the savage "Grey Mask" and
Georges Dusette, the sacroiliac separator from Canada.
Promoter Mack Lillard announced today that a huge crowd.
probably the largest of the year, is expected to be on hand when
the two musclers collide. This is easily understandable
Dusette has proved to be very popular here and has not dropped
a bout so far in the Klamath arena. .
Mr. Stoneface is always a drawing-card with the fans, who
live in hope of seeing one of the bleep boys whip him soundly,
thus forcing him to unveil. Klamath mat addicts-may see just
that Friday night as uusette will exert every effort to flop the
hooded hoodlum. - '
Georges specializes in a full-Nelson that causes his opponents
to throw in the towel, while Mr. .Stoneface wilL fall back on his
vicious head butts to attain his end.
With two top bouts supporting the headline tussle', there
should be more than -enough action for each and every fan, come
Friday eve.
Mock Never Doubted
Boll Would Continue
By JOHN F. CHANDLER
FREDERICK, Md.r March 15
(IV) Baseball is all set for anoth
er year and in the mind of Con
nie Mack, 82-year-old manager
of the Philadelphia Athletics
and dean of the diamond world,
there was never any doubt about
it. .-. ..."
"I've never thought anything
else than that we would start the
season and finish it," Mack said
as he led his A's through his
first day in training camp the
second time in his 45-year mana
gerial career that he hadn't been
in camp on opening day.
Mack said he thought "those
two discussions President Roose
velt had in the last few days
with Clark Griffith and news
papermen abou night baseball
and the wartime'future of the
sport hasn't done the game any
harm."
The successor to the late Kcn-nesaw-
Mountain Landis as base
ball commissioner "should in
my opinion," Mack said, "be an
outsider, never before connected
with baseball," as Landis was
when he'was appointed after tho
1011) Black Sox scandal.
. "However,",, the venerable
Philadelphia manager added,
"whoever the major league com-

mittee recommends, the chances
are the owners will accept him.
I think we have a good commis
sion to select the man."
Conceding that the champion
St. Louis Browns would be the
team to beat for the American
league pennant, Mack says he be
lieves his A's will be a "fighting
first division" club.
How about the Detroit Tigers,
who finished a game back of the
Brownies for the flag last year?
"The Tigers lost a great player
when Dick Wakefield went back
into the service, and Pinky Hig
gins (also gone) drove in a lot
of runs, torj." Those losses,
Mack thought, hurt Detroit.
As for the New York Yankees,
third last year. Mack said with
emphasis, "We don't get nervous
any more when we hear their
names." He hastened to add that
you can't underestimate them
and with Larry MacPhail at the
head, anything can happen.
