EIGHT ADRIAN DAILY TELEGRAM, ADRIAN, DECEMBER 11, 1942 Branch Rickey Sees Players Lost To War Industry Believes Government Wants Came Continued, With Men Otherwise Idle REISER IS ARMY BOUND NEW YORK, Dec. 11 that baseball players who have taken jobs in war plants this winter will all be back with their clubs next spring was expressed today by Branch Rickey, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Discussing baseball's place in the war effort at a press confer- ence Rickey Branch Rickey the government wants to see the sport continued, but I think we must do it with men the government doesn't who would be idle otherwise. "A very radical thing has been done in the last ten days. The government now can tell people where to work and where not to work." "As for its concern with baseball personnel, I don't see it now as a problem of calls by the army, navy, but the problem of shifting men from non-essential to essential industry.

"I know a number of ball players have taken up various kinds of other work this winter. Some of their jobs may be of great importance to the war effort and others may not But it is conceivable that many of those now working will be held in essential industry. We'll just have to get along with what we have." Rickey disclosed that one Dodgers' brightest stars has just about crossed the threshold of the Pete Reiser the flashy young centerfield, took his physical examination last week and was re-classified 1-A. His draft board in Brooklyn said he probably would be inducted about January 1. He married last spring but previously had been classified 3-A for helping support his family.

Camilli On Fence How many others of last year's team may be called to the colors or may need to stay at their off- season tasks, no one could say. Rickey said he had heard nothing more from Dolph Camilli, the veteran first baseman who has declared he would give up baseball to stay on his ranch next year. However, Rickey said if Camilli had not changed his mind when spring training time arrived, he himself would go to California to try to persuade him to play ball. The reappointment of Fred Fitzsimmons as a pitcher-coach and the establishment of a working agreement with New Orleans in the Southern Association also were announced.

Last fall when the matter first came up he led the successful battle against coaches and directors who would have abol- the restriction then and there, -risler has insisted that freshmen tiave too much work to do in classes to handle two big jobs at once and while Crisler was expressing his views in Chicago this week, the various Michigan coaches sack in Ann Arbor were wishing torn God-speed. The Wolverine crop of first year men is the poorest in many seasons. Bill Combs, Wolverine wrestling captain in 1940, is writing some lurid descriptions of his experiences as a. Marine.

In letters to friends, written from a California hospital bed, Combs tells of seeing every man in his company except five or six shot down in one skirmish in the Solomons. "Those Japs loisted a flag of surrender and we went out to meet them. Our company was slaughtered 30 seconds later by machine guns." Combs was offered a chance to become an officer, but he refused. "Those guys who died were my pals," he explained. "They saved my life more than once.

Our relationship was more than casual. There's lothing I want to do now except kill Japs, Japs, and more Japs." Paul White is the fourth consecutive back to be named Michigan football captain. But some line-man, like Al Wistert, usually wins the "most valuable" recognition The Michigan swimming team seems headed for trouble this season, particularly if Ohio State a chance to use that freshman talent The Wolverines still have the best back-stroker in collegiate circles, however, in Sophomore Harry Holliday Michigan's alumni dined and entertained the AP's All-State eleven, but the inside information is that most of the high school gridders are planning to go to college elsewhere. DID YOU SAY 55? MIAMI, Dec. E.

Dunton, 55, holds the world's record for rope-skipping and he's keeping in shape to meet any challengers. Dunton set the record a few years ago at Birmingham by jump' ing over the rope 8,630 times in'one hour, shattering the old record of 7,518 skips held by Pete Shuster of Martinsburg, W. Va. He keeps in shape by jumping rope 1,000 times each' week day. Then he turns to speed bag-punching, using seven different movements for a total punches.

After this he runs 70 laps on the Y. M. C. A. track, equalling two and one-half miles, finishes his workout by exercises, and then cools off by swimming several lengths of the pool.

The chief reasons for suspension of the now appears (1) the fact that playing material next fall is going to be a lot scarcer than it was in was bad enough, the coaches tell (2) the fact that the loop's moguls don't need a crystal ball to figure out fans aren't going to force anyone to hang out the S.R.O. sign next fail, what with a lot of players gone to war, plus the extra difficulties of transportation. This is not to say that the circuit's ten club-owners are going to announce any decision to suspend at their important meeting in Washington Monday, even though Danny Reeves, the Cleveland club owner, has indicated he'd be all for that.

FREITAS, Santa Clara HARDER, Wisconsin the magnates are split up about 50-50 over playing next season. Considerable Investments Some of the anti-suspension drum-beaters want to operate just to avoid any possible competition from "wildcat -promoters." One or two others, with considerable, investments, don't want to leave their money idle. One has $225,000 lied up in his club, and didn't do too well at the gate this season. Another has "sunk" $100,000 into his team.

However, there's considerably more than an outside chance that the loop's championship playoff in Washington Sunday, between the Bears the revenge-seeking Redskins, may be the last game for the duration. According to a couple of men close to the league, the magnates will probably all see the light next spring. And one fine day when the buds are popping and the hunting season is over, they'll admit "C'est La Guerre" and wrap it up until the war ends.

Ned Day Just Edges Out Challenger Crimmins CHICAGO, Dec. 11 Buddy Bomar, the Houston, bowling wizard who has rolled 25 perfect games in his spectacular career, was the favorite today to win the National match game championship of Chicago's All-Star tournament. After a 30-game grind through an elimination field of 100, Bomar emerged last night with a 6328 average of 210.93. The slender Texan headed a list of 12 competitors wto today will enter round robin matches totaling 72 games with the champion being determined Sunday. Included in the final field are Ned Day of West Allis, National match bowling champion since 1938, and Johnny Crimmins of Detroit, who challenged him in a special 90-game marathon and and nearly beat him with a terrific rally.

Crimmins Stages Rally Day won on 399.49 points to 398.28 (one point being allowed for each game and one for each 50 pins scored). Crimmins, starting off the final five game block with eight straight strikes for a 269, highest game of the special match, carried Day down to the last frames of the final game before Day finished with a 203 to 178 for Crimmins. Crimmins would have won on the pin basis rather than point system, as he had an average of 196.39 to Day's 196.09. The 27-year-old Bomar, who has been bowling for a dozen years, Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1752, was followed by Sept.

JOSEPH'S 22-11 Irish Gain Second Win Of Season Although Playing Without Smith CAREY IS HIGH SCORER After a first period scare furnished by the St. Joseph's Dutchmen, the Irish of SU Mary's found their stride to win handily 22 to 11 in a Little Six basketball contest played last night in the high school gymnasium. In the early minutes of the game, St. Joseph's forged to the front with a 5 to 0 lead on field goals by Dick- Van Zandt and Joe Kirsch and a free throw by Kaiser. But the Irish came roaring back in the second period to score 12 points while the Dutchmen chalked up only two.

In the second half, neither team did much scoring but St. Mary's managed to do most of what was done. The victory gave the Irishmen two Bob Carey, talented St. Mary's center, led the scoring with seven points followed closely by teammates Leo Drake and Bob Dougherty, a freshman, who started for the first time, with six points each. Dick Van Zandt's four points were tops for the Dutchmen.

Shift Lineup Str Mary's was handicapped by the loss of Leland Smith, hardworking forward, who was found to be ineligible shortly before game time. John Garno was shifted to a forward spot and Dougherty drew the starting guard assignment vacate by Garno. Although showing improvement last St. Joseph's never was a threat after that first quarter. The game was of the early season variety with neither team able to sink stiots with any regularity.
