(Terry) McGovern, famed local hockey figure, will enter the service again in less than three weeks. He'll be 49 years old in November but on September 14 Terry will leave for Poughkeepsie, N. for training in the Maritime Service. McGovern has been given a petty officer's rating as a stationary engineer the occupation he's followed in one of the downtown office buildings here for about the past decade. He'll receive two month's training at Poughkeepsie and then two more months down in the engine room of a ship at sea before entering active service as a ship's engineer.

In Battle of Ypres Terry joined the Princess Pats, a picked regiment of the Canadian army, in the last war and he saw plenty of action in France and Belgium. The regiment had to be composed of men who were nearly perfect physically and they were then given only two months' of intensive training before being rushed into action. The outstanding battle of his army career was at Ypres where the soldiers actually lived with thousands of rats, released from the punctured sewers of the devastated Belgian town. McGovern was wounded in the shoulder in February, 1916; in the foot, in October, 1916; and in the thigh, in September, 1918. It was when he received his second injury that he was left for boundless variety.

Through the whole emergency, and sometimes gainst the counsels of selfishness, Commissioner Landis taken the attitude that baseball is an added starter a the general scheme of things, and that its first duty to help the war effort. It is for this reason that the big league realm, espe-jv, has not only been tolerated by civilian and soldier, actually encouraged to continue. While it is true that baseball, like every other business, no alternative but to give complete co-operation, it is notable that baseball has declined to employ any de-3 whatever in trying to get the best of it. This stems from Commissioner Landis' attitude, md runs down through the owners and the players. ,10 War Department That soldiers abroad would resent civilian baseball "ere in their professional role is a question for both the "iball leaders and the War Department to consider.

The -ir probably, is in the best position to call, this one. From the reception given radio entertainers and movie who volunteered their professional services in camp it would appear that baseball has nothing to fear on 2 score. The imprimatur of the War Department on all plans wild help in this phase and it isn't likely that the War Department would sponsor any entertainment, baseball otherwise, that the soldiers would disapprove. Within its own family, the baseball men must move 'rtiously, too, for the leaders have no power whatever in ring the players to go on the trip, and although the rswouid look askance at players who found it neces-Tto reject the proposition, at thesame time, they would Virant to cast any aspersions on any such for the general jare of the garner Chances are there would be few players who would uss up such a chance to contribute in this way, quite jyond the adventures and experiences such a trip nonld offer. i to Soldier-Players Commissioner Landis safd yesterday that the proposed 2 to include ball players now in the service on the junket not be recommended by the baseball leaders.

He -ted out that baseball men have no jurisdiction over play's in the service and what they are to do or not to do is the military arm. On the side of soldier reaction, this is another interest- Would the fighters abroad think that fellow soldiers in the baseball ranks, were getting a feather-bed assignment? That is another one for the war department to ponder. Chances are that the fighters abroad, given the fhance to see big league baseball, would not be disturbed by such considerations, but would be more interested in mnz favorites in action on the diamond. Regardless of the details, the pleasant fact is that the irfball leaders are fully aware of their opportunity and a stain obligation, and in time will lay it on the line for the uarv men to accept or reject. Friends of baseball, and there are many of them the military service, are pleased to note the officials of the national game, are not merely awaiting suggestions but are volunteering to do whatever the war department thinks the soldiers would like baseball to do.

Wn.g'jt Lost Opportunity In contrast to the baseball effort, was the abortive plan the boxing men to stage a Louis-Conn fight. Handled -efullv, this one could have been staged in the same air tolerance that marks the world series. Mishandled as it was, for whatever reasons, soldier and ian are being deprived of a chance to see, read and hear -ut such a natural event. The chief regret among boxing's friends is not particularized in the chance taken away from Louis and Conn, but rather that boxing's greatest attractions were not bent to the purposes of soldier entertainment to the end that boxing would gain in public esteem. How much would the A.
