They were gentlemanly, j quiet end courteous group of players.

"Morry", as the entire team called Don Morrison, was the hero of the hour and both managers paid a line tribute for the manner in which he has- cooperated during the training season. Don represented the Mayor and city council as a contact man and he did a fine job. * * The management of the Court Inn, Arthur Slude, and Desk Manager, Craves, declared the hotel had enjoyed the stay of the Leaf brigade. Gueats at the hotel have only words of praise for the gentlemanly manners of the players. ? * The best of luck to a grand gang of ball players during the present season is the sincere wish of every Camden fan. * * We admit to a feeling of regret that the public did not turn out In greater numbers for the home games. The Toronto club is a better team than was the Syracuse Chiefs, and that is saying a great deal. It was a far better team than Harrisburg. It had for the roster listed thirteen players who have been in the big time. * * * Well Leafs, and that includes an old friend of many years, Burleigh Grimes and his lovely wife, here's luck and best wishes. Bring home the pennant. * The Camden ball park was brought to a high state of efficiency for the Leafs. Now that they have gone, let's keep the park in fine shape. We are glad to know there will be several teams in Camden using it. Arthur Robinson, who was chief umpire for Burleigh Grimes during the stay of the Toronto team here, has launched a team, the first game being played last Saturday against a Spartanburg outfit. The high school is cavorting around the area this week and for weeks to come, and then comes the Legion program. Let's get out and support these teams. r- ?? | ROSES aad THORNS 4 ^ Aw shucks! We have about decided to cut out trying to be facetious. Our kidding.remark about the little white house being turned ^ver to a newly wed couple was actually taken seriously by some of our friends. * * Gosh folks, no one knows the value of the little white house as a contact point for public cooperation in all defense and civic activities, better than we do. in fact, when the house was built', we passed the orchids to the parties responsible for the idea. As for the police booth, frankly we regard it as one of the best investments the police department has made in many years. It has served as an information booth, as a telephone booth, and as a shelter. It has como in for some fine complimentary remarks from visitors. Roses to officer Beckham E. Russell for some nice traffic regulation enforcement on DeKalb street Friday. Beck routed several long trucks from the angle parking area.

Use only as dl Columbia Reds In Sorry Exhibition The Toronto Maple Leafs took full advantage of six Columbia errors and seven buses on bulls and some sand., lot past lining to defeat the Columbia 11 teds here lust Thursday afternoon 12 to & la an exhibition game. White the Columbia team bad a slight margiu over the Lea la 1? hitting^ their defensive exhibit Ion wus the sorriest seen in the local park this spring. Columbia ut\ed three pttchers, Tuylor. Carter and McDunlel. Mc Dan lei was the only one of the trio to offer any kind of a showing, hut this may haVe been due to the fnet that the last three innings found the Leafs letting down In their offensive boeaurfo of the tremendous lead they already had over the visitors. The game wus the poorest exhibition seen during the spring training program of the Leafs, not because of the lack of skill or power on the part of the Canadians, but due to the sandlot exhibition of the invaders. inasmuch as the Sully Leaguers have had but a few days of training, it is perhaps unfair to pass any judgment on their play la the Thursday fracas. Some of the funs who saw the game between these same teams Wednesday at Columbia declared lb? lteds looked far better than they did In the return engagement. Iti the Canulen encounter Toronto scored llrst in the second frame. Mack and Gregory drew walks, engineered a double steal, and scored on two slow Infield rollers. Columbia came charging back in the third with a three-run splurge. Toronto staged a rout in the last of the third when four runs clattered over the rubber. The entire team batted around in this Inning and again In the fourth when four more runs were listed. The fifth Inning was almost a repetition of the third and fourth?Toronto scoring three times. Columbia's final two runs came in the sixth lulling, and, but for a lightening double-play, the visitors would have added one or more runs. Batteries: Toronto?Conger and Williams; Columbia?Taylor, Carter, McDanlel and Settle, O'Neill.

Speed, speed and more speed is the constant objective; and always speed with quality, for a jerry-built ship is virtually useless in the grim tasks of maritime war. The first Liberty ship which recently discharged supplies at a Red Sea port was built in a yard that was virtually nonexistent a year ago. A tanker was delivered in 100 days from laying of keel. A battleship will be delivered 14 months ahead " of schedule. Cargo ships are being built in less than one-half the time required in tne nrst woria war. v^oiuparuuic spccumg up ?< been achieved on other types of ships and the schedule is being constantly stepped-up. Expanding old yards, building new ones, tripling employment in a year's time, training thousands of new men, putting every effective facility to use, adopting pre-assembly and mass production methods?all these spell tonnage and more tonnage, a steadily-mounting output of ships from Bethlehem yards. All hands are doirfg their utmost for Victory, working to achieve the maximum for the U. S. Navy and the U. S. Maritime Commission, so that the "bridge of ships" shall be maintained and steadily enlarged.
