Down here when we think of the sport, we think In numbers of six club leagues, or If we live In Columbia we think of several leagues. Up at the Great Lakes Naval Academy near the Wisconsin, Illinois, state line, there are over 2,000 teams. "Great Gosh"?you say. 80 do I. m My old home town baseballers are now leading the American association. Yes sir-e-e-e the Hrews are on the top. Charley Grimm is doing a swell Job as manager. * * * ? And those Chicago White Sox, after a lousy start, are in second place in the American league, a few rounds below the Yanks. Nice work, Jimmy Dykes. Down Broad Street Wo,faintly remember a political campaign during which there was much talk about "a chicken in every pot." Well, the time has come. It took a war to bring his campaign slogan to reality but apparently it is here. With chickens on the unrationed list and red stamps running short toward the end of the week it's a safe bet that nowadays there is a chicken In every pot at least once a week. The two cars in every garage slogan that accompanied the one quoted still ap* pears far off but If gas rationing becomes more stringent there may soon be one car in every garage and in some Instances two cars. That's what we wanted, once upon a time, isn't It? Our nomination for "the most misunderstood man of the week," goes to the iceman, dripping with sweat, who held up his tongs threateningly and said: "I'll hit the next guy who tells me I've gob a nice cool job." A good many otherwise estimable citizens stitl seem to be laboring under the impression that rationing and oher wartime restrictions are just a sort of game of oops and robbers which it is smart to beat. One of these days somebody Is going to wake up and expose the socalled farm-bloc and discover that it doesn't represent the working farmer at all and that It Is led by men who haven't done a day's work, on the farm, for years and years. After a lot of people have used more gasoline than they should have, they are surprised that there could be a shortage of It. Argentina is losing prestige and position by her attitude. And?the Axis is on the skids. After a painful scarcity in northern parts, there is again an abundance of potatoes for the restaurant steak to be under. 9 m 9 9 Der Fuehrer's cities, like that famous "patience" of his, are rapidly becoming exhausted. Inflation is the terrible thnlg that will happen to the country if the other fellow gets the wage increase that you've been demanding. Theu there was the Italian shutln, with a brother who waa also la the navy, . * Good yarn# have boon scarce along Broad street of late but early this week we ran Into eome of hte lade who had good ones to relate. Manager'Marshall of the Newberry atore tells a swell one. Seeing that two Irish women met on the street and Mrs. Clancy waa telling Mrs. MeOreedy all about a now fur coat her husband had given her. She described the garment in detail and ended up by saying "and do you know Mrs. McCready that this gorgeous fur comes from a skunk?" Mrs. McCready replied: "Yes, Mrs. Clancy, I kuow how you feel about your husband." C.' One of the -local lads?and this one was told mo by Chief Alva Ruah?was going to be married and he went Into Jerry H offer's jewelry emporium and said he wanted to see a diamond engagement ring. Jerry showed him one and when the young man?he happened to bo an aviation cadet? tasked the price. Jerry replied "Just two hundred dollars." Whereupon the cadet whistled. He looked the esse over and spied another ring, whioh he thought might be less. When he Inquired the price, Jerry grinned and said, "That will cost you exactly two whistles, my boy." * Sitting in Art and Pete|s fine eat parlor, the other noon I overheard two maidens talking in the next booth and one said to the other, "I got a pearl out of an oyster once." Whereupon the other dame said: "That's nothing, I got a bracelet out of an old crab." * * But the best yarn of the day, and one which I sure must tell good Fath" er Burke about, concerned three Irish, men from rival counties In the good old Irish Isle.. They were bragging about their various counties, and sez Pat, who came from County Clare: "The climate *ln County Clare begorra Is so folne that everybody lives to be a hundred years old." Mike, who came from Donegal snorted and said, "Begorra, you've got a folne climate but in Denegal they live U>> be 110 years old." Well, Shamus, an old grizzled son of Erin, who had bfen listening to his bragging friends, lit his pipe, took a couple of drags, and then said, "'TIs a fine climate youse have In County Clare and in Donegal, but in me own county of Queens, the climate Is so invigorating that they haf to shoot an old man before they could lay out a cemetery." That's all folks for now. There ain't no more. See you next week. Bleacher Chatter Who will win the Southern Trophy to be awarded the most valuable player In the city softball? There are sorr\e excellent prospects on every team In the league. Your guess la as good as mine. Right now, from a casual survey along bleacher row it looks as if Relchel of the Army and Mims of the Kendall outfit are favorites. But some of the other talent it showing brilliance and the season still has a month to go. s ? Speaking of last Friday's game between the Army and Merchants, Tommy Bruce came In from the roving outfield position to bundle the do fense around second and did a swell job. Carol Cox mad* a sensational catch of Schnell'a long fly to loft field in the second. e e _ M'g ahwi'p lightning and the ctJck ana rumble of thunder the spectators stuck to the scene until the last man was out. And then what u rush for cars. The rain came just three minutes later. With the race in the second half a nip and tuck affair with the Army and Instructors leading the paok and the Kendalls right on their tails, the cVowds of spsotators are getting larger and larger. The sport loving fans are realizing that there la lots of pleasure and oxoltement to be had every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening over at the softball arena, e That was a swell game the Kendalls and Merchants put up last Thursday night. Each team was limited to three hits, but the Merchants bunched two of theirs with two errors in the second inning to score three runs and take a lead the Millers could not top After that second inning Art Robinson settled down and gave up but one hit in the remaining frames. As a matter of fact, outside of the fifth, when four men faced the one armed lad, it was a case of one, two and three &vory inning.
