HYATT LAST WEEK we talked about softball for the coming season . . . let's continue with further discussion on the subject, and get the opinions of those who were closely asso ciated with the league last year. " I have contacted most of the managers of last year's teams and asked them what they think of softball for the coming year . .. . in relation to the war and prospects for a good season ... and what suggestions they have to offer for this season. Here are their unbiased opinions: Mr. Feldman, manager of Reliable Jewelers: "If it is well advertised it will go over ... I think that one point we fell down on last year was not letting the public know about it . . . lots of our tourists did not even know that softball was being played. "I think that we should follow President Roosevelt's policy that sports should not be eliminated in our every day life. "As for the boys being drafted, I think that we will have enough for one good league." Richard Queen Home For Twelve Days Furlough Richard Queen, who has recent ly completed a three months training course in the U. S. Air Corps at Maxwell Field, Ala., is home on a twelve days furlough with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Queen. Upon his return to Maxwell Field he will be assigned duty elsewhere. Lt. Grover M. Davis Leaves For Quantico Lt Grover M. Davis, of the medical corps of the U. S. Navy, left Sunday for Quantico, Va., where he reported for duty.

Guy Massie, manager of Rotary: "As far as the drafting of some of the players is con cerned the Rotary Club won't be affected because none of our members have been drafted. "As for the season, I think that this year will be as good or better than last year's . . . and I think we really should have some kind of sport to go to and I think that SOFTBALL would be the ideal sport.M TO TEE 4-H CUB MZKBZES 07 IBS UHITID SIAZSSt la an nour when our nation needs the actire support of every group of its people, It Is gratifying to learn that the 4-H Clubs will hold a national Mobil lzation Week, to rally the million and a half members and spur then to greater efforts In the cause of freedoa. It is to be hoped that the National 4-H Mobilization Week also will bring more rural young people into active participation in the useful work in which 4-H Club members engage! Tour activities in producing, preserving, and preparing food; in making clothing; and your other practical experiences in farming and homemaklng have prepared you for many tasks Important in peacetime and indispensable in wartime. No other group of rural young people anywhere else in the world has so much worth de fending, or is better prepared to help defend what it hae, lour 4-H Club pledge embodies the obligation which rests upon every Club member as a young citizen. Repeat it, study it, make it part of your very being. Let your head, heart, hands, and health truly be dedi cated to your country, which needs them now as never before. Whitner Prevost, irfanager of Unagusta: "If they do have softball this year I don't think that it should be played under the lights at all. "We have lost a few players out of last year's teams, but it shouldn't hurt much. "I have not decided whether Unagusta will have a team this year or not . . . as far as I know no meetings have been held . . . but I do think that it will have to be worked under an entirely new set-up this year. "I think also that if they do have softball that it should be made more of an old man's game as it was when we first started out." ' Furman Robinson, manager of Pet Dairy: "I think we ought to have a softball league and, per sonally, am in a hurry to start playing and I know a lot of fellows who are wanting to get started, too. .,,.; "We have lost only two players so far and I don't think that this will hurt us very much. "I think that we should have only one good . league, we probably won't have but enough for one anyway. I am not in favor of playing at night under the lights. If it is necessary we can start a lot earlier. "I am not in favor of the present set-up either. I think that it should be more as it was when we first started out and that anybody could play if they wanted George Bischoff, manager of Royle & Pilkington: "I do think that we should have a softball league if it is anywhere near possible, because this year the people are going to need some kind of entertainment more than ever. I think that the season should be as good or better as far as offering entertainment as last year. "I also am in favor of one league and I think that it will almost have to come to this out of necessity. Al though Royle & Pilkington had two teams 'last year they couldn't at all this year because so many of our boys have been drafted. I also am in favor of playing at twilight, and I think that we would not have to in convenience ourselves by doing this since we are on War Time and the days are longer, too." Judging from, the reports which you have just read I'd say that everyone is in favor of having softball back again this year and that most of them think that it would be for the good of the public. Although the draft has taken a few of the players it has only been the more professional ones and would not take the fun or the vigor out of the game. Again we ask, WHAT HAPPENED TO the two or three tennis courts which were promised to be built at the high school? ' . .
