Reported l«y Julia Ann Tillman Fifth Grade Bats, Balls, Scarce; Teams Ask For Help WASHINGTON May 20.—Ma ,ini league officials said today the | shortage of balls and bats had be j come so acute that it endangers j the future of baseball. They plan ned an appeal to the government 1 for assistance. I Undersecretary of War Patter son, the War Production Hoard and the War Manpower Commis sion will be asked to “do what they can.” “This scarcity of playing equip ment is being felt by the kids, cutting right at the roots of the , game,” some big league leaders said. High schools, _ sandlot and Am erican Legion coaches and mana gers in various parts of the coun try have written to the majors for help They are down to a few bat i tered left over balls and patched up bats. The bat shortage is being re flected in organized baseball and may affect play appreciably by next spring, since about six months are required properly to season the wood used in their man ufacture. Sponsors of the appeal to the government said they understood that large organizations hold timber lands on which there is am •ple ash and hickory. The sugges tion was offered that a small am ount of this timber be allocated to the manufacture of bats with the government authorizing suffi cient manpower to handle it. Similar allocations would be needed in leather, also critically scarce, for a imited number of baseballs. “This situation goes deeper than the mere production of com paratively few balls and bats,” one baseball leader said.' “It af fects hundreds of thousands of American boys. “At one time there were more than 400,000 boys in the American Legion baseball program alone. They all took the pledge of alle giance to our country; learned what Americanism means at an early age through playing base ball. “This number is rapidly dwind ling due partially to this shortage of balls and bats, and something ought to be done about it.” Commencement At Tryon High School The Tryon High Pehn 1 wifl begin their commence meut exer cises on Sunday, Mav 21, at 3:00 o’clock when the ’licoalaurea' Sermon will be delivered at the High School Auditu'iuni.

It is true that todays boys are tomorrows men. They are doing things that no other generation did at the same stage of life. They deserve more than a casual nod from their leaders. Cherryville boys are doing worth-while things. Some are raising Victory Gardens, some are doing various other jobs worth while.

They helped in the collection uf ’.early vc ions of used clothing to be sent to our allies. -it poo io the various mills of the city who offered nuch ci.cou. a.-cr.i: . ! • the Scouts and Scouters, and who last week ran a >■ ■ °;e ad of congratulations.

Sports Editor Writes On Legion Base Ball BY WILTON GARRISON (Acting Sports Editor of The Charlotte Observer.) The American Legion Junior baseball program; now starting its lsth season, has done a big job. The major and minor baseball leagues are filled with graduates of the Legion game, but the re suits havi> o’rmn thn., that Thousands (the figure is now dose to the millitVusi of hoys have learned Americanism through the Legion's fine program. They have learned good sportsmanship and how to play the game cleanly | whether winning or losing. Bet jter citizens have been built by j American Legion Junior baseball and thousands of good young men | it litis built are now serving their country in the armed forces anti serving it well. The Tryon Post No. 100 of the American Legion of Cherryville is to be highly commended for the energetic program it has started this season. It is giving the boys of t herryyillo a chance to play baseball and learn Americanism and sportsmanship, as well as some boys from Lincoln and Cleveland counties which are not touched by other posts. Active young American boys i must play to keep out of mischief. | The American Legion long ago recognized this angle and the Jun ior baseball program was the re sult. It has given thousands ef boys “something to do’’ in their spare time and ha- kept them out of much mischief. The program has paid big dividends wherever it has been conducted and many cities have praised it highly in combat ing juvenile delinquency. When the American Legion started its program IS years ago, sports editors were skeptical. They , thought it was just another pro-’ motion stunt. But the program has proved its worth and has been the most influential feature of sports in North Carolina and all other states, gaining prominence 1 and influence every year. Cherryville is off to i good staut this year with a fine league. And out of that loop may coma the state, regional and national champions. That is what makes the program interesting—you nev er know who will win.
