SPORTS... By Eddie Ash

BASEBALL owners in the Pacific Coast League who have heavy money invested in parks, franchises and players may wind up the 1942 season with a costly deficit if they play out the season on a daytime schedule. West Coast owners have plenty to worry about. . . . If blackouts continue in that section it will mean no night baseball ‘ «ox ana if they can't play at night they can’t pay the salaries to which Class AA players are accustomed, . . And many of the players have been signed up for 1942. Most players’ contracts carry war clauses, but those clauses are in effect only in the event of no baseball at all during the year. In other words, if the athletes play they have to be paid their full salaries. . . . The same thing may happen in the minors along the Atlantic Coast and in the Southeastern States regarding night ball. . . . The big leagues may suspend night games in the East but they are in a position to get along without them, like the two Boston clubs and the New York Yankees. s s =» Jd ~ es "AT THE CHICAGO baseball convention when Gabby Hartnett learned that Mace Brown had been sold by Brooklyn. tg the Buston Red Sox, he commented: “That name sounds very familiar to me.” It should. ...

Is Pessimistic

Coach Lou Reichel of Park is rebuilding with an eye ‘to another Midwestern Prep Conferenge championship. The pessimistic Panther coach, to whom titles have become a habit, claims the following difficulties: 1. Not a man stretches to the six-foot mark. 2. They lack experience. Only one letterman returned, Capt. Al Huff. On the other hand the boys have speed aplenty and already Indiana University High School has fallen before the Panthers, 24 to 16. Add to this that Reichel likes to mix the blues with his humor. Standing out on the schedule again this year are six Midwestern Prep Conference games. Last year the Panthers won all and climbed to the semi-finals in annual Chicago are 1939 and 1940 0 they were the tourney champions

At present 3¢ boys are on the team and Lou doesn’t intend to cut first five with, a8 he says, several lads “p The first iA is of Huff, Robert Harris, Robert Fox and Carelton Palmer.
