IN THE EVENT the Great Lakes Naval Training Station goes in for baseball this spring it has some choice diamond material at hand. . . . And there will be addi‘tional diamond material from the major and minor leagues heading that way from time to time as: Uncle

beckons.

And if the Sailors get hard up for pitching they probably could

draft Bob Feller, who was transferred after enlisting at Great Lakes. . Well known players there are Benny McCoy, Philadelphia Ath- ; letics, second satker; Ernie Andres, Louisville, third sacker; Joe Grace, St. Louis Browns, outfielder; Paul Christman, University of Missouri, M first sacker; Jim Reninger, formerly of the Phila- [| delphia Athletics, pitcher; Lee Williams, Akron, | Mid-Atlantic League, pitcher, If and when Great Lakes Station organizes 1 a nine the Indianapolis Indians will be only too _glad to take on the Sailors in an exhibition service benefit game at Victory Field. a The Training Station breezed through HooBenny McCoy sierdom in basketball and the extensive athletic

program

ed there most certainly will include baseball . . . and

also football in the fall. . . . That Station turned out a great grid

machine in the first World War.

The Great. Lakes basketball feam had no trouble scheduling games With college quintets and the Sailors will be equally as welcome in baseball and football on coliege and professional schedules. « + » And, of course, this also goes for first-rate Army and Air Corps
