So far the major leagues have

: survived these handicaps and are

getting ready to open spring training camps next month, but the going is getting rougher every day. The game is losing its star gate attractions and, what's more important, the training grounds for replacements... When the Texas league suspended yesterday it cost the majors one of their principal sources of supply. Thus far, 22 of the 31 minor leagues which opened the 1942 season have folded. The . manpower problem has reachéd such an acute stage that the St. Louis Cardinals are advertising for players for their farm clubs. So are the Toronto club of the International league and Memphis of the Southern association. Stay in Jobs To add to their woes, major league club owners almost daily are receiving word from players that they have decided to keep their defense jobs rather than return to the game. Of course; in some cases it probably is a question of trying to get more money than called for in 1943 contracts for the war has changed the old system of holdouts. Ball players today do not care to risk public opinion by coming out openly for more money. Overshadowing the . manpower problem these past few days, however, has been the loss of men whose names have done much toward bringing out crowds. Will Miss DiMag One of the best drawing cards the game had left—Joe DiMaggio, the peerless center fielder for the New York Yankees—is in the army. Manager Leo Durocher, probably the most colorful skipper in the ‘majors, has been summoned for his selective service physical examination March 1. And it appears only a matter of weeks before big Johnny Mize, the slugging first baseman of the New York Giants, joins them. DiMaggio, Durocher and Mize have drawn more than their share of customers to the parks. They are going to be missed as much at the box office as on the playing field. While these blows have been serious, they haven't been fatal. Baseball is not complaining and won't

for the duration. So long as .they can place enough men on the field the major leagues will operate, regardless of how the turnstiles click, unless the administration definitely asks that the game be ontinued.
