Giants in Paradise

The New York Giants seem to have the softest touch as far as spring training is concerned. The Ott-men are being housed at the late John Rockefeller's 46 room mansion at Lakewood, N. J., which is claimed to have 17 baths. In their two previous years at Lakewood, the Giants stayed in town, but now they are getting up in the world. Lakewood's claim to one of the highest ratings in northern training is its rapidly drying turf. It can rain all night and all morning, but within an hour after the rain stops the players can take the field with no mud to bother them, because the ground is so porous. Even with the poor spring in weather last year, they were outdoors in uniform every day except five. Other Sites.
tank he was driving when water in the fuel line caused it to stall, Pvt. Abe Fortner of Livermore, Ky., later returned, cleaned the fuel sediment bowl and got the machine in operation, while still under heavy fire. The tank, repeatedly hit, stalled and Fortner repeated his cleaning until it finally went up in a blaze. The private has a bronze medal for his feat but War Bonds must be sold to replace the tank.
Baseball Notes
The sixteen major league clubs have at last gone into spring training, but this year's "melt down" camps are a far cry even from the abreviated sessions of 1944. First of all some of the coaches didn't have enough athletes present on the first day to hold practice, and those that were hanging around were mostly old timers and lads not even out of high school. The few real ball players left are almost all working in war plants and haven't seen fit to show up yet.

Where Goeth Basketball?
Any way you choose to look at it, it would seem that basketball is getting a bad name for itself, chiefly because of Eastern corruption of the game. Such a thing is virtually unheard of in these parts, mainly because here the game is a true sport and not just another gambler's paradise. Collegiate football has been suffering from the same thing for some time, but at least coaches are discreet enough to keep their athletes enrolled in school, and make some attempt to hide the fact that the latter are receiving disbursement for their "work." Now more than ever, it has been shown that "Phog" Allen was completely right when he suggested a czar for the sport to keep it on its former high levels. Perhaps some time soon the Easterners will come out of their lethargy and do something about it. After all, the matter is for themselves to correct now, but if such corruption of the game continues, it will begin pervading midwestern basketball, also.
Two Graduates Affiliated With New York Company
East Is to Blame
The second case of non-student participation was uncovered yesterday by unidentified persons. Jack Laub, a member of the City College of New York cage team, has played in six games this year, though he dropped out of C. C. N. Y. on February 13. Laub was attending classes in both the Merchant Marine academy and C. C. N. Y., but when courses in the former became to heavy, he stopped attending the civilian school. His coach, Nat Holman, stated that Laub said he wanted to play basketball and he thought if he mentioned attending classes he wouldn't be able to play.
