NEW YORK, Feb. 19—(/P)—As
; a sign the spring training season
| really is under way, some of the
j ex-servieemen who were getting
I the headlines a week or so, al
ready have begun to fade . . . And
i don’t be surprised if a lot of others
who loked like world beaters in
the service leagues turn out to be
just fair ball players . . . There
may be an exception in the case
of pitchers . . . Shag Shaughnessy,
the International League boss,
claims they’ve had a chance to
develop because they didn’t have
' to bear down so hard and could
concentrate on gaining control and
working up new stuff ... As a
reward for his winter activities
| on the alleys, including a bunch
! of exhibiitons, Babe Ruth is get
ting a pass to the American Bowl
>
ing Congress tourney for free. The ,
Babe presumably has the nickel
to go with it if he wants to ride
in the subway.
Some of the 13th Air Force fli
ers who played in the recent all
service tennis tourney in Australia,
told this one about a major who
also was a tennis enthusiast . . .
When his group was about to
bomb Balikpapan, the major in
structed: “Bomb installations, but
don’t touch tennis courts.” . . .
After the raid he received this re
port: “Installations, etc., obliter
ated; regret one tennis court un
playable.”
.Byron Nelson, the golfing um
brella man, is turning sports
writer. He’ll do a golf column for
the Toledo Blade three times a
week during the spring and sum
mer . . . The Giants’ Bill Voiselle
had moved from Ninety Six, S. C.,
to Mustang, Okla. . . . and no
cracks, please, about his not want
ing to be “broke.”
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — (/P) — The
marraige of Capt. Henry ^Hank>
Greenberg and Caral Gimbel of
Greenwich, Conn., almost went
unnoticed by this southern port
city. The man who performed the
ceremony, City Ordinary Edwin
C. Dart, was unaware the groom
was the famed outfielder of the
Detroit Tigers until he received a
telephone call from a newspaper.
Greenberg is due to report to
Lakeland Wednesday to begin
spring training.
NEW YORK—f^)—The Austra
lian lawn tennis association is
proceeding with plans to enlarge
the seating capacity of Melbourne’s
stadium from 12,000 to 16,000 in
preparation for the Davis cup
challenge round in December, the
Australian News and Information
Bureau reported today.
---—f
An estimated 6,500,000 tons of

In considering the Alaska Road
Commission budget for the fiscal
year 1947, the House Committee
on Appropriations has before it
an estimate for maintenance of
the existing road system in the
amount of $1,285,500. Of that sum
$202,600 would come from the
Alaska Fund and contributed
funds. A direct appropriation of
$1,082,900 for maintenance has
been asked of Congress: represent
ing an increase in the budget es
timate of $44,000 over the current
fiscal year.
The Alaska Fund is comprised
of money made available from li
cense taxes on business and trade
in Alaska, and contributed funds
are based on contributions from
sources including the Territorial
government.
