LOUIS, July 17. — Because his soldiers should pay as well as work, sporting goods manufacturers are flooded with orders for athletic equipment. And thees same manufacturers al- ready are doing a landslide business on regular civilian orders. Such was the unanimous con- firmation by officials of various companies doing busingss in St. Louis. It looked bad last winter. Manufacturers couldn’t convince dealers that there would be the same number of persons indulging in sports. They used up reams of copy explaining that the average sport participant was under the draft age. It wasn't until these dealers re- ceived their regular early spring business that they rushed through their orders. Production in some ! companies already had been cut! | down 20 per cent because of the ' delayed orders.
