The new American Legion junior base ball handbook, containing all of the 1931 official rules, is ready for dis- tribution, the Legion's Americanism Commission has announced. The book- let is made up with many pictures of 1930 players and teams. It gives gen- eral information about the program for the coming season, interpretations and suggestions for carrying out 1931 rules and reviews the 1930 play. The hand- book may be had by writing to the National Americanism Commission, the American Legion, national headquarters, ;7'{‘ North Meridian street, Indianapolis, nd. ‘The rules, for the most part, are practically the same as they were in | 1930. This year, for the first time, however, 15 players may be enrolled on any team. In all previous years the total enrollmen® of teams has been restricted to not more than 14 players. The name, monogram or other designa- tion of persons or organizations sponsor- ing teams, is permitted this year oh the sleeve or back of the uniform shirt in letters not over two inches in size. Last year the name was not permitted, ex- cept on the sleeve of the shirt. Rule 3 has been changed to read: “Each player must be a bona fide resident of the community served by the sponsoring the team in which he enrolls.” Last year the rule said that eacl Pllyu' must be a bona fide resident “of the community represented by the team in which he enrolls.” A slight change has been made in rule 4 to the effect that where a certifled | copy of the birth certificate is mnot | available, “then a certified copy of the | baptismal certificate or player's school record age” should be attached to the | certificate of entry. D. C. Naval Reserve In an effort to have his organization make the finest showing at the coming annual inspection before a board of Regular Naval officers, Lieut. Samuel W. Stinemetz,’ commander of the 1st Battalion, United States Naval Reserves of the Distsict of Columbia, has made an_appeal to the officers and men to have several voluntary assemblies for training purposes. In past years the appropriation for Naval Reserve training has been s cient to permit the organization to have two drills a week, but the economy move has made it necessary to cut -° these uivalent instruction training periods. e local organization also is having its annual inspection this jear much earlier than usual, and the cut- ting out of the second weekly drill is being felt in thet preparation for ihe annual inspection. It was pointed out that many of the men have the’ organization’s ‘nterest at heart and are willing to ou: ia .he extra time without receiving the ussal drill pay allowed, and that they can put the time to good purpose 'n smocth- ing off the rough places befure the arrival here of the Inspection Board. Lieut. Stinemetz said that this extra voluntary drill a week for ‘he next several weeks will id the organization materially in reaching a higa mark during the inspection. While the training of persenncl is being pushed forward with much vigor, the work of preparing the armory’for the drilling of the men is going for- ward raplaly. A bridge similar io that on & destroyer has beei constructed, with all- of the instruments usvally found there, including a fire - ¢ ntrol avstem, the center int from which the firing of the battery is controlled. A general alarm signal has been in- stalled in the building, to be used for the purpose of calling the crew Lo the emergenc- stations, and various emer- gency stations established and the men assigned to them. Lieut. Stinemetz said that .he or- ganization generally is entering nlol the spirit of preparations wnd that ihe attendance is excellent. 5 of 173 men on the rolls, 154 reported for drill last Monday night. Of the absentees five are on active training ‘uty on the battleship Wyoming and the )ther ab- sentees are accounted for mostly by sickness. Whether the Navy Department will allow the Inspection Board to give a lower rating to personnel turnover dur- ing the inspections this year remains to be seen. If it does, it was indicated that the local organization will have a better opportunity than ever before to capture one of the trophies awarded each year to the battalion and division having the highest figure of merit as a result of inspections. There have been several instances in the past, it was said, where divisions of the local organ- ization have lost first place merely be- cause of the high rating given to per- sonnel turnover. They were higher in standing in general efficiency in the performance of strictly naval duties. The local organization officers, beiug of the opinjon that this rating was too high, presented the matter to the re- cent annual convention of the United States Naval Reserve Officers’ Associa- tion here, and the organization adopted a resolution favering a reduction. It was stated that delegate officers from other sections of the country were en- thusiastically in favor of the change. It was the contention of the local of- ficers that the department should take cognizance of the importance of having the men 8o well trained that they could take their stations board ship promptly upon the arrival of an emergency, and that training should count upper- most, instead of penalizing the bat- talions for something which is entirely beyond their control. It was that the members of the Naval Reserve have private occupations, and many times they were compelled to move from the jurisdiction, and thus separate themselves from their organizations, but that the organizations are penalized for a large number of changes which they can in no way contrcl. In explaining the various branches of the Naval Reserve the Bureau of Navi- gation in a bulletin says, that the physical and professional standards of the Fleet and Volunteer Reserve, General Service, are identical. Officers of the Fleet Reserve may be transferred from the Fleet to the Volunteer Reserve when they can no longer take an active part in the fleet activities, or by reason of re- moval to a locality where there is no fleet division, or at their own request, without loss of rank or precedence. A volunteer officer, General Service, may be transferred to the Fleet; Reserve with the same rank when required to fill a ‘vacancy in a fleet division upon the rec- ommendation of the commandant of his naval district. Special service officers of the Volun- teer Naval Reserve are appointed for specific dutles in the war organization of the Navy, mostly on shore. They may be ordered to sea duty in time of war, if required. Officers are appointed in the various special service classes to fill certain billets and rank is assigned ac- cording to the al;?(ullonll attalnments, age and experience of the individual. Candidates for these classes must be recommended by the commandant of the naval district or one of the bureaus of the department to fill a vacancy in the quom. They must be physically qualified for the duties which they are expected to perform. ‘The Merchant Marine Naval Res°rve is composed of licensed officers of the American merchant marine. In order to become eligible for appointment in this class the candidate must be serv- ing on board a vessel approved by the department and of at least 2,500 gross tons. They must be citizens of the United States and hold licenses under the Department of Commerce and be recommended by the master, owners or operators of the vessel on which they are serving. Rank is assigned upon inal appointment, ac to the tion on board sideration the size and horsepower of the shij ship. Certain seagoing merchant vessels documented under the laws of the United States and designated by the Secretary of the Navy as suitable for service as naval auxiliaries in time of war may be warranted by the Secre- tary of the Navy to fly the Naval Re- serve flag as an emblem of th: Mer- chant Marine Naval Reserve, provided that the master and not less than 50 per cent of the officers on board are members of the Naval Reserve. This flag is not to be flown in lieu of the % | national emblem. ‘There are at present 2,728 officers in the Merchant Marine Naval Reserve and 139 vessels warranted to fly the Naval Reserve flag. There are 1,150 vessels on the approved list. This branch of the Reserve is on a purely voluntary basis, the members thereof receiving no pay.
