Weaver, while here, was frequently criticised for his selfish views on en- listments and it was reported right along that he would use every means possible to ovade the draft net. It was brought to light last night that | Weaver was immensely unpopular | with his team-mates while here and | that the club officials had little or no | use for him. His greatest popularity | was with the ladies, however. Stories are frequently told of how Weaver wsed to plead with Manager Murphy | to be allowed to pitch on ladies’ days | and how he used to apply powder to his face and carefully crease his base- ball trousers before leaving the club house. Weaver's plea for exemption differs vastly to the patriotism displayed by | other members of the local ball club.

It has always been the habit of the fans to “pocket” the balls instead of throw- ing them back on the playing field. Next season the fan can help win the | war by just tossing the ball imme- diately back on the field. Three im- portant war materials are used in manufacturing a baseball. They are yarn, rubber and horsehide and when 2 person saves either one of these | materials he is helping a. lot. By re- turning a baseball three important materials are saved at once. i Yarn of course is the most needed |- material and a baseball contains | more of this than any other sub- | stance. During the past months thou- | sands of sweaters, socks and wrist- | lots, etc., have been made, and of ! course yarn has become scarce and expensive. The horsehide is not as essential as yarn, but the fine grades are be- | coming scarce and can be used to re- | lieve the shortage of ordimary shoe | leather. Although rubber is not used | as much as it formerly was there are still a great many elastic center balls made. Rubber now costs too much | and cork has become a reliable and cheaper substitute. It would not be a bad idea club owners had placards printed and displayed prominently in the stands reminding fans that to return | the baHs would help shorten the war.
