Write to a Friend , A1 E. Camerlin. Jr., SP (Q) 2^c, Somewhere in the Pacific. Dear Al: Well, the baseball season has started and the tomato season is about over. The only thing is that the tomato season was over months ago but we never knew it. What a headache! The Nogales Internationals last Sunday got two runs, four hits, one error and four men left on base. The Tomateros for the season got no runs. NO HITS (and that’s for sure), and so many errors we lost track, and before the season ends every Tomatero will be off his base —well, nearly everyone anyhow. Some were off before it started. Most of us never got to first base, and darn few got to the First Na- tional. You being an old member of the Internationals probably would like to know something about the ball game last Sunday. So would I, even though I was there. Anyhow, they were beaten by the Marana Air Base team. Marana had too much pitch, too much hit. We had no hit, not too much pitch. I got the tip-off on our pitcher “Lefty Ybarra” before the game started. He was warming up and I was calling ’em behind the catcher, and his “fast” one went wild and cracked me on the shin-bone. I thought a mosquito bit me and I told Pete Abadie “if that’s chat guy’s fast. one. it’s about as fast as the Sud Pacifico’s rapida. These guys from Marana will hit it to Em- palme.” Well, I was wrong. They didn't hit it to Empalme. They hit it to Culiacan. It came up to the plate as big as a watermelon, and when it left their bats it looked like a six by seven tomato (Bill Agguirfe pack). Chuy Astiazaran had tough luck. He was tapping a guy out at first and broke his wrist. Same thing happened to Andy Bookas, but he was tapping a guy for fifty and the guy broke Andy's wrist. Now Andy has to deal with one hand. The American Legion is doing a swell thing here and elsewhere in the country, organizing ball teams for kids under 17 years—something we've needed here in Nogales. Your dad and the gang at the fire house are all fine. They haven’t had a workout at a fire since New- berry's burned out. except the other night they were called across the line to the Cavern. But it was a false alarm. It seems Al Breslau, the “Mixer of Ceremonies” was curling his hair with an electric curler and the machine got a hot-box trying to find his curls. Best regards, MARTY. ! P.S.—Maybe I was wrong about that pitcher not having a fast ball. I got a lump On my shin as big as a grapefruit, and it’s the color of an over-ripe avocado. his fast one is like the Concordia’s whiskey —you don't feel it until three or four days after.

BASEBALL FANS: Remember the olden adage “a town is judged by its ball team.” Boy Scouts j Doing Their Bit I For Victory (By ARCHIE SCRIVNER) i Local troop 34 of the Boy Scouts jhas been doing its bit for Victory, j Several times it has been at the j point of passing out of the picture i like other local troops, but it has picked itself up and continued to plug (hike) along. Immediately after Pearl Harbor | the troop organized into an emer- jgency service unit to serve as mes- i sengers or in any other capacity under the local Defense Committee. Remember the test blackouts and air raids? The boys were there with their bikes and flashlights. Troop 34 participated in the metal scrap drive, has distributed thous- ands of leaflets and posters on War Bond drives, United War Fund. Red Cross drives, etc., and for the last two and a half months has been canvassing the whole town regu- larly collecting waste paper. Last week with the help of the schools, approximately 6,000 pounds were collected. Lincoln School was high with close to a thousand pounds. At a brief but impressive ceremony last Friday. Francisco Rios, one of the boys who has helped to keep the troop active, was officially in- stalled as Junior Assistant Scout- j master. Scouters present at the i meeting were Chet Rader, District | Scout Commissioner, and troop com- | mittee members Father James T. i Weber, William Glasson and RodoL ifo Vega. Since then plans are be- i ing made to organize a blood donors’ ; group. ; If we are not seen picking up paper Sunday it means we are out i on an overnight hike. ! Spring Football !

Apr. 27—'Special) —With months of specialized train- ing in Army Air Force Technical schools completed. 2nd. Lt. Fred Rochlin, son of Mr. Jake Rochlin. Patagonia Road. Nogales, Arizona, has recently arrived at Peterson Reid for assignment to the combat- crew training school as a Navigator. With others man ing a Liberator Bomber, he will, so. several months, undergo final training before leav- ing for one of the theaters of war.
