CASEY HAS STRUCK OUT
Oh, somewhere in this favored land, the sun
is shining bright, .
‘<The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere
hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere
children shout, _
But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey
has struck out!
It was the*last of the ninth inning in 1888; New York
eading Philadelphia 4 to. 3; two men were out; runners
bod on a aad third Dan Casey, who had broken up a
ball game the week before with a’ home run, was at bat for
Philadelphia; the stands roared for a homer—and “‘the mighty

eas was born baseball's classic, “Casey at the Bat.
New York won the ball game, but Casey won immortality on
a strikeout. Dan Casey struck out for the final time a few days
ago; death came to him ata time when baseball moguls were
debating whether the war will blackout professional baseball
during the 1943 season: when the ball clubs had just announced that they would play ball as long as each had nine
men left able to trot ovt on a diamond. If the games does go
on, it will probably be played by the old-timehs. many of them
veterans who had hung up their gloves, but who are coming
back to rerlace younger stars called into the service.
Before the season is over, the biggect “strikeout” in baseball history—more momentous than even. the sad song of
“Casey at the Bat’’—may occur. Organized baseball may fan
out for the duration. Like the mighty Casey, it may strike out
but it is too much a part of Amrica to ever die. The fans will
still be yelling for homers long after Hotler and Hirchito are just bad memories.

: 48-HOUR WEEK
Another notable illustration of the fact that the American people are often ahead of their government leaders in
recognizing the need for changes in their way of life to’aid in
putting the country on an ll-out war basis is brought sharnly
into focus by President Roosevelt's recent action in establishing a 48-hour work week.While there may be sharp difference of opinion on that
phase of the presidentia! order which preserves the right of
workers to overtime pay for work in excess of 40 hours per
week, there will be little or no public opposition to the length.
ening of the work weelto 48 hours. To the man on the street,
and the man in the field or the factory, it has been apparent
for months past that it was foolhardy to attempt to wage total
war on a 40-hour week basis, and the demand for a_ longer
week has come from the people, not from Washington.
Farmers, with no compulsion, other than their country’s
need, have been working 60 and 70 and 80-hour weeks ever
since the war began, and thousands of men in business and
industry, ‘eae by problems which could not possibly be masaeanndatl
or
tered in a normal work week, have-been doin’ the same. Now
that a beginning has been made in getting rid of some of the
luxury labor standards of peace time which have crippled the
wer effort, it is to be hoped that our leaders in Washington
and Sacramento wil! go the rest of the way. in_ stripping for
action. An immediate objective in California should be the
suspension of the archaic Full Crew Law, which requires that
six or seven brakemen be employed to do the work of two or
three on freicht trains, with the result that trains are delayed
in departure by lack of workmen—and vital shipments of war
materials are delayed in reaching our fighting men.
President Roosevelt, in preparing us for new changes to
-ome, has warned that all of us on the home front must “‘adopt
‘or the duration a Spartan standard of living and take patristic pride in it.’’ The American people are ready for that; they
iust want it fairly applied, with no exceptions.
: VICTORY AT GUADALCANAL . ;
Thete is n natural tendency on the part of our government and military leaders, in the wake of the victory at Guadalcanal, to warn against over-confidence and to emphasize
that this is just a dent in the Jap armor, rather than a turning
soint in the war. It is well that we should exercise restraint in
evaluating our initial victories and that we should not repeat
the mistakes of under-estimating our foe, as we did before the
treacherous attack on Pear] Harbor.
In actual fact, we have won only a:pin-point on the broad
may of the Pacific—a dot of land with a flying field which
we badly needed to protect our shipping lanes to Australia,
and which will also serve as a valuable base in future attacks
against the enemy. We paid a high price, in men and ships, for
that little strip of land, but the significance of the victory is
that it cost us far less to win it than it cost the Japs to lose it.
We have taken a fierce toll of the Japs in our first two
victories of the Pacific. at Guadalcanal Island and in New
Guinea—atoll of 90.000 Japanese dead, 200 Nipponese ships
sunk or damaged and 2,000 planes destroyed. In the southern
Solomons alone, our military observers estimate that Japan
lost 75,000 men, 150 ships and 1,000 planes, while the remainder of the losses were sustained in the New Guinea campaign, where MacArthur's troops wiped out the invasion force
to the last man. :
Our success in whittling down the Jap navy and merchant marine may have greater bearing on the outcome of the
war than our possession of the narrow strips of land which
were the focal points of the fighting. Similarly, the blow to
Japanese military morale is a factor of major importance; the
enemy knows now the mettle of American troops—and their
'. costly retreat from Guadalcanal proves that far from being
obsessed with a suicidal passion to die for the emperor, they
know how to run when they are lickéd. Guadalcanal may not
be a turning point in the war, but the Japs at least have had a
forestaste of what is to come. And the evidence indicates that
they don’t like it.
