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 monthsago but we never knew it. What aheadache!

The Nogales Internationals lastSunday got two runs, four hits, oneerror and four men left on base.The Tomateros for the season gotno runs. NO HITS (and that’s forsure), and so many errors we losttrack, and before the season endsevery 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 ballgame last Sunday. So would I,

even though I was there.Anyhow, they were beaten by the

Marana Air Base team. Maranahad 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 “ifthat’s chat guy’sfast. one. it’s about as fast as theSud Pacifico’s rapida. These guysfrom Marana will hit it to Em-

palme.” Well, I was wrong. Theydidn't hit it to Empalme. They hit

it to Culiacan. It came up to the

plate as big as a watermelon, andwhen it left their bats it looked likea six by seven tomato (Bill Agguirfe

pack).Chuy Astiazaran had tough luck.

He was tapping a guy out at firstand broke his wrist. Same thing

happened to Andy Bookas, but he

was tapping a guy for fifty and theguy 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.Igot 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.

The playing competition will beopen only to boys who are amateurs(who have never before receivedcompensation for playing any kindof sports), and who will not haveattained their seventeenth birthday

jbefore January Ist, 1944. (Note: Aboy bpm in 1927 or thereafter iseligible.)

It is planned to have at least two, team; playing in the Nogales Legion

Junior Baseball League. Due totransportation problems, no attemptwill be made to book games withother Legion teams outside of No-

J The local teams will be in con-

last two and a half months has beencanvassing the whole town regu-larly collecting waste paper. Lastweek with the help of the schools,
