Sailors DiMaggio and Dom enlistment buzz in baseball notes
A sprawling sports roundup reports sailors Dom DiMaggio and Joe DiMaggio seeking military duty while baseball axes bend under manpower pressure. It notes Dom’s prior failed draft appeal, Joe’s humorous wish for a punch line, and other wartime shifts including Marquette guard Enich joining Hilltoppers D and Navy preflight school plans for Bruce Smith. Gil Dodds and Gunder Haigg appear in a rowdy club scene as writers walk out, while Rip Sewell’s dipsy-top pitch draws Braves chatter and Casey Brengel’s guest star column weighs in on the hot topic.
