Gas ration cuts may hit summer sports travel
A 40 percent gas ration in the East threatens summer sports relying on bus transport. Golf courses and venues like Garden State Race Track, minor league parks, and AAU track championships face disruption, while major baseball parks and boxing venues may be less affected. Some athletes can still drive to work, but spectators must find alternatives. The column notes figures such as Little Monk Simons and guest Tommy Tucker, with opinions on team strength from Joe Cronin and remarks on the Indians and Red Sox. It also highlights Saratoga Springs and Morristown prep baseball feats, jockey Frank Earley’s wartime return, and Pvt. Joe Berardinelli’s Miami Beach air corps posting.
