Boland played for five semi pro teams while holding a sanitation job and agreed to return to his post later in August for a key game against police department teams at the Polo Grounds. Boland, 31, previously with the Philadelphia Phillies and Buffalo Bisons, impressed Ossie Bluege and veteran manager Clark Griffith as a capable clean up hitter and fielder with profits for both sides in this wartime season.
