A week or so ago this reporter took his first look at a new baseball Field the recently dedicated Canham Field at Mannheim s Coleman Barracks Home of the 8th div s 3rd brigade. We were duly impressed. Not that it s the finest or Best equipped facility around because it in t. But because the people at the 3rd brigade started virtually from scratch and in a period of just Over two months built a Field of which they can be justifiably proud. Wearen t particularly interested in blowing the 3rd brigade s Horn because it s just one unit of Many in Europe. But in the accomplishment of the 3rd brigade is a lesson for All. Where there is a will there is a Way. It s an old cliche we know. But one Wellworth remembering even today. The same problems and solutions involving Canham Field Are just As Well applicable to keeping up facilities that have in the past deteriorated for one reason or another. The 3rd brigade like its sister unit the 1st brigade in Mainz Lee Barracks North Baden District which runs Woods memorial Field and no doubt other units had the most trouble locating materials. That seems to be everybody s great trouble. In the Case of the 3rd brigade it. Col. Thomas b. Blake who made this Field his personal project got on the Telephone and began calling other units trying to Latch onto lumber and Chicke wire for fences and dugouts pipe for a water line Cement for the dugouts and trucks for transport of materials. He kept at it until he got at least the Bare essentials with which Canham Field was built. Here s another instance of Good old fashioned ingenuity. It takes persistence and a Little rank helps but if we keep at it Long enough we can eventually see a project through. Officials at the 3rd brigade readily admit that the Only material obtained through regular channels and regular expenditures was Brick dust some 35 tons of which eventually formed the skin por Tion of the infield. They say it should have a Little More but for the time being the infield looks pretty Good to us. Canham Field proof otherwise labor to construct the Field came from the commander has troops which he can spare for work of this Type and we hardly think he can be criticized from any Quarter for doing so. The troops May not be the most highly skilled people in the world but Canham Field is proof that with proper super vision our gis can do a Job that s attractive and tidy. The facilities at Canham while not prize winners Are Well built and durable particularly the dugouts. Especially for such an isolated location and obviously in an area where soil conditions Are not the bes for maintaining a real Good grass cover. We have every reason to believe that the Field will continue to show improvement an that 3rd brigade will get its vip stand and press Box built get More bleachers and make other improvements in the plans. Before we move on we d like to pass on a few plaudits for som of the other men responsible for the Canham Field project including capt. David Gwinn the 3rd brigade adjutant s. Estrada the brigade s Jovial a Rico s. Sgt. Harry inns keep As Well As it. Alvin Oree manager of the baseball team and his players All of whom have put in their share of Lime to prepare the Field and see that it s kept fit. Program of inspections in keeping on our positive theme in regard to european military sports facilities we d like to note a program of inspections and subsequent conferences that Are about to get underway in com program has bean in the works for some time. It is not a recent concoction since Pur columns have brought attention twosome unsatisfactory conditions therefore we do not want to take any credit. But we have managed to focus some attention on the problem of deteriorating sports facilities and we Are More than willing to help in this and any other Way we can. In any Case col. Robert d. Montondo the special services chief for com a is sending out personnel to take a look at sports facilities in various areas. Vogelsburg is the first and other areas will follow As time and personnel permit. The next step will be conferences wit District officials and hopefully representatives of other using units and the engineers involved. These conferences will attempt to go Over problem areas with respect to each facility and discuss what measures can retaken to Correct any deficiencies. It is hoped that a greater spirit of cooperation can be developed particularly with Engineer units this is essential because the engineers have the know How an materials in Many cases to accomplish needed repairs. The Bonds Between special services responsible for maintenance of facilities and supporting engineers have been spotty sometimes Good a with the 3rd brigade project mentioned above and sometimes not so Good. We do not want to seem like we arc faulting the engineers because we Are not. We feel that both special services and engineers units do not always know and appreciate each other s problems and a Good healthy discussion can do no harm towards improving those Bonds of cooperation. Before closing we would like to observe that even the in s offices getting into the act. Reading our last column on the situation at main maj. Daniel j. Schulte in the com z office of the 1g a Worms clipped it and sent it on with some notes of his own particularly directed to the wrong Way Gold flow for that unused sport Field near Lee Barracks. Schulte notes that there Are times that Only through such publicity do problems of other commanders come to Light. We Are grateful for his interest and i m sure col. John f. Sadler at the 1st brigade is too.
