Battery or company to another we found that most of the troops largely volunteers were against All sorts of spot Back Home. They were bitter against ballplayers movie actors and others who were left behind. Slackers was the Only term they used. Heavily embellished. I reported the situation after a week s Survey and the sports Page of the stars and stripes was promptly cancelled. Hank Gowdy and Foldie Grant were the Only baseball heroes. Gowdy is now a major and oaf. Grant of Harvard and the new York giants was killed around the that or Argonne. Not to forget that Oro mittens Vrr Cleveland Alexander was a Stretcher bearer at the front. The National draft has had a lot to do with the change of attitude Grantland rile in this War. The boys at the front know that the leading golfers baseball players boxers and other athletes have been taken into the service. There is no longer any resentment against those left behind deferred for family or physical reasons.
