CONTINUING...
   Hoping that it might
still be of interest to you
Amache sportsters, this will
be a continuation of last
week's discourse on sports
in   Manzanar...
BOXING...
   With classes open to the
young boxing aspirants in
camp, a schedule has been
drawn up for those who wish
to learn or further their
ability in the American art
of self defense.   A special
nisei instructor hired un-
der the recreation depart-
ment, is always on hand to
offer pointers and to give
instructions.  A regulation
outdoor boxing ring has
been erected,with the floor
of the ring about 3 feet
above the ground.   Money for
equipment was raised through
registration fees,and only
registered members are able
to use same...
WEIGHT-LIFTING...
   Weight-lifting classes
have also been started and
three nights weekly have
been set aside for regis-
tered enthusiasts who wish
special instructions. Other
nights are open to those
who wish to work out in the
so-called gym. Beginners
are taught by a nisei rec-
reation employee whose full
time is put into instructing
the members. A permanent
platform has been built in
the recreation hall where
all of the weight-lifting
contests are held.
MISCELLANEOUS…
   For the benefit of the
man who stands behind the
man behind the hat during
a ball game,an announcer's
shack, approx. 12 'x 12',
built on a platform elevated
15 feet off the ground, is
used at all of the big games
to give the pitch-by-pitch
account of the game being
played.    A press bench has
also been built inside of
the booth where the local
pressmen sit and keep the
official scores.   This struc-
ture can be pulled by truck
to any desired location.

TWO  GAMES  ON  TAP
DELTANS  OUT  FOR  3RD  WIN  
   The  Deltans will be out
for their third straight AA
league triumph tomorrow
morning when they meet the
off-and-on Knines at the
10F diamond at 9 o'clock.
   Last week, both teams
emerged victorious, the
Deltans nosing out the hard-
luck Dusters, who drew a
bye this week, and the K-
nines upsetting the Dodgers
in a lopsided 9-1 walkaway.
   The Knines will start
their newly found ace Yukio
Miyamoto on the mound and
will rely on George Maru-
yama, George Matsuura, Egg
Igasaki, and Pitcher Miya-
moto, all .400 hitters, to
bat in the runs.
   The favorites will rely
on Mas "Lefty" Nishijima,
current AA batting leader’s
pitching to pull them
through.   Besides him the
Deltans will have sluggers
Flu Inaba and George Wata-
nabe.
   The Knines cannot be
counted short if they can
play as they did against
the Dodgers. They may pull
another upset.

DODGERS   PLAY
MOTOR   POOLERS
   In the feature game of
the AA league, the Dodgers
will meet the strong Motor
Pool at 2 o'clock at the
10F field tomorrow.
   The Motormen, although
minus their two sluggers,
Jim "Cabbage" Kubochi and
Kanemi Ono, who left for
outside employment, will
still be favored to take
their second league win.
   The Dodgers, who lost
their ace pitcher Gil Tan-
ji to the Army, will pro-
bably start Johnny Arishi-
ta,while the Motor Poolers
are expected to have south-
paw "Yuba Joe" Nakamura on
the hill.
   The Dodgers have poten-
tial batting power in Dave
Matsushima,Jack Hamahashi,
Nob Kuwatani, and Kenny
Ohki. If these boys can
hit up to par,Nakamura will
be in for a lot of trouble.
   Leading the batting
parade for the  Motormen
will be veteran Tosh Shimi-
zu,Roy Hatanaka, and Frank
Matsutani.
   The probable starters:
DODGERS ..vs..   MOTOR POOL
J.Arishita        P       J.Nakamura
N.Kuwatani    C            H.Okada
