Army Sports f' The army quartermaster corps it rushing the procurement of equipment for the special services division, which is constructing and planning complete recreational facilities, chiefly athletic, wherever troops will be stationed, even on the Japanese home islands. The 1949 procurement plans call for 225,000 basketballs, 285,000 tennis balls, 488,- 720 golf balls, and 1,263,000 baseballs. Until labor and materials become more available, these popular items will remain critical on civilian markets. Approximately 40,000 dozen baseballs are being used by organized baseball leagues. This amount, coupled with the army and navy requirements, will, it is estimated, take all of the first class baseballs the industry can produce until June, 1946.
