Default WW II Baseball Collector's help needed.

At my age, I subscribe to the adage, if you have not seen it before, buy it.
So, I bought what a first glacé looks like a typical period scorecard, but is really a program for the 1944 New York chapter of the Baseball Writers 21st annual eating and oratorical contest, 4 pages. (Photos attached, I hope)
The scorecard is filled with references to players, executives and players currently serving. There is also a separate 8 page seating arrangement.
Finally, there is a folded sheet with a song "bless 'em all", a tribute to the players, officials and executives currently serving. The only reference I could find online indicates it was written by Arthur Mann.
I would like to find out more about it. I do not really collect this era and would be happy to send more or better photos to anyone interested.
Thank you
Sorry could only upload one photo, I will keep trying
