Default FS Book Athletics During World War II

I'm cleaning out my juvenile fiction books and thought someone might want it for their shelf. Twenty-five dollars postpaid media mail ?

Famous American Athletes of Today Ninth Series by Gordon Campbell

Interesting content about how America treated their athletes during WWII and vignettes of fourteen of those who "went to war."

Eddie Arcaro
Lou Boudreau
Spud Chandler
Dit Clapper
The Cooper Bros
Joe Cronin
Gil Dodds (the flying parson)
Tom Harmon
Marty Marion
Byron Nelson
Bill Nicholson

Johnny Vandermeer
Dixie Walker

and a fifteenth chapter with (probably complete) lists of all Major-League baseball players in the armed services broken down by team.

book is ex-library from Leominster, MA published by Page & Co. Boston with library markings on spine. attractive, spine has picture of a tennis racket and cover has two hockey players.
