WORLD SERIES
•• Detroit started its series cavalcade off the other night
when hundreds of
people turned out to welcome the returning Tigers.
Since then the city has been one mad jumble,
of revelers.
•• When the Cubs blew in, they brought half of the city of Chicago with them, causing a severe hotel shortage
and other living space.
.. When the Tigers and Cubs square off it will be to the greatest and
most enthusiastic audience in years. On paper the Cubs look like
the winning team, however, there is
too much talent in he Detroit lineup
\to make the series a foregone conclusion.
We're not optimistic or anything, but we are leaning to the Cubs
with at least a two game lead in three starts.
A MESSAGE FROM COL. GIRAND
•• We will disembark Thursday morning. The uniform for the occasion will be
"Class A"
with sidearms. Everything else will be packed and ready by l700 Wednesday afternoon except mess gear
and
blankets. Look your best; the country is proud to have you back
so let's look
as though we are proud to be back.
.. The conduct and discipline aboard ship has been very good. We should
all extend our thanks to the ships crew and permanent party for the excellent meals they have provided, as well
as their generally seaworthy performance.
Remember, we are in the United States now so lets govern our
conduct accordingly. Mum, is the word on our ex-girlfriends in Europe.
If we make don Juan's of ourselves we not only queer our own deal, but make it a
little tougher on the other Jo4es who are still sweating it out.
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
Wife: "Did you go out with those awful girls in Europe"?
G.I.: "No,, why"?
Wife: "Every time you kiss me you hand me a
chocolate bar"!
The Editor and Staff of the Seasick Daily
wishes to express their sincere appreciation and thanks to Captain T.
J, Hess, Transportation Services Officer for his efforts and assistance in making this
paper worthwhile. Thanks Captain.
