FORMER ROURKE
MANAGER TOILS
INSHIPYARDS
Marty Krug, former manager of the
Omaha base ball club, it has been
learned, is not in the army or the
navy, as reported, but is working in
a shipyard.
Krug landed the shipbuilding job
shortly after he left Omaha last fall.
When Roufke made a deal to trade
Krug to St. Paul for Defate and
Pitcher Boardman, Krug gave out a
statement that he would not report
to St. Paul or any other team. This
led to a report that he intended to n
list in the service, and a later report
said he had enlisted.
But the real facts are that Krug
has a shipbuilding job and intends to
stick' with it.
Several other .Rourkes of last year
are building ships. Shag Thompson,
center fielder last year, is working in
a shipyard in Chester, Pa. Morrie
Schick, who played right field half of
tl e season, jumped the Los Angeles
club the other day to take up the same
work. Wayne Barham, pitcher, who
remained with Omaha ifitil 10 days
after the season opened and was then
sent to Vancouver', is another ship
builder. : ' '
