"Rain and wet grounds have stopped many ball games, but not the army. The Jefferson Barracks Reception Center Missions found their diamond under 3 feet of water yesterday, but started playing anyway. At bat is Corporal George Sisler Jr., while the pitcher is Technical Sergeant Norvall Hunthausen and the catcher Private Tom Cohen. The umpire is Maj. Thomas Hammond, classification officer."
