INDIANAPOLIS—(ALNS)—Department headquarters should be receiving informational packets for planning the observance of American Education Week by July 1, according to Robert H. Patty, deputy director for Children and Youth, The American Legion. Patty says American Education Week will be Nov. 13-19 this year, and will focus on the problems of violence and vandalism in schools and improving reading skills among America's youth. The American Legion, its Auxiliary, the U.S. Office of Education and The National Congress of Parents and Teachers are co-sponsorn of the program; all "working together for education." -alns- "YOUR AMERICAN LEGION -- IT'S GREAT TO KNOW YOU BELONG" QMERICAN LEGION NEWS SERVICE w NATIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS DIVISION —THE AMERICAN LEGION C.

Rogers has urged the Joint House Senate Defense Conference Committee to "weigh carefully" budget cuts proposed for the Navy's Project SEAFARER. The budget cuts were proposed by the House of Representatives. In a telegram to Senator John C. Stennis, chairman of the Joint Committee, and the other 24 members, Commander Rogers said, "The Navy has a definitive need for the SEAFARER program. It provides a secure, reliable method of communication to our nuclear submarines without exposing them to threat of detection by the Soviet Navy. The technology does not now exist for an alternative form of communication." The Committee is beginning to consider the defense authorization bill that will allow the armed forces to provide for the national defense. -alns- WASHINGTON—(ALNS)—American Legion National Adjutant William F. Hauck has urged the Joint Conference Committee of the U.S. Congress to support the program approved by the House Armed Services Committee to increase manning levels of U.S. Army units, primarily NATO. The Joint Conference Committee is made up of thirteen senators and twelve congressmen. Hauck's message to the legislators followed a telephone call from Legion National Commander William J. Rogers expressing doubt that the understrength Ameri- can units would be able to perform their NATO assignments. Rogers is currently visiting European American Legion posts. The Adjutant said the Legion supports a recommendation of the House Armed Services Committee that would set Army strength at a stable 790,000 and added that the increase would alleviate the understrength situation in units assigned to NATO and improve the overall force structure in the European theater. -alns- ST. PAUL, MINN.—(ALNS)—Nearly 2,300 Minnesota youngsters between the ages of eleven and thirteen will be the guests of the Minnesota Department, The Ameri- can Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, and other civic groups this summer at the fortieth annual season of weekly training sessions for school safety patrol members. The eleven sessions begin June 12 at the Legionville Training Center, located on a lake in the northern part of the state. The training center was built by the Minne- sota Department in the mid-1950's. The safety patrolmen will receive training in school patrol procedures from members of the Minnesota Highway Patrol and training center staff personnel in both classrooms and simulated crossings built to teach proper procedure as well as school bus patrol safety training. -alns- m 0MERICAN LEGION NEWS SERVICE NATIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS DIVISION—THE AMERICAN LEGION C.

C. 20006 0 (317) 635-8411 (202) 393-4811 For release 6-3-77 WASHINGTON—(ALNS)—The American Legion's director for economics, Austin E. Kerby, has been named to a nineteen member steering committee designed to generate broad-based support for the HIRE (Help through Industry Retraining and Employment) program of the federal government. The steering committee was formed during a White House meeting with President Carter, Labor Secretary F. Ray Marshall and other representatives of government, business and veterans organizations. Responsibilities of the committee will include the coordination of a White House conference to launch the HIRE program, and personal contact with business leaders to obtain commitments for corporate participation in the program. The HIRE program, an adjunct of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA), is part of the President's economic recovery package aimed at private sector job and training opportunities through major employers, for specifically targeted groups. Aimed primarily at two veterans groups — unemployed disabled veterans, unemployed Vietnam-era veterans, with unemployed non-vets entitled to veterans preference (e.g. spouses of veterans killed in action) included in the veteran category, the program also seeks to aid economically disadvantaged youth, and long term unemployed low-income persons. Under the program, the Department of Labor seeks involvement of large, multi- regional businesses capable of hiring and training persons from these specific categories. HIRE is designed with two major components, reimbursable and voluntary. The first component is available to firms wishing to be compensated for the costs incurred in training target group members on the job, and the second component (voluntary) is available to those firms willing to employ those individuals without any compensation. Employers participating in the voluntary side of the program will not be obliged to develop special OJT courses, and will be asked only to sign a pledge affirming their intent to hire individuals from these groups and to abide by general program guidelines. -alns- INDIANAPOLIS—(ALNS)—The Department of Maryland became the fifth department so far this year to surpass its official 1976 membership figure, and in so doing established an all-time high membership for the eleventh year in a row, Membership and Post Activities Director Robert W. Spanogle reports. The Maryland department has exceeded its previous years' membership for sixteen consecutive years, a recent American Legion record. So far this year, Maryland Adjutant Daniel Burkhardt reports membership at 56,346, compared with 56,333 at the close of last year's books. All four Maryland districts continued to exceed previous all-time highs, includ- ing the Northeastern Shore which set an all-time high for the 22nd continuous year, in the words of the state adjutant, "a remarkable achievement." -alns- 131 0MERiCAN LEGION NEWS SERVICE NATIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS DIVISION —THE AMERICAN LEGION C.

    Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports Volume 4, Issue 1 2008 Article 1 Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair, Yale University Recommended Citation: Fair, Ray C. (2008) "Estimated Age Effects in Baseball," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 4: Iss. 1, Article 1. DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1074 ©2008 American Statistical Association. All rights reserved. Brought to you by | Yale University Library New Haven (Yale University Library New Haven) Authenticated | 172.16.1.226 Download Date | 3/28/12 11:34 PM Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear fixed-effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more "full-time" years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and field, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on.

    The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, April 21, 2020 * The Boston Globe Red Sox will pay full-time employees through May Peter Abraham The Red Sox informed full-time employees Monday that their salaries are guaranteed through at least May 31. The decision was made after Major League Baseball informed teams that commissioner Rob Manfred will suspend uniform employee contracts as of May 1. That gives teams the option to furlough baseball operations employees or cut their salaries because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That includes major- and minor-league managers, coaches, scouts, trainers, and other staff members, about 9,000 in people in all across baseball. “Our clubs rely heavily on revenue from tickets/concessions, broadcasting/media, licensing, and sponsorships to pay salaries,” Manfred wrote in an e-mail to teams, a copy of which was obtained by the Associated Press. “In the absence of games, these revenue streams will be lost or substantially reduced, and clubs will not have sufficient funds to meet their financial obligations.” The Red Sox have declined that option for at least the next six weeks. Based on the team’s 2020 media guide, the Sox have approximately 400 full-time employees, including baseball operations. Various outlets have reported that the Astros, Blue Jays, Braves, Brewers, Cardinals, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Giants, Mariners, Marlins, Phillies, Reds, Rockies, Royals, Tigers, Twins, and White Sox also will continue to pay at least their baseball operations employees. Most of the others are expected to make that commitment in the coming days. Some small-market teams could resort to cost-cutting measures as baseball, like so many other businesses, deals with a lack of revenue due to the game being shut down.
