WASHINGTON, July 19. Profes
sional baiteball players of the draft
age must work or fight immediately
and the draU regulations may be
changed soon to Include theatrical
performers and moving picture play
ers and enrployes among those must
seek new jobs or face induction into
the army.
Secif tary Baker in an unquali
fied decision holding the game a non
productive occupation and saying,
so far from amending the regulation
to exempt ball players he believed
the scope of its provisions "should
be so enlarged as to Include other
clashes of persons whose professional
occupation is solely that of enter
taining." Legitimate theatrical per
formers were specifically exempted
in, the original work or fight order
of the provost marshal general, aau
a recent ruling placed In this clan
actors and skilled men employed in
producing pictures.. ....
Thsecretary's decision was given
on an appeal of the ease of Edward
Ainsmith. veteran catcher of the
Washington-American league cfub
whose deferred classification on ac
count tf a dependant wife and child
recently was revoked by a local draft
board. All arguments against the
ruling and in favor of a suggestion
that the regulation should be mod
ified In favor of the national sport
were swept aside by Mr. Baker. He
held that baseball as a business doe
not differ from other civilian peace
time Industries which must make sac-
IficcT In th stress of war, and-
moreover, that it is by no means cer
tain that so many players are of
draft age that the organization will
be disrupted.
TENF.R WILL COMPLY
CINCINNATI. July 19. Presi
dent John K. Tener of the National
League, after reading Secretary of
War Baker's announcement, made
the following statement:
"I have read Secretary Baker's de
cision In full and baseball Interests
will comply with the finding In spirit
as well as In action.
We feel, .however, some provision
should be made that would give us
time to determine whether or not
the clubs can proceed under the sug
gestion made by Secretary Baker or
whether we will close out our busi
ness entirely and we will request the
war department to make Its ruling
more definite as it concerns this
point-
-My personal opinion is that If
every ball player between the ages
of 21 and 31 is forced to cease play
ing ball at once, professional base
balls parks will have to close their
gates immediately."
LOSS WILL RE LARGE
CHICAGO, July 19. Whether or
ot baseball will continue in the Am
erlcan League with players above or
below the draft age will be left to
the administration, according to Ben
Johnson, president of the American
League, In a statement made public
tonight. The order will take ap
proximately from 83 to 90 per cent of
tne league's players, the statement
said.

deered by the government for the
use of the English army. Gooseber
