(U.W Nick Etten, 30-year-old star first base man of the New York Yankees, was re-classified 1-A by his Chi cago draft board today as base ball began to feel the heavy hand of the selective service. Etten became the sixth big league player during the past four days to be either reclassi fied or called up for service by draft boards. The veteran Yankee, who fig ures prominently In Manager Joe McCarthy's plans this sea son, had been working In a war plant until last week when he reported for training camp. He had been deferred previously because he was employed In a critical Industry, but It was learned today that his board had shoved him Into 1-A. The draft board, explaining that Etten could appeal the de cision, refused to comment on whether Its action was connect ed with the war manpower com mission's recent ruling on base ball. The WMC said yesterday that Its earlier ruling permitting players to leave war jobs and return to baseball Is not binding on local draft boards. Players believed that the original WMC ruling was the go-ahead but their error was apparent today in the cases of six players. leagOestoplay ball onv-e day New York, April 4. (U.R) A proposal that the major and minor leagues call off their base ball games on V-E day found lit tle support among the. game's executives today. In contrast to D-Day when all schedules were cancelled, most league presidents seemed to feel that V-E Day should call for celebration with baseball parks a fit locale. Although the matter Is one for the club owners of each cir cuit to decide, major and minor league heads predicted nothing would be done about It. The pro posal was advanced unofficially by Sid Keener, sports editor of the St. Louis Star-Times. c 69 n B fl 1791 atfQa mum NIGHT BOUTS START 8:30 P. M. THRILLS SPILLS The Country..
