BASEBALL FEELS
HEAVY HAND OF
Chicago. April 4. (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.

Jap Sailors Told
To Think Longer
Before Hara-Kari
Washington, April 4. (U.R)
The Japanese navy Is suffering
such heavy losses of manpower
that Hirohito's sailors are being
told to think twice before com
mitting hara-kari.
The office of war Information
passed along that bit of news
today in a lengthy report on the
Japanese fleet based on informa
tion from the U. S. navy and
other government departments.
"The willingness of Japanese
to commit hara-kiri is no longer
considered a virtue because so
many of the navy's best sailors
have done away with them
selves," the report said.
Japanese sailors now are sup
posed to commit hara-kiri only
when they are drifting in the sea
and are about to be taken pris
oner by allied ships.
