WOULD SKATER BALL TEAMS
Estimated That 40 Major League
Players Are Subject to Service
Under SeIective Draft.

Something like 10 major league
baseball players are subject to army
service under the selective draft, this
being the estimate of an official The
players liable to service are about
equally divided between the two
leagues. 1t is the custom of baseball
players to keep their age down to
about thirty, even when they are
known TO be considerably older, but
even at that there are good many
youngsters playing on the big teams
who are between twenty-one and
thirty.
There seems to be bare chance
TINT the ball teams will not be dis
ruptcd this season. OF the players who
could be taken, probably 80 or GO
would be exempt for one reason or
another. The remaining total would be
insignificant compared with the size
of the army to be raised and officials

Major League Pitchers Establish New
Record in THIS Department Of Pro-

The four no-hit games hurled by
major league pitchers during the first
month Of 1917 season have established
new record In this department of
professional baseball The major
league annals show that the greatest
number of no-hit games pitched in
any one season was in 1908, when
there were four IN the American and
two in the National league. In 1900
