American League Mogul Says Time is Ripe for Dis cussion of the Base

 Chicago, November 22.-President John son of the American league said today that his remarks on exemption for se- lected baseball players yesterday were designed to open up discussion of the sub ject as clearly the life of certain clubs, if not for the leagues, was menaced' by the draft.
 We were ready last spring to close every ball park but no need for this was seen by the government" said MT. Johnson. Ut is clearly understood that the draft law is not designed to wreck any business. The President does not want that to happen. Hence the time seems ripe for discussion of just how the law would be administered to give baseball precisely the same safeguards that are afforded other businesses"
 MT Johnson said he had no specific comment to make on the views of Presi- dent Tener of the National league.

Chairman of National Com mission Surprises Base ball Men by Plain
 Statement

Cincinnati, November 22.-"organ- ized baseball has already done a great deal for the cause and if continued will do a great deal more,' said Au- gust Hermann, chairman of the na- tional commission here today. "As l understand it, the President of the United States has stated that sports of all kinds should be continued and encouraged. yet after all, we must realize that baseball and all lines of sport in this great crisis must be placed on an equal plane.
 '.The suggestion that the player linn itation of major league clubs be re- duced to IS meets with my positive fla vor. If the two leagues take action along these lines that in itself will remove to a great extent all the doubt now existing for the proper equip ment of major league clubs next year, for the reason that if some of the players are lost by the government requirements, as they will be, there will be a sufficient number left, in my Judgment, to properly equip and equalize the 16 major league clubs if the player limitation is reduced as suggeSted"

Auburn, November 22-(Special )--With the Vanderbilt game out of the way, Au- burn has accomplished one of the main objects of the football season. Winning against the strong Crimson and Missis- sippi A. and NJ. teams are other objects that have been successfully accomplished so that the season thus far has been very successful and the team is already sure of second place in the $. ]. A.. A. The remaining object is respectable showing against the very strong Tech team.
 All this has been done with the small est football squad available in the his- tory of Auburn. The authorities at Au- burn started in the fall with the idea of not using first-year players in any foot ball contest From the three upper classes there were exactly g out for football. Patriotism and injuries soon cut the number down to 19, so uniform was put on everyone out and he was christened a varsity man. It was simply that the 150 or more students that played class football last year were swept away by the call for service.
 Injuries and sickness so cut into the available squad that it was found after the A. and M. game, that II AuDurn wanted to be certain of carrying out it's schedule and of having Il players on the field in every contest it would be neces- sary to call on the eligible players from the freshman class to use in the Davidson and Ohio games. This was done, but it was too late to have any organization in the Davidson game, as was very evident No first year man was used in the Glenn son, Mississippi A. and M. or Vanderbilt games. As Tech and Auburn are both members of the southern conference no first year man can be used in that con test The same was true of Clemson.
 Auburn was weakened in the Clemson contest and will be in the Tech game by the loss of Trapp, who, while he is sophomore in full standing, nevertheless is technically ineligible. according to conference rules, because he did not matriculate early enough last year.
 As would be expected, squad of this kind would be made up of odds and ends. Some are very large and some very small. But it is a tribute to the team that only the large ones are ap- parently seen. Of the eight backs used in the Vanderbilt game five of them, Trapp, Donahue, Hall, Nall and Reving- ton. will not average over 135 pounds The ends are also light. Nearly all of the
