SUSPEND WORLD SERIES
Ban johnson Thinks Draft VIII Pre-
vent Playing 1t This Year.

Chicago. July 2S.-There is likely
to be no worlds series this year as
result of TIE drain on major league
baseball players by the draft. B. B.
Johnson, president of he American
league, said here on his return from
New York. He said that tabulation
of draft numbers held by players
showed that probably twenty-five
men would be taken from the Ameri-
can league and that the American
league would not play the series if 1t
We're handicapped by that serious
loss.
The league president also stated
that he had learned that the military
drilling installed by the league early
in the season would not cause the
war department to extend exemptions
to ball PLAYERS until the end of the
season. His information, Mr.. John
son declared, was that the ball play
ers would be drafted to the colors
about September ].

BUILDING FEW WOODEN CARS
Only Three Constructed During Year

Building of wooden railway cars has
virtually ceased, according to a report
issued by the special committee on re-

latiOn. Only three wooden cars were
built In 1916 and but ten are under con-
structiOn at present.
There are now in passenger service
$4,000 wooden cars, but they are gradu-
ally being replaced. The report shows
that the enormous cost Of replacing
wooden cars by steel coaches prevents
wholesale changes. but it adds that II
