he came hurting down the field. but

PREXY JOHNSON
NOT APPROVED
Move to Exempt Players
Not Favored by Many
Citizens of Country.

Chicago, III. Nov. 23.-Offices OF the
American league were deluged here
Thursday with messages. some of
them approval and many OF them
criticisms over the announcement by
8. B. Johnson. president OF the
league. that exemptions for IA play
ers in the league viii be asked from
the national government
Baseball men were divided IN their
opinions Of the ACCESSIBILITY Of the
applications. August Herman, chair
man OF the national commission and
president Of the Cincinnati National
league club. favored the move If
necessary TO maintain baseball at its
present standard.
President Johnson insisted that the
ball players and club owners might

know whether they were going to be
able 70 keep their men

said II the government should take
nine men from one club and none from
another, the game would be a farce.
If we pooled players there would be
a cry OF syndicate baseball, so that
is out Of the question. We must face
the situation II the clubs are 10 con-

cases. the drafting Of one player

DISAPPOINTED
Will Not Have Opportunity
to See Army-Navy
Annual Clash.

An announcement, seeming an Of
fetal one that there viii be no
army-navy game this year. comes as
a sad disappointment to the followers
Of football
It had been hoped that despite ~
mors that the game would not be per
mltted, that the government officials
would reconsider the matter and al
low the game. There was good reason
for hope. because at both West Point
and Annapolis splendid teams have
been developed and a game between
them would be Of more than passing
interest.
The very fact that football is being
played by the army and navy led TO
the expectation that the annual and
always spectacular game would be
held as usual
In these times there is little DISPOSE
ton to criticize orders or TO offer pro-
tests. Americans are learning fast 70
90 along with the belief that wharev-
er is done is done tO- tie hes
people cannot help but wonder why
the army-navy game game that
would contribute more than 100000
10 any war fund-wIu not be per-
mitted.
No official reasons have been ad-
vanced. but the mere announcement
that the game will not take place
