CAN CONSCRIPTION
DEFEAT WHITE SOX

To what extent the conscription may
play its part in deciding the penant
races is evidenced in the case of the
White Sox- Death Valley Jim Scott
has announced he will probably be
ordered to report at an officers train
ing camp late this month He has
passed the physical examination. Jim
says he realizes he would be Of some
value to Comiskey's crowd, but feels
that his duty calls him to put on
the uniform of Uncle Sam in place
OF the one he now wears on the base
ball field. The loss of Scott may play
a large part But then there are
Gendil. Weaver. Felsh and Scott who
have also been called for examination
for the new conscripted army. All
are married and will claim exemption,
as far as can be learned. but whether
they will be able to get on Is not
certain Other clubs are all affected.

Exemption Board Finds Baseball
Stars Fingers Crooked.

New York, Aug. &-The idea that
all ballplayers must be physically fit
for service in the army appears to be
erroneous. Heinie Groh, third base
man Of the Cincinnati Reds. received
orders several days ago to report for
examination, and Heinie reported.
He got away well In the physical
test until one of the examiners noted
that his fingers were not as straight
as they should be. At various times
during his baseball career Groh had
smashed his fingers in fielding batted
or thrown balls. and they did not
cock back" As a result Groh was
rejected by the examining board.
August Hermann, president of the
Cincinnati club. made this announce
ment shortly after his arrival here
to attend meeting Of the National
Commission. II the same rule is to
be followed, 1t means that several
ballplayers who are otherwise physi-
cally Mt will be rejected by the ex-
amining boards.

Griffs Capture First Game
From Rowland's Tribe
Nationals Hand White Sox
Crew Zeros and Harper
Annexes Victory.

That cocked-eyed, Or south end OF
the Grirmen's batting order sure can
bust that old pill II there Is any doubt
just ask Eddie Cicotte. hurier extra
ordinary OF the Chicago White sox
as the Nationals stepped into the
slants Of this ''shine-balr' HEAVIER and
annexed yesterdays contest to the
winning side Of the ledger from the
Windy City outfit by a 2-to-0 count.
The assortment that Cicotte was serv-
ing up proved easy pickinss for ouE
lads. as they stepped into his twisters
and pushed through tallies In the sec
ond and fifth session.
II was a pitchers duel over the
route with Harry Harper. the Hack
ensack metal dealer. having easily the
best of the argument Grifr's lanky
southpaw sure had some OF the old
zip on his metal-plated delivery, as
three stingy little bingles was the
allotment that Harry handed Pants
Rowland's tribe. Two Of these bin
giles are carded among the variety Of
scratch hits. Buck Weaver being the
only one in that White Stocking out
ft that got anything near the resem-
blance Of a clean blow.
Har3er was given extraordinary sup
port, as Sammy Rice made a sensa-
tional catch OF Cicottes line drive in
the third inning while Howard Shanks
made himself good enough 1uggler
to appear on any Keith stage, by gath
ering In J. Collins smash in the sixth
inning.
Outside Of the lucky seventh Harper
was never In danger. but Buck Weaver
opened this session with slashing
drive in Menoskey's way, E. Collins
then forced Weaver at the midway
station. Eddie took on q little Of his
airplane stuff and stole second base.
but '.Shoeless" Joe jackson and Hap
py FeIsch went out in the order
named.
Il was the ationals' ball game from
the opening gong. as the local crew
positively would not allow this Cicotte
person to get away with his wish on
the "shine ball." but it must be
stated that his wild heaves, while
acting as the master Of ceremonies
for the Sox, helped the Griffmen to
put their first tally over in the second
inning. In the fifth 1t was a case OF
stepping into the famous slants Of
Cicotte, as three singles in row
netted the Nationals another tally and
a fast double play killed on chances
of the locals gathering any more runs
The first run was a gift Sammy
Rice obtained a blow to left field in
the third and when Cicotte attempted
to catch him mapping on the first sack
he threw over Gandil's head and Sam
my pulled up at the far corner. Fos-
ter popped out. but Morgan hit to
Weaver and Rice beat his throw to
the disk.
"Fatima" Foster led OF in the fifth
with a drive to left field and went to
third when Morgan slashed one
through the center garden Eddie
Charity then came through with an
other hlow and "Fatima'' tailed while
Morgan moved to second. A fast
double play, jackson to Risberg. killed
on the chances in this session. The

ers by August 20.

New York. Aug. S-Players farmed
out to minor league clubs by the
majorts will not have to report
back by August 20 this year. 1t became
known here today. BY a special rul-
ing the National Commission has
made the recall Of players optional
with the big league clubs. The old
rule was made to protect such players
from the draft. but owing to condi-
tions that have arisen as a result Of
the war the commission deemed II ad-
visable to change the code.
Players under contract to major
league clubs will be protected. and the
minor league clubs with which they
are playing will benefit by retaining
their services until the pennant races
are finished.
