International News Service
CHICAGO, May 22.-Other base
ball leagues are expected to follow
the example set by the American
league in subscribing TO the Lib
erty loan. While with the excep-
ton of the National league, other
associations may not be able TO
take 100000 worth OF the bonds. as
the American club owners propose 10
do. the total sum subscribed by all
may reach half a million or even
more.
The American league decision TO
play a series of games for the
benefit of the different army units
also is expected to induce similar
activities on the pare of clubs in
other leagues.
The first Of the benefit games will
be played in New York on June 10,
between the Yankees and the st.
Louis Browns. IL will be a cham
piOnship game. not an exhibition af-

be perfected similar Sunday games
