WANTS BALL PLAYERS EXEMPTED
In Order to Keep Up High Standard of
the Game"

Chicago, Nov 22.-Exemption for 2ss
baseball players--ls from each of the IL
clubs of the American and National
leagues be asked of the government
| it was announced last night by President
johnson of the American league, who
declared that the high standard of the
game would be destroyed If the players
were indiscriminately drafted for mill
tary service.
President johnson said the American
league would willingly sacrifice the re-
naming players on its roster If the clubs
were permitted to retain Is selected
men. As the player limit was 25 last
season, seven men from each club would
be available for military duty.
Neither the American nor National
leagues could hope to keep up the usual
high standard of the game if some of the
clubs were riddled through the draft and
|other teams, composed of older and per-
haps married men, were untouched" I"
Johnson said. Baseball is eager to do
its part, but we would like to be assured
of players of quality on every club. 9th
erwise the pennant races would be very
onesided
"Take for instance the championship
of the team called in the first draft was
exempted because of dependencies The
team probably will be intact next season
as majority Of the players are married
or have other dependents"
The American league executive pointed
out, however, that some of the other
clubs, principally the Cleveland, Phila
delphia and Boston clubs, have been seri
ously hit as a result of the war. Three
Cleveland club according to latest re-
ports. has lost ten men in the draft and
Philadelphia stands to lose six. Three
or four members of the Boston club, in
cuding Manager Jack Barry, are in the
navy.
President Johnson's announcement is |
taken to mean that the league if the de- |
sired players are exempted will attempt |
to go through the season with only Is
men, exclusive of manager, on every |
,lub
The club owners will meet here on De
,ember ~ to consider schedule, and
adopted a war policy. President johnson
warned that retrenchment would be
necessary as baseball, he said, faced a
desperate situation. He said that the
wo major leagues and possibly two or
hree of the larger minor leagues would
,e the only organizations to take the
ield next season.
The American league executive stated
that the league would play a
40 game schedule next season, instead !
f $50 games as has been the rule for |
ears. The season probably will open
bout May three weeks later than I
sual.

MAY RELIEVE ITALY
Is the Belief Expressed in Some Quarters
in Washington.

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 22.-oficial
Washington was deeply stirred as press
bulletins began to unfold the scope of
the smashing British victory on the
western front. II was evident in all
quarters that officials generally regard
ed this as the greatest blow dealt the
Germans since the war started. They
wre especially inspired by the dash and
power displayed by Field Marshal Haig's
great war machine as the brief bulletins
from the front pictured events from
hour to hour.
There were hints in some quarters of
previous information indicating that a
shortage of ammunition contributed to
the German defeat
The German high command. it was
said, in this connection, had counted ab.
solutely upon winter and French and
British forces transferred to support the
shaken Italian lines as making impos-
sible any major offensive on the western
front at this time.
