League President Says He Will Ask
Exemption for Some
of the Players.

CHICAGO. Nov 2l-Exemption for
2S8 baseball players-l8 from each of the
l6 clubs OF the American and National
leagues-wil be asked of the government,
it was announced tonight 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 military
service
President Johnson said the American
league would willingly sacrifice the remain
ing PLAYERS on its roster If the clubs were
permitted to retain IS selected men As
the PLAYER limit was p 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 We're untouched" John
son said Baseball IS eager to do its part,
but we would like to be assured Of players
Of quality on every club Otherwise, the
pennant races would be very one sided
Take for instance the championship
Chicago club Practically every member
of the team called in the first draft was
exempted because of dependency. The
team probably will be intact next season
as majority of the players have depend
ents'
The American league executive pointed
out, however, that some of the other
clubs, principally the Cleveland. Phladel-
phia and Boston clubs, has been seriously
hit as result of the war The Cleve-
| land club, according to latest reports, has
| lost 10 men in the draft and Philadelphia
| stands to lose six. Three or four members
of the Boston club. including Manager
| Jack Barry, are III the navy.
| President Johnson announcement is
taken to mean that the league il the
| desired players are exempted Will attempt
| to 60 through the season with only Is
men exclusive of manager on every
: club.
The club owners will meet here on De-
eember u to consider a schedule and adopt
war policy.
