Says They Should Not 90 to War
on Account of Dependents-Can
do More Good at
Home.
REDUCE NUMBER GAMES
Most Ball Managers Want to Play 14o
Games Only This Season
There Are Few
Exceptions.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Ban Johnson,
president of the American league,
will ask the war department to grant
exemption from military service to
eighteen men on each of the sixteen
major league clubs, in order that
baseball may continue during the
war.
Johnson said that while almost
ninety percent of the major league
players are eligible to the draft, so
far as age is concerned, a majority
of them will come under class five
in the new classification because OF
dependents or physical defects. So
a request that eighteen men on each
club be exempt will not be asking
much Of the department, Ban thinks.
'The government wants the big
leagues to open in 1918 and therefore
1 am confident it will agree to some
sort of compromise that will permit
the sport" said Johnson.
with eighteen players to a team,
/ am sure we can maintain the stand
ard of the game; If I thought fewer
men could hold the interest Of the
public would suggest a smaller
number.
eff we are allowed to keep few
men who might be Of some value as
fighters, am confident they can be
of greater help to the government as
non combatants. If interest can be
maintained it will add to the war
revenue and there is chance that
the club owner and not the fan will
pay the ten percent assessment.
with military days and other
events we can stimulate recruiting as
I believe the American league did
last year with its daily exhibition of
drilling by the players"
Johnson announced that the annual
meeting of the American league will
be held here December IL, one day
after the National LEAGUE meeting Is
called in New York. The proposition
Of reducing the schedule from 1874 to
140 gam es Will be decided at the
two meetings. Johnson is in favor
Of the shorter season, as a war
measure. The majority OF the own
ers share his opinion, the notable ex-
ception being Charles Comiskey,
president Of the White Sox.

said Caddock in a message received
here today.
Caddock, who is travelling with the
Camp Dodge transforming troupe,
said the match with Hussane sched-
uled for last night was called off be-
cause he wanted to be in shane. He
explained his recent match with Doc
Roller by saying he knew he could

He is Fat and Lazy and Making Big
Money With a Circus-Why Go
to the Trouble Of
Fighting?
SCRAMBLE FOR TITLE
Whole Lot OF Small Fry Fighters
Want Chance to Stand In Will
Iard's Shoes-No Good
Talent.

Jess Willard, heavyweight cham
pion Of the world, has decided to quit
the ring, and If he sticks to his
pledge, he will be practically the only
worlds champion prize fighter to re-
tire while holding the highest laurels
the ring game offers. Jess, soon
after he licked Jack Johnson, became
side show with a circus. Now he
is the whole show.
Jess, at the present time tips the
beam we'll over the 800 mark. 1t
would require months of hard train
ing for him to reduce if match for
the championship were to be made.
Jess is an easy-going citizen. He
doesn't love hard work. The strenu-
Gus life in a training camp is not to
his liking. He doesn't have to fight
for the money in 1t. Jess has made
his pile. The circus IS adding to It.
No Opponent in Sight.
And in looking over the field Of
near-champfons, there isn't one on
the list who would make worthy
opponent for Willard The champion
wants $4,000 for his end If he is to
appear in the ring again. No pro-
moter would give that figure for a
contest between Willard and either
Fred Fulton. Carl Morris. Jim Cof-
fee, Bill Brennan or Billy Miske.
Outside of Fred Fulton there isn't
one Of this quintet who could ever
make Willard extend himself
And with Willard out of the race
there will be wild scramble to
crown another heavyweight title
holder. 1t will take months. maybe
years. before another champion
makes his appearance.
Champions Often Challenged.
Despite the fighting abilities Of
both Mike O'Dowd and Benny Leon
ard, middleweight and lightweight
champions respectively, there are
many of the present day fighters who
are hurting challenges at the two
titleholders.
O'Dowd has held the championship
less than a week. He is the more
sought after of the two little fell
lows" but it isn't likely that the
fighting Irishman" or the New York
champion will soon lose their hold
on their titles. Both are hard hit
tiers. They have easily disposed of
their opponents in recent battles.
