TESREAU CHUCKS JOB
He Quit Baseball Because He Thought
He Was Thru.
BY LACK VEIOCK.

New York. July 20.-Jeff Tesreau
quit the Giants to become a player in
the Steel league because he believed
he was thru as a major league pitcher.
This is the opinion of Secretary
John B. Foster of the New York club,
and altho Manager McGraw made no
especial comment on the unexpected
action of the ozark Bear" it is said
he was convinced that Tesreau had
just about reached the end of his
string and made no effort to hold him.
Big Jeff was in class Of the army
and had no reason to believe that he
would be drafted into service.
Another reason for Jeff's action was
the fact that he feared McGraw would
ask waivers on him.
Tesreau was in his seventh season
as a member of McGraw's pitching
staff when he chucked his job He
started with the Giants as a regular
in 1912 and won seventeen games
that year. losing but sven. His best
year with the New York club WIS

ATSHA\NNEELINKS CAME FACES DOOM
Secretary Baker Rules Able
Bodied Must "Work or Fight"
Decision Does Not Affect Actors
or Professional Entertainers.

Washington. July 20:-Professional
baseball players of draft age must
wCk or fight Immediately and the
draft regulations may be changed
soon to include theatrical performers
and moving picture players and en-
ployes among those to seek new jobs
or face induction into the army.
Secretary~ Baker settled the ques-
ton, so far as baseball is concerned.
today in an unqualified. decision nold-
ing the game reproductive occu
patton and saying SO far from amends
ing the regulations to exempt ball
players, he believed the scope of its
provisions should be so enlarged as
whose professional occupation is sole
ly that of entertaining"
Actors Still Exempt.
Legitimate theatrical performers
were specifically exempted in the
work or fight order of the provost
marshal general and recent ruling
placed in this class actors and skilled
men employed in producing moving
pictures.
The secretarys decision was given
on an appeal in the case of Edward
Ainsmith, veteran catcher of the
Washington American club, whose de-
ferred classification on account of a
ucPtiiu6AI VILE anu CIilIQ recently was
revoked by a local draft board. All
arguments against the ruling and iE
favor of a suggestion that the regu-
lation should be modified in favor of
the national sport were swept aside
by Mr.. Baker. He held that baseball
as business does not differ from
other civilian peace time industries
which must make sacrifices in the
stress of war, and, moreover, that it is
by no means certain that so many
players are of-draft age that the or
ganization will De disrupted.
As to the claim that baseball play
ers, having devoted themselves to the
game are not fitted to adequately sup
port their families by labor in other
lines, he said it is quite inconceivable,
in view of the fact that ball players
are men of unusual physical ability,
dexterity and alertness.
Able Bodied Men Must Work.
The point that baseball has been ac-
cepted as the national sport and is for
many workers and business men the
only opportunity for wholesome out
door relaxation and enjoyment, was
treated as serious one. But the sec
| rotary declared times were not nor
could be found and that, 'The nom

cannot be justified"
Leaves 1t to Administration.
Chicago. July 2o.-Whether or not
baseball will continue in the Ameri-
can league with players above and be-
low the draft age will be left to the
administration, according to Ban
| Johnson, president of the American
| league, in a statement made last night.
The order will take approximately S.
to 80 per cent of league players, the
statement declared
