Griffith Is Gratified

Manager Grifith was gratified at
learning the attitude of Secretary
Baker in regard to the playing of the
post-season classic.
Tho Secretary OF War has not yet
issued a formal ruling. in regard to
the world series, but his statement
shows he is not opposed to the games
and the indications are they will be
played" the Washington leader said
today. .-
"Mr. Bakers attitude comes as no
surprise to me. I have contended
right along that the Secretary fully
appreciated the fact that base ball is
a national institution; that as such he
had the interests of the game at heart
and wanted to see 1t, be maintained.
1t is clear that Mr.. Baker never in
tended to interfere with the sport ex-
cept in 50 far as the demands Of war
necessitated. His views in regard to
the world series will be indorsed by
millions of the fans who look forward
each year to the post-season games
and will please a great majority of
the tens of thousands of our boys now
serving the country abroad The SOL
oASio oSCtSSao nave DScn represented
in some quarters as being incensed at
the spectacle of ployers continuing their
diamond activities while they have
sacrificed everything and are risking
their lives in the trenches. but a great
majority Of them appreciate the fact
that those remaining are men with
families to support: that they are en-
/, titled to deferred classffcations and
that they can better provide for their
dependents by playing ball than in
any other manner. 1t is safe to say
that no news aside from letters from
home. will be received with greater
| interest by large majority of our
boys oversean than accounts of the
world series. I have a desk stacked
up with letters from France which
substantiates this belief"
