NOTES

Frank Schultz continues to deliver
the hits for Clark Griffith.
Charley Deals eyes are better and
his hitting has started to improve.
Despite the war the Cleveland In
dams are drawing good crowds at
home.
Home Run Baker is giving Babe
Ruth a battle for top batting honors
in the American league.
Dick Maynard, the Amherst college
star catcher and outfielder, has been
signed by the st. Louis Cardinals.
The Indians are becoming very par
tial to the squeeze play and are using
it with much success in close games.
CIV Williams has added considerably
to the batting strength of the Phillies.
He has his eye on the pill, which rare
ly gets by him.

Connie Mack says he has no inten-
ton of starting the war between the
two major leagues again, but he In
tends to keep Perry.
Frank Snyder, catcher with the St.
Louis Nationals, has been ordered to
report to his draft board and De in
Quoted into the army.
President Ebbets of the Brooklyn
Nationals is another magnate who is
looking around for pitchers and doesn't
know where to find them.
+
Pitcher Howard McGranor Of Sioux
CITY has gone to Chillicothe, O., his
home, where he has been called by his
draft board to report for service.
Roger Bresnahan, president of the
Toledo American association club, has
suggested to the league that games be
played in the army environments.
The Cardinals have number of
players on their roster who are In
Class La of the draft, but none of these
has been notified to join the colors.
st. Louis fans are greatly excited
over a statement emanating from Con-
ME Mack that in his opinion the
Browns would win the American league
pennant.
1t always makes player happy to
succeed against his old team. But
think of George Burns with a flock of
five hits, including a double and a
triple, at Detroit.
Joe Wood likes to play in the out
field and he's one pitcher who has
made good as a protean artist. Joe
can change from a pitcher to a gar
dener without blinking an eye or get
ting the least bit fused.

SMITH FAMILY IN LEAD
IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES

Two Smiths, who were promi-
nent in the major leagues last
season, are now in the army.
Sherrod Smith of the Robins is
''over there" and Elmer Smith
with Washington and Cleveland,
is in a camp in the middle West.
However, the Smith family still
leads all others in numbers of
representatives in the major
leagues. The Boston Braves
have J. CaxIsle Smith and
Jimmy Smith. The Reds in
clude Pitcher George Smith and
Catcher Harry Smith. The st.
Louis Cardinals have Jack
Smith, and the st. Louis
Browns, Earl Smith, Jimmy
Smyth is with the Cardinals,
but the family does not need a
ringer with a ''y" to maintain
it's lead. No other family ap-
proaches the figure set by the
Smiths.

one of these butt-ins came up.
''Who you gonna pitch today,

"Say, for the love of Mike"

from his pocket, "take this nick
ell and buy you a score card and

Draft Boards Exempt.

Hartford, Aug. 7.--Major John Buckley state director of the draft, announced today that. if the draft age were raised, men affected whose names are registered in his office as government appeal agents and as members of local and district boards would be placed in Class 8 on the ground that they were necessary en- ployes in the service of the United States.
 This ruling will affect a large num- Der, in view of the probability that the maximum draft age will be placed at 45 years. Major Buckley was asked what the attitude of the gov ernment was likely to be should To- cal or district board member, or government appeal agent, elect to re- sign his position and enter the ranks of the National Army.
 Such men could submit their res ignations, of course, but they would not find it easy to get their resigna- tions approved" the major replied. Board members and government ap- peal agents can render more valuable service by continuing their draft work than by entering the ranks"

not to disturb the present draft system and to avoid calling men who had been given exemption, extension of the draft ages is necessary.
 From General March's testimony and other information received the committee has gained the impression that while all men between the ages of IS and 45 will be subject to min- tary duty under the law, it is proposed that those between IS and 20 years of age shall be kept in this country until the last.
 Upon suggestion of Senator Wads- worth that the draft system be ex- tended to the navy Senator Chamber lain announced that either Secretary Daniels or Admiral Benson would be asked to appear before the committee to decide the advisability of the sub- ject.
 General March said the shipment of men overseas would be continued ac- cording to the program now in effect for the present.
