BAN JOHNSON TAXES SHOT AT SLACKERS American League Proxy Gets on Necks of Players
 Who Dodge Draft

Chicago, May 16-Baseball players of the major leagues who have sought employ ment in shipyards and other war indus tries in an apparent attempt to evade military service should be yanked into the army by the coat collar, President Ban Johnson of the American league said in q statement given out here tonight.
 Johnson said he had taken up the question with Charles M. Schwab, who is in charge of the governments shipbuild- ing programme, and that the latter as- sured him that no overtures would be made to players in Class l to engage in shipbuilding work.
 The American league does not desire to impugn the motives of the players who have gone into this work" Johnson said some of them are patriotic. But If there are any of them who are in class Al, I hope Provost Marshal General Crowder yanks them from the shipyards and steel works by the coat collar and places them in cantonments to prepare for future events on the western front. "
 Joe Jackson, star outfelder of the Chi cago club, IS the latest American league player to engage in the shipbuildlng in- dustry. When informed by his exemp- tion board in Greenville, s. C., that he had been advanced from Class to Class Ii, Jackson went to work in a plant at Wilmington, Del,
 "The American league has lost more than 70 players in the draft and through enlistments and expects to lose more' put it does not approve of players trying to evade military service" Johnson said.

 The Chicks earned one of their runs in the third inning on Allison's fluke two-bagger and Caruthers drive over third also for a couple of sacks. The other two counters, however, came en- tirely as the result of Baronial misplays, not a single hit being recorded off Glazner in the innings in which they were scored. The Barons had a fine chance to win the game in the fourth frame, but fate was against them and a fast double play killed all hopes. Again in the sixth, with Altenberg on third and Duncan on second, Bernsen hit a weak grounder to second for the third out. Altenberg and Duncan made all the hits save one for the Barons, the only other Baron to reach first being Bernsen, who hit past second on the hit and run play.

ARRIVED AT AN AGREEMENT
FUNERAL SERVICES
OF TOM CLAYTON

The funeral services of Private
Thomas Shelton Clayton, at the
Christian church Tuesday afternoon,
caused deep emotion, even to those to
whom his family were only casual ac-
quaintances.
The remains of the young soldier,
brought home by his father from
Camp Sewer, lay in their casket,
covered with the Flag, before the
altar. Beautiful music was softly
rendered by the church choir. Rev.
c. E. Wyatt, the dead boys former
pastor, and Rev. r. F. Rogers, for
years a friend of the family, paid
touching and eloquent tributes to the
departed. Few dry eyes were in the
congregation when the services were
finished.
The relatives and friends then came
forward for last look at the face of
the dead, after which the casket was
closed and the remains were borne to
their last resting place in Greenwood.
A long hae of cars followed the
hearse, and when the young soldier
was laid by the side of his brother,
both to await the reveille of the
resurrection, his grave was covered
from sight with the most beautiful
flowers.
Young Clayton was a Woodman,
and the following members of Fort
King Camp were his pall-bearers: NJ.
M. Little, C. X. Sage, L. H. Pillans,
w. w. Stripping, w. L. Colbert and P.
w. Whiteside. The big bell at the fire
station was tolled while the funeral
cortege passed from the church to the
cemetery.
Verify Fraser C. Clayton and wife
have had their share of affiction,
but their hearts are yet full of pat
riotism, and there is nothing they
have they will not give for America.
