classed as nonproductivc occupation
by the Brighton local draft board to-
day in deciding test case brought by
John Henry. catcher for tho Boston Ma
tional League baseball team. against
Provost Marshal General Crowder's

The board found that the amount Of
relief from war strain furnished by

rcGistrant in his affidavit and that
haschalrs financial contribution TO the
war was TO larger materially than the
voluntary sacrifices OF many millions
of citizens"
All three members OF the board
arc agreed in the finding that
baseball is nonp-oduc'ive oc-
cuna'ion but one OF them. Jus
tice Thomas ". Connolly. recommends
that Catcher Henry be not required to

that lie could not do so without sub
stantial financial loss TO himself or
