JOHNSON SPEAKS UP
American League President Would
Have Draft Dodgers Yanked Into
Service by the Coat Collar.

Chicago, May 17.--Baseba1l play
ers of the major leagues who have
sought employment in shipyards and
other industries in an apparent at
tempt to evade military service
should be yanked into the army by
the coat collar" President Ban John
son Of the American league said in
a statement given out here last night.
President Johnson said he had
taken up the question with Charles
M. Schwab, who is in charge of the
governments shipbuilding program,
and that the latter assured him that
no overtures would be made to play
ers in Glass Al to engage in ship
building work.
The American league does not
desire to impugn the motives of the
players who have gone into this
work." President Johnson said.
Some of them are patriotic. But if
there are any of them who are in
Glass Al I hope Provost Marshal
Gen. Crowder yanks them from the
shipyards and steel works by the
coat collar and places them in can
tonments to prepare for future events
on the western 'front.'
Joe jackson. star outfielder of the
Chicago club, is the latest American
league player to engage in the ship
building industry. When informed
by his exemption board in Greenville,
S. c., that he had been advanced
from Glass 4 to Glass 1 Jackson went
to work in plant at Wilmington,

The American league has lost
more than seventy players in the
draft and through enlistment and ex-
poets to lose more, but it does not
of players trying to evade
SERVICE President Johnson
said. Some of them apparently have
been badly advised"
President Johnson received word
from Connie Mack, manager of the
Philadelphia Athletics, that neither
Merlin Kopp, outtielder, nor Pitcher
Bob Geary had left his club to en-
gage in shipbuilding work, as had
been reported
Another ugly feature of the ship
building league is that players are
using offers made by agents from the
Bethlehem league as club to get
higher salaries There are at least
a half dozen we'll known occurrences
in the two major leagues where play
ers have used Bethlehem Steel COM
pany offers to get bonuses or larger
salaries out of their present employ
ers. Quite a few players have mott j
fed their clubs that they, intended to
go. into shipbuilding work, only to
have it announced a few days later
hat they had changed their minds. !
The reason was obvious.

THORMAHLEN WORKS
LIKE A VETERAN
Yankees Recruit Hurler Pitches
Alright Game Against Browns

New York, May 17.-Having had
their little fling in Wednesdays game
the YankBrowns on Fielder Jones'
ST Louis team lost much of their
punch on the Polo lawn yesterday
and were as harmless as kittens. They
were docile creatures when they went
to bat, and as a result Herb Thor
mahlen, the Yankees kid southpaw,
pitched one of the classics of the
Harlem season. Herb beat the
Browns by the minimum score of 1
to 0, incidentally swapping the win
young man from Lerado, Tex, had
won five straight games.
It was the first game that Thor
ynahEen has started on the Harlem
green this season, and his work was
almost as sensational as in the near
no hit game he pitched against the
Red So1 in Boston, when he was de-
feated by Joe Bush In the ninth IN
ming by a score Of 1 to 0.
In the Boston game Herb permit
ted only two hits, both made in the
ninth inning. while yesterday he per-
n1ttted four, but two were scratches
and three could have been f1elded.
The only legitimate hit prodded out
OF the young left handler was a, single
which Tim Hendryx bored through

Going Grows Harder.

Cincinnati, May 17.-Not only did
the Cincinnati team yesterday qualify
as a winner of consecutive gamesA
scoringzyits seventh straight victory,
but it inflicted the first defeat of the
season on Jeff Tesreau and registered
the second shutout suffered by tho
Giants. The score was 8 to O.
The Reds not only beat Tesreau .bTt
they drove him off the mound at the
close Of the sixth inning, and halted
him after he had pitched five winning
games in a row. -
AS was the case in Wednesdays
game, Ed Roush, the league batting
champion, and Sherwood and Lee.
Magee were chiefly responsible for the
runs collected by the Reds, while the
pitching Of Fred Toney was an eff
fective bar to run getting by the
Giants. Groh and Neale did brilliant
work behind Toney.
The New Workers had plenty of
chances to bat in runs, but the needed
hits were not forthcoming at the
psychological moment.
The score:
New York .0oooooooo-o Z o
Cincinnati .100002O0x-3 II II
