BAN B. STATES
HIS OPINION
American League President
Hands Out Views on
Work or Fight

Chicago June 2l.-Ban johnson,
president of the American League,
expressed 1t as his opinion that the
Provost Marshal General makes re-,
commendation to the President who
has the final word, in commenting
on the "nonessential'' verdict given
baseball by Provost Marshal Gem
eral William H. Crowder today.
81 cannot understand the state
ment that the game is nonproduc-
tive" he said. when the two ma
jor leagues will deliver to the gov
ernment war taxes in excess of
100000. The ball players. umpires
club stockholders and others con-
nected with the game have bought
more than $6,000.000 worth of lib
erty bonds. Where is there another
class of men earning so much for
the government"
Whenever the government Of the
United States says that baseball
shall cease. We will close our gates
during the period OF the war with
out complaint" was the statement
of Charles A. Comiskey.
All baseball players will be per-
mitted to finish the current season.
In other words, the work or fight"
order Of the government will not af-
feet those players who are not call
ed for service in the national army
by the draft. Maj: Gen. Enoch H.
Crowder, provost marshal general.
has placed all the ball players in
the class of men engaged in mon
productive" occupations. but under
special Presidential authority they
will be permitted to complete the
present season with their respec-
tive teams before going into some
essential line of work or joining the
army.
This announcement will be well
coined by the army of fans who have
been impatiently awaiting a deci-
sion as to how the order would ar-
feet professional baseball. 1t means
that for this year at least baseball
is safe. The general impression in
official circles is that IL the war con-
tinues through next summer profess
siOnal baseball will be limited to
men who are either above the draft
age or under IL.
