President Minor of the Washington
club had no comment to make on Sec
retary Bakers decision, and Manager
Griffith, in discussing the order, con-
fined himself to saying: IF 1t Is the
desire of the President that there be
no more base ball will gladly abide
by his wishes"
The sport did not die overnight 1t
is badly stunned. but still alive, as
visitors to American League Park
this afternoon will discover when they
see the Nationals and White Sox clash
in the second game of their series.
Furthermore, it is assured the con-
tests set for Sunday and Monday also
viii be played. but beyond that de-
vefopments must be awaited.
Some of the owners undoubtedly
feel that it is the patriotic duty of
every base ball owner to close his
park until the war ends but all lead
ers Of the sport will not hold this
view. For instance, John Heydler.
secretary Of the National League, and
oHe of the most prominent men con-
neoted with the game. thinks the game
should and will go on.
Despite the fact that most Of cur
players win be affected by Secretary
Bakers construction of the work or
light order. 1t is my impression that
tho major leagues will mako every ef-
fort to complete the season." says
Heydler. THE clubs will try to re-
crdt their teams from men who are
above the draft age.
