which has brought about the present
appeal to the president. The stress
of intensive occupation in industry
and commerce in America in normal
times, such as to give the highest inn
portance and social value to outdoor
recreation. 1t may we'll be that all
of the persons who attend such out
door sports are not in need of them,
but certainly very large preponder-
ance of the audiences in these great
national exhibitions are helped, phys
icaily and mentally, and made more
efficient, industrially and socially, by
the relaxation that they there enjoy.
But the times are not normal; the de-
mands of the army and of the coun-
try are such that we must all make
sacrifices, and the nonproductive en-
ployment of able bodied persons, use
full in the national defense, either as
military men or in the industry and
commerce of our country, can not be
justified. The country will be best
satisfied if the great selective pro-
cess by which our army is recruited
makes no Determinations among men,
except those upon which depend the
preservation of the business and in
dustries of the country essential to
the successful prosecution of the war.
/ am, therefore, of the opinion that
the regulation in question should not
be changed, but, rather, that the
scope of its provisions should be so
enlarged as to include other classes
of persons whose professional occu-
patiQh is solely that of entertaining.
Our people will be resourceful enough
to find other means Of recreation and
relaxation if there be not enough per-
sons beyond the useful military or in
dustrial age to perform such func-
tons, and they will be wise and pa
'triotic enough not to neglect the rec
reation necessary to maintain their
efficiency merely because they are
called upon, in the obvious public in
'trest, to sacrifice a favorite form of
amusement.
The appeal is denied and the order
of the local and district boards is af-
frmed.

ness as to destroy it and render this
property temporarily valueless.
! 2. That the occupation Of a pro-
fessional baseball player requires a
very high degree Of specialized train
! ing and skill, procurable only by a
substantially exclusive devotion of
the time Of persons aspiring to be-
come professional players, so that
there is not much likelihood of such
players having any other available oc-
cupatidn, or fitness for any other oc-
; cupation, at all adequate in its re-
turns to maintain for themselves and
their families the standard Of living
which has been established on the
earnings in their professional occupa-
ton.
8. That baseball has been accept
ed as the national sport of the peo-
pie of the United States, that it af-
fords wholesome outdoor relaxation
and enjoyment to large numbers Of
the American people, and is to many
workers and business men of the
United States almost the only oppor-
tunity for such recreation; so that to
bring about the cessation of profess
sional baseball would work a social
and industrial harm far out Of pro-
portion to the military loss involved
by the exemption of the limited mum
Der of players in question.
! Upon each Of these grounds sepa-
rate comment is appropriate.
Answers to Argument.
AS to the first: The situation of
professional baseball differs in no
wise from other civilian peace-time
business which, by reason Of the
stress Of war and its demands upon
the industries and energy Of the coun-
try, must be content to bear whatever
burdep is imposed by temporary in
activity. While the number Of men
affected by the order may be suf-
ficient to disorganize the business,
many Of the players are beyond the
present draft age, and it is by no
means certain that complete disor-
ganizstion of the business would fol-
low adherence to the order as made
As to the second: Baseball -.
ers are men of unusual physical abil-
ity, dexterity, and alertness. It has
been necessary for US in this country
to institute processes Of rapid indus
trial training, and it is quite uncon-
ceivagle that occupations can not be
foupd by these men which not only
would relieve them from the onus of
nonproductive employment, but would
make them productive in some ca
pacity highly useful to the nation.
This change will be welcomed by the
individuals involved, and it's useful
ness to the country, both direct and
indirect, is obvious.
Times Not Normal.
The third consideration is, of
course, the serious one, and is the one

Opinion Rendered By
Secretary Baker Which
Has Put The Kabosh
On Baseball
Abnormal Times Requires That
Unusual Physical Qualities
Of Players Should Be
Utilized

The Secretary of War announces
the following statement in the matter
Of the appea Of Edward Ainsmith,
Order No. 1889, Serial No. 1877,
Local Board No. 9, District Of Co.
lumbia.
The record in this case presents
the following facts:
Edward Ainsmith, resident of the
District of Columbia, is Of draft age
and is a registrant under the jurisdic-
ton of Local Board for Division No.
g of the District of Columbia. His
occupation is that of baseball player
OF the Washington American League
baseball team. He was served, by
order Of his local board, with Form
No. 1896, directing him to appear
before said board and to show cause
why deferred classification in Class
w, previously awarded him on the
ground of the dependency Of his wife
and child, should not be Withdrawn
on account of the character of his &C.
cupation. The question presented.
therefore, was whether the employ
mdlt of Mr.. Ainsmitn as a baseball
player is a nonproductive employ
ment within the meaning of the regu-
lar Reconsideration of persons having
deferred classification who engage III
so-called nonproductive occupations.
The registra,nt and his employer APP
peared, presented all the evidence
they desired, and the local board
held, on the facts of this case, that
the occupation Of baseball player
is nonproductive in the sense of the
regulations and ordered that the reg
istrant's deferred classification and
order number be withdrawn.
The district board for the District
of Columbia affirmed the decision of
the local board, and this appeal seeks
a review of that determination.
Language Of Regulation.
The language of the regulation per-
tinent here occurs in paragraph C Of
section 121-K, as follows:
persons, including ushers and !
other attendants engaged and oc- |,
cupied fin and n connection with /,
games, sports, and amusements," etc. |
Obviously, baseball players are per-
sons occupied in sport, so that the
ruling Of the local and district boards !
must be sustained as plainly correct.
1t is suggested, however, that the ,
ought to be changed to
exclude baseball players from their
operation, and this appeal is not
.eally based upon any doubt as to the
Of the determination .
made by the local and district boards, .
out is addressed to the wisdom of the t
The Arguments.
The arguments in this behalf are |
,hree in number: |
1. That baseball is a business in |
which very large investments of /
money have been made, ,lnvolving
the erection of properties, useless
and improbable unless permitted to /
be continued in the use for which
they were erected; and that the ap-
plication of the regulations to mem
bers of professional baseball teams
would so far disorganize this bust
