unions SAY YARDS
SEEK SOCCER men
Football STARS Alleged
to be Drafted as Ex-
pert Shipbuilders
IT is CLASSED AS
"WELFARE WORK

Labor leaders threw another bomb
into the shipyard discussion yesterday
They assert ability to "llne 'er down Ia
second base" or TO dance a two-step in
the Queonsberry glove game, does not
Include the only sports that seemingly
win exemption from active war duty in
the various shipyards.
Il was alleged the yards personnel is
being organized into soccer teams and
some Of the "basebal rlveters" are now
out scouting for soccer players whose
skill has gotten their names into the
sporting pages in large type.
The officials admit these teams are
being lined up but say II comes under
the welfare plan" and that the men
must have recreation. Furthermore
they assert that most Of the soccer
players are real shipworkers.
Omlnous war clouds began TO gather
about the "AttabOys" in the yards yes
terday, who have for the duration OF
the war" turned wage-wOrkers instead
OF war wagers.
Organized labor is smarting Under
the aspersion that "slackers in the
ranks Of organized labor" have caused
,he fall down" in the announced ton
aage Of ship output.
They said they are going right ahead
with their plans 10 have every man
in the various yards "Overhauled' by a
government exemption board to deter
mine whether his place was "over here
or "over there"
But this was not all. The labor
leaders said they would make a request
10 General Crowder that on the eXemp-
tiOn boards he appoint a bonailde, ac-
credited shipwOrker who could tell
whether an applicant for exemption
was a real shipworker himself or not
This Is fair and square TO all Of Us, ~
they said. The same test will apply TO
all. Those that are real w0rkmen, who
can actually aid in the building OF ships
stay here. Those that don't come up to
the mark Of ability-well, their next
address should be somewhere in
France in care OF General Pershing.'
Certain labor leaders expect to hold
conference with Cramps officials today
when they will ask that all Of their men
let out recently through lack OF work
be reinstated at once.
IF there are any Jobs left after
these experienced men are again Dach
at work." they say, 1--WE have no obiec-
tion TO having them filled with ball
players or actors or bartenders or un-
dertskers or anyone they can get. But
Ne're going right through with the
program that every man, before he IS
exempted, must prove his worth to his
government?
That the labor leaders, as we'll as
the men themselves, feel keenly the
odium charged up against their trades
they admit. They say they are going
10 find out "the monied interests al
legged to be behind the plan to protect
the ball players from any physical dan
ger.
The labor leaders held meetings far
into the night Saturday, as we'll as yes
terday. Late last night they said again
that II they did not get together with
the Cramp people, although they hoped
they would, their next step would be
an appeal 70 the Macy War Labor Ad-
iustment Board, and that If they lose
there they'll carry il "up to President
whom we know how to reach ~

HOOPER BIDS LONG
FAREWELL TO GAME
Harry Only Man Who Played
in Four Worlds Series
Without Defeat
FRIENDS FAVOR
HEYDLER FOR CHIEF

Harry Hooper, Rcd Sox star, has an
nounced that ne is through with base
ball and that when the great American
sport is resumed after the war ne Will
not return TO the Esst. As Hooper
always has been one OF the most earn
est hard working stars OF the past dec
ade OF players one must take Harry's
word that he really intends TO quit the
professional diamond.
Hooper says he has been ten years in
Boston, which he figured Is long enough
for any player 20 remain in the game.
lie says he has been treated well and
he has deserved his treatment. Hooper
Is one player who proved that figures
very often lie. IioOper's American
League averages never were very m
pressive, and only once did he hit over
300, yet no outflelder Of the last ten
years can be placed ahead Of him for
all around worth other than Ty Cobb
and iris Speaker.
Hooper quits the game with one rec
ord which is likely TO stand for q long
time 10 come. He Is the only player
the gime has produced who has played
In four worlds series without being
on a loser. II is true that Jack Barry
has been on five winners, while Eddie
Collins, Jacl. Mclnnis and Amos Strunk
also have been on four winners, but
all OF these players were members OF
the feated Athletic team OF 1914, the
only American League team TO lose
worlds series during the last nine
years.
The Athletics ran into their worlds
series reverse after winning three
straight victories. so Hooper is the only
player who has been on four straight
worlds champions. Heinie Wagner also
was a member OF the four teams in
which Hooper played in worlds series,
but on only one was be an active play
er. In three others he appeared only as
a coach and in only two did he get a
full share Of the receipts.
Fred Merkle, as is generally known,
is the glutton for worlds series pun
ishment, having played on five losers,
with Chief Meyers giving him a close
rub as a player n four losers, without
ever getting on a winner.
The following figures show Low all
players who have been eligible 10 play
in four or more series have fared:
