BALL PLAYERS
MUST WORK.
SEPTEMBER |
Baker Makes Ruling, Elk
tending Work or Fight
Order Till That Time.

Washington, July 27.-Professional
baseball players were given until Sep-
TENDER 1 to seek essential employ
ment or to be called to the colors in
an order issued by Secretary Baker
yesterday. denying the application of
the national baseball commission to
have the effective time Of the work
or fight regulations as they apply to
professional baseball extended to
October Is.
The secretary said the limited ex-
tension of time was given because OF
the representation made that baseball
players may have been put in a less
Favorable attitude than others af-
fected by the regulations because of
their reliance on his statement that
the question of their inclusion in the
terms of the order would not be de-
cided until a case had arisen. He
made it plain the war department is
interested solely in the strengthening
Of the nations military forces, as the
winning Of the war is regarded as the
first consideration.
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
Mr.. Baker said. had reported it was
not clear to him the game would have
to be discontinued even if the order
were made Immediately applicable, as

While regarding it as unfortunate
to have so wholesome a recreation as
baseball destroyed, the war secretary
fortunate thing to preserve even so
wholesome an amusement by making
IN. exception in favor of baseball
players which is denied to great mass
es of persons in the United States,
who were Immediately associated with
processes Of the national daily life
more fundamental than any mere
amusement.
There was this difference, he said,
between baseball and other industries
classed as non-productive, baseball is
its successful conduct depends upon
the preservation of all the major
league teams scattered throughout
the country, while in most occupations
h work Or fight order has merely a
series of local and more or les per-
sonal effects.
Secretary Bakers order. in the form
of a memorandum for the provost
marshal general, follows:
"a petition has been filed for an ex-
tension of time within which profess
sional baseball players shall seek es-
sential Or productive employment,
and the order asked is one which will
extend until October Is. 1918. AS
grounds for this request it is alleged
that there are but 237 persons af-
fected by the so-called work or fight
order; but that, in spite of this small
number, their taking would lead to
the immediate breaking-up of IN en-
tire game.
at is further said that the notice is
too short to allow the leagues to
adapt themselves to the ruling, and
that the failure of the clubs to adapt
themselves to the ruling is u to the
fact that the secretary of war caused
it to be known through the newspa-
pers that the question of the applica-
ton of the order to baseball players
would not be decided until an actual
case arose.
"A hearing has been had on this
subject by the provost marshal gen.
eral, who reports to me that it is not
clear to him that the game will have
to be discontinued even if the, order is
made Immediately applicable"

WEEKLY GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

Chicago, Ills, July 27.-Crop dam
age fears resulting from alternating
signs Of frost and of hot winds have
more than offset in the corn. market
this week the bearish effects Of cheer
ing war news. Compared with a week
ago, corn this morning was quarter to
n cent net higher. Oats were 7-8c
off to 1 lac up Inc provisions vary
ing from 35c decline to Csc advance.
Radical changes of sentiment in the
corn trade followed each other with
almost bewildering frequency. At the
outset field conditions were reported
as nearly ideal, and the fact hat ar
rivals were far above the average, led
to pronounced weakness, but then
came advices Of frost in Canada and
Montana with predictions that the
cold wave would spread. Under such
conditions, tentative peace terms said
to have been suggested by Germany
caused only transient setback, but
the inspiring military new from
France on Thursday and Friday put
the bulls once more to rout until talk
of hot winds in the southwest gave the
market again an upward whirl.
Action in the oats market displayed
noticeable irregularity owing largely
to eastern purchasing interests chang
ing from an old to a new crop basis.
Provisions were governed wholly by
changes in the value of corn and hogs.

Tennis Playing by
Country'S Youth at Tournament

Perhaps the most convincing evil
dence of widespread interest in the
tennis season now approaching it's
climax in rhe championship at Forest
Hills, is the remarkable success of
the junior and boys program.
Yesterday the Forest Hill courts
witnessed a record breaking match
between two youthful racquet WELD
ers Harold A. Throckmorton, of Eliz-
abeth, N. j., and Harold T. Taylor
of New York. Throckmorton, who
has passed out his teens by just a
year defeated his 17-year- oppon-
ent in a gruelling five-set match,
which required more than three hours
to decide by scores of 6-S, 6-2, 11-9
7-9, 1911. making a total of eighty.
one games played. This supplants
the national singles championship
tournament record of eighty games
made by Suffern Taylor and Palmer
Presby who in the tour nament of 1888
at Newport went eighty games.
The match yesterday afternoon
threatened an upset several times,
for Taylor more thar once was within
stroke or two of winning only to
be outgamed by Throo kmorton. The
latter who was one of the second
ranking ten in 1916 showed his lack

rnCil the contest was well into the

tennis for so youthful an entrant and
repeated fore-court rallies in which
the players bat.led with but a few
feet intervening across the net
brought rounds of applause from the
