Parks Must Close
IF Players in Draft
Quit, Says Tener

~1NClNNATI. July 19. .-
President John X. Tener of
the National League, after
reading Secretary of War Ba-
kcrs statement relative to base
ball as it is concerned in the
work or fight" order, said:
IL have read Secretary Bakers
decision in full, and baseball in
terests will comply with the find
ing in spirit as we'll as in action.
AS good citizens our obligation is
to respect constituted authority.
If baseball comes under the
classification Of a non-essential
occupation VIC will most gladly
make the sacrifice of our business
interests in the country's well
fare.
eve feel, however, some pro-
visions should be made that
would give us time to determine
whether or not the clubs can
proceed under the suggestion
made by Secretary Baker or
whether we will close out our
business entirely, and We will re-
quest the War Department to
make its ruling moro definite as
it concerns this point.
my personal opinion is that
if every ball player between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty
one is forced to cease playing
baseball at once, professional
baseball parks will have to close
their gates immediately"

welcomed by the individuals in.
volved, and its usefulness to the
country, both direct and indirect,
is obvious.
"The third consideration is, of
course, the serious one. and is the
one which has brought about the
present appeal to the President. The
stress of intensive occupation in in
dustry and commerce in America in
normal times, such as to give the
highest Importance and social value
to outdoor recreation. 1t may be
we'll that all of the persons who at
tend SUCH outdoor sports. are not in
need of them. but certainly very
large prepondcrance of the audi
ences in these great national ox-
hlbitions are helped. physically and
mentally, and made more efficient
llndustrially and socially, by the re-
Taxation that they there enjoy.
But the times are not normal: the
demands of the army and of the
country are such that we must all
make sacrifices, and the non-pro-
ductive employment of able bodied
persons, useful in the national de-
fence, either as military men or in
the industry and commerce of our
country, cannot be justified. The
N~uhsAy VIII DS UcSC SatlSIleU IL CnG
great selective process by which our
army is recruited makes no discrimi-
nation among men, except those
upon which depend the preservation
of the business industries of the
country essential to the successful
prosecution of the war.
81 am therefore of the opinion
that the regulation in question
should not be changed, but, rather,
shat the scope of its provisions
should be so enlarged as to include
other classes of persons whose pro-
fcssional occupation is solely that
of entertaining. Our people will be
resourceful enough to find other
means of recreation and relaxation
if there be not enough persons be-
yond the useful military or indus
trial age to perform such functions,
and they will be wise and patriotic
enough not to neglect the recreation
necessary to maintain their efficien-
cy merely because they are called
upon, in the obvious public interest,
to sacrifice favorite form of amuse-
ment
"The appeal is denied and the order
of the local and district boards is
affirmed"

Down
Cubs Again as
Pfeffer Twmls

CHICAGO, July Brooklyn ad-
ministered a second successive defeat
to the Chicago Cubs, with big jeff Pfef-
fer back on the mound, here to-day, by
4 score of 2 to 0. Pfeffer twirled in his
former invincible form, holding the
locals to two widely separated singles.
Only two Cub players reached second
and only twenty eight faced the Dodger
pitcher.
Pfcffer is now in the navy, student
at the Great Lakes training station. He
was on furlough, and, anxious to see his
old mates play, went to the Cub park.
He was cheerfully received, and was i'm
plored to get back and show his old
speed. Pfetfer answered Manager Rob-
inson's request by asking for q uni
form. Many of his sailor mates recog-
nized him in his playing togs and
cheered him wildly. He was also
roundly cheered by the five thousand
spectators when he was announced as
the Dodger pitcher.
With Pfeffer twirlng at his best the
Cubs had little chance to score. Pfeffer
displayed more speed than usual, and
the efforts of the locals to hit him gen.
orally resulted in an easy hit to an in
fielder. Chicago players managed to
work Pfcffcr for three free passes, and
it was these gifts that resulted in two
Cub men reaching second.
