In curious contrast with the strict
military censorship has been the free

criticism of the bad conditions in this
field is almost unchecked. The reason

HORSBY'S CASE TO
 SETTLE DISPUTES

Atlantic City, N. J., July S-Former Governor of Pennsylvania John K. Tener, president of the National Baseball League, who is here to at- tend the Tlsk convention, yesterday afternoon discussed the work or fight order as it applies to baseball more fully than he has heretofore. He referred particularly to the action of the Forth Worth, Texas, local draft board in notifying Roger Hornsby, shortstop of the St. Louis Nationals, that unless he engaged in some new essential production he would be placed in Class Al and his depend ency claim would be ignored,
 In the interview given at the Hotel Traymore, MT. Tener coined phrase new in the acute situation baseball finds itself. It is Moral and spiritual production" and he applied it as a term describing what league baseball gives to society. In part he said:
 If there can be such a thing as moral and spiritual production, and T believe there is, it describes exactly what I mean. Simply because what baseball produces is intangible I do not think it can be called non-essen- tial or productive.

Grays' TWiir|er Holds
 Local Team Helpless

The Americans struck a snag yes- terday at Newfield Park. It was old Bob Spaid of Providence who pitched one of the best games seen here in years. He had the locals swinging in all directions at his shine ball which was one of the reasons they were whitewashed by the Grays to the tune of 80. Another was because the Grays pounder Ferguson for IA hits, which, aided by four errors. made at critical moments, netted the visitors eight runs. Only one local man reached second and third, this being Casserly, who stole both bases in the ninth. Spaid famed six of the locals, while five of the Grays hit the air.
 The Grays started in the first. Brau- son hit the second ball pitched to left for sack, stole second and went to third when Casserly failed to take the throw from Skiff on his steal. Eddie Eayrs then worked the squeee play, Brauson scoring while Tai threw Eddie out at first.
 The scoring stopped until the fourth when the Grays scored three tallies. Sweat famed as a starter but Eayrs beat out a bunt. He az; vanced to second on Dameron's safe blow to left. Donahue scored Eayrs and Dameron with a three base wal lop over Sherwood's head. Donahue registered on McNeill's Texas Leaguer to left.
 The Grays were held in check in the fifth but scored one in the sixth. Eayrs again started the trouble with an infield hit and reached second on Dameron's one base blow Donahue scored Eayrs with a single to center, Dameron stopping at second. Hauser got an inf1eld hit, filling the bases. Here the Americans showed their only sign of life when they made a. fast double play. Gearin hit to H. F. Ba- ker who threw to Skiff, forcing Dam eron at home. Skiff three too late to get Gearin at first, but Donahue was out at home when he tried to score on the throw to Grimes, Grimes to Sl1iff.
 The visitors made their last runs in the seventh. Spaid famed but Brau- son singled to center. Sweatt hit to H. F. Baker who fumbled, Brauson

DOINGS IN SPORTLAND-
GIANTS LOSE 4TH STRAIGHT

Chicago, July S-Falling upon Poll Perritt with great gusto in the third inning of yesterdays game, the Cubs swept away a slender lead which the Giants had grabbed in the second frame and rushed five runs over the plate. Five innings later they hung up another tally, so that the final re- suit of the second meeting of the present series between the league leaders and the runners up resulted in victory for MitchelPs men by a score of to 1.
 Poll did not go the route against the Cubs. He retired in the fifth and Fred Anderson, who succeeded him, was nicked for the sixth run regis tered by the Windy City outfit, though it was an unearned tally. Phil Douglas, who has come back in fine shape, following an operation which he underwent this spring, baffled the Giants with scarcely an effort He really deserved shut out over Nc Graw's clan.
 Twenty-two thousand fans saw the game, and for lack of accommodate tions it was necessary to put about 5000 of them on the field. The crowd was one of the biggest of the season, and reminded the scribes of the old days when Chances famous Cubs battled with the Giants for the Ma tional League supremacy. The fans went wild with enthusiasm, the dem onstration indicating how pennant mad Chicago rooters are., The score: Chicago
