BASEBALL NON-ESSENTIAL
Mass. Draft Board Decides Catcher
Henry. of Boston Must "WOr1
Or Fight

Boston, July 15.-Baseball was
classed as q non essential productive
occupation by the Brighton local
draft board Yesterday in deciding a
test case brought by John Parker
Henry, catcher for the Boston Ma
tional League baseball team, against
Provost Marshal General Crowder's
work or fight rules.
The board found that the amount Of
relief from war strain furnished by
the game was overestimated by the
registrant in his affidavit, and that
basebalIs financial contribution to-
the war was no larger materially
than the voluntary scritices of many
millions of citizens"
All the three members of the
board are agreed in the finding that
baseball is a productive occupa-
ton but one of them, Justice Thomas
H Connolly, recommends that Henry
be not required to change his occupa-
ton on the ground that he could not
do so without substantial financial
loss to himself or Others"
Henry, Justice Connolly finds, is
paid $3.50 a month for playing base
ball and els not qualified to take up
any other occupation which, from a
financial standpoint, would be COM
parable to the compensation he re-
ceives in his present occupation"
Justice Connolly also interprets
"others" who would be financially in
iured by Henry's removal from the
game to include not only dependent
members of his family, but also his
employers.
The majority of the board, in dis
putting Henry's claim that baseball is
necessary as affording needed recrea-
ton and contributing to the conduct
of the war by taxes, the purchase of
Liberty bonds and other contribu-
tons, say:
we believe that the continuance
of the business of the registrant's en-
ployers is secondary to the winning of
the war, and that they must necessar-
lily expect to make some sacrifice,
that the financial welfare of the
registrant is amply provided for in a
manufacturing business located in
Amherst, Mass. which he controls,
and that he and they must necessarily
expect to share in the SacrlhceS that
are being demanded of American
citizens; that the amount OF fecrea-
ton and relief from stress ana straln
derived from baseball ny thoSe VINO
are not going to war or VINO are not
employed in lines OF industry That
will contribute to the winning of the
war is greatly OVereStrated by the
registrant and finally, that the pro-
portion of the earnings OF hlmsef
and his employers that goes INTO war
taxes Liberty bonds and other war
contributions is in no material mea-
sure larger than that of many mil
lions of citizens who already contrib
uted generously not molly with their

For wartime appropriation measure the District bill
is much better than lot of us expected
1t provides for existing needs admirably and also
promises the school building situation by providing for
poray structures which win house the increased attendance
without calling for expenditure of several million dollars
1t allows the and money for a two-platoon fire de-
partment
It raises the pay of District of Columbia employees
1t takes step in the right direction by increasing the
lower grade teachers basic pay although would have been
better bill had 1t made the minimum teachers pay 600
1t puts into effect system whereby merit viii have
something to do with teachers advance in the schoo
At present merit does not count for much should
1t allows for an enlarged police force.
1t takes due notice of the fierce condition Of the city
streets.
It provides for municipal garbage disposal.
In giving credit for this bill the District of Columbia
should thank the Appropriations Committee Of the House.
and also commend the Commissioners and officials for some
very fine work in mpressng the committee the
slty for the big items and provisions In the bill In
VOTELESS town have to rely upon the Commissioners
for municipal e and they fail to impress Congress-
if they fail to be diplomatic in thousand ways that most Of
us fail to appreciate the National Capital suffers believe
that the present bill is example of very earnest work on
the part of our friends at the District building
