Colum bia, He had been placed in
class four previous to the work or
night" order. The local board ordered
him TO appear 10 show cause why no
should not he re-classified and placed
in class l. because of the nature OF his
occupation. His deferred classifica-
tion had been granted because of the
dependency OF his wife and child.
Ainsmith and representatives, OF or
ganized baseball appeared to present
arguments against the re-classifica-
ton. but the board held that the oc-
cupation of baseball player Is nom
productive In the sense OF the regula-
lions, and ordered that Ainsmith's de-
ferred classification be revoked. The
case was appealed TO the district board
for the District of Columbia, which
sustained the local board and was
then appealed 10 the secretary OF
war.
Bakers Ruling.
Secretary Baker commented as fol-
lows;
Baseball players are men OF I'M
usual physical ability, dexterity and
alertness. 1t has been necessary for
| lis In this country to institute processes
| OF rapid industrial training. and il is
quite inconceivable that occupations
cannot be found by these men which
would not only relieve them from the
onus OF non productive employment
but would make them productive in
some capacity highly useful to the ma
| ton. This change viii be welcome
! by the individuals involved. and its
usefulness to the country, both direct
and indirect, is obvious
Baseball has been accepted as the
national sport of the people of the
| United States, and affords wholesome
| outdoor relaxation and enjoyment 10
| large numbers of the American people
! and is to many workers and business
men of the United States almost the
| only opportunity for such recreation
| so that TO bring about the cessation OF
professional baseball would work a So
clal and industrial harm out OF pro-
! portion to the military loss involved
/ by the exemption of the limited mum
| Der of players in question"
| In his final denial of the appeal and
| his approval of the findings OF the
lower board, the secretary intimated
| that the scope of the order might be
/ broadened. rather than contracted.
| Secretary Baker further said:
/ The scope of its provisions should
/ be so enlarged as to include other
classes of persons whose professional
occupation is solely that or entertain
| ing our people will be resourceful
enough to find other means OF recre-
alton and relaxation II there be not
enough persons beyond the useful or
military age to perform such func-
I tons and they will be wise and pa
/ triotic enough not to neglect the recre-
alton necessary to maintain their ef-
/ fciency merely because they are call
ed upon, in the obvious public interest
TO sacrifice favorite form OF amuse-
ment."
