FINLEY NEWS NOTES

Some time ago the commissioners OF
Drainage District No. 6 sent out blank
forms to all the property owners in
this district seeking authority to set
tie the old claims against the old drain
age district. Most of the nonresident
owners have returned their authorize
ton slips promptly, but the local pro-
perty owners are very slow about re-
turning them. They are almost unan-
imous in their approval of the propos-
ed settlement, but have neglected to
send in the forms. The commission
ers would be greatly helped if those
who have not done so would mail in
the forms without further delay.

Ball Parks Must Close Gates" Says
 President Tener

Cincinnati, July 20.---President John K. Tener, of the National League af- ter reading Secretary of War Bakers statement relative to baseball as it is concerned in the work or fight order, said:
 q have read Secretary Bakers de cision in full, and baseball interests will comply with the finding in spirit as well as in action. As good citizens our obligation is to respect constitut- ed authority. If baseball comes un- der the classification of non essential occupation we will most gladly make the sacrifice of our business interests in the country's welfare.
 We feel, however, some provisions should be made that would give us time to determine whether or not the clubs can proceed under the sugges- tion made by Secretary Baker or whether we will close out our busi- ness entirely, and we will request the War Department to make it's ruling more definite as it concerns this point.
 My personal opinion is that if every ball player between the ages of 21 and 31 in forced to cease playing baseball at once, professional baseball ranks will have to close their gates immedi- ately.

AMERICANS IN
 DOUBLE WIN
First Game Goes Twelve In nings Before Locals Put
 Over Winning Run.

The Americans climbed back into a, tie for first place yesterday by taking two games from Waterbury, The first game was started with Ferguson on the mound for the locals and Bill Powers tossing them over for tlte Hlnchmen. Aleck got off to a bad start for the locals, the Brass City team getting two runs in the first in ming and another in the third. Right here the lcal pitcher frightened up and managed to work himself out of a few holes that he climbed into through out the game. Powers lasted but one third of an inning for Waterbury, being relieved by Dick Tuckey. The game went 12 innings, the locals win ming 4-3.
 In the second game Lennon was on the mound for the local team while Powers went back into the box for the Brass City team. Eddie was in the best Of form and the visitors could do nothing with his deliveries. On the other hand the locals lambasted Powers all over the field and at the end of the seventh inning, when the game was called, the score stood TO in our favor.

CUBS OBTAIN ONLY
 TWO HITS OF PFEFFER

Chicago, July Fortunately for the Dodgers, Jeff Pfeffer, at one. time their most dependable hurler, who now is stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station here, got leave of absence for the day and pitched his old teammates to 2 to 0 victory over the league leaders.
 Not only did Pfeffer neatly kalso- mine the Mitchell athletes but in ad- dition he held them to a pair of re- mote singles, one in the fourth ses- sion and one in the seventh frame. Hollocher distinguished himself by hitting for base in the fourth and eLslie Mann repeated the performance in the seventh. Six Cubs all told reached first base, three on passes, one on an error and two on hits. No ICub got as far as third and only two got to second. It was nifty days work for Jeff, and he returned to duty feeling that he had spent a pleasant afternoon.

Me- GraW, manager of the New York Giants, has promised to take team of big league players to Paris for a series of games with former pro- fessional players now in the army or the navys according to an annunce- ment here today by Johnny -Evers, former Chicago Cub manager, now of the Knights of Columbus athletic de- partment overseas.
 American soldiers are scheduled to witness some big timber games in France" said Evers. "McGraw assured me it would not cost the Knights of Columbus a cent. I have in mind some of the players, now fighting the Huns, who will play Mo Graw's bunch. The nucleus of my team is Alexander, pitcher; Gowdy catcher; Miller, of Cleveland and Philadelphia, first base, and Evans of Cleveland, third base. The others I shall select as soon as I arrive in France"
 Evers said he had packed in his trunk for his trip to- Paris his old Cub uniform, including gloves and shoes.

Mike Gibbons Is
 30 Years Old Today

Michael J. Gibbons, the well known Mike, the man who has made St. Paul famous, will celebrate his thirtieth birthday today. Among the middle weights Mike has rarely had his equal.
 Mike was born in St. Paul, of par ents who hailed from the Emerald Isle, on July 20, 1888. After leaving school he entered a railroad work shop and after four years became a fuTl-f1edged sheet-metal worker. In the meantime he had interested him self in several sports, but he preferred boxing to all others and was soon able to lick all his fellow workers.
 Mike was eighteen when he decided to try to pick up little extra coin as a boxer. With his boyhood chum, Eddie Reddy, as his manager, Mike started his professional career, box ing whenever ten-spot was hung up as a reward. Gibbons went along without defeat until 1910. when he lost a ten-round bout with Jimmy Clabby in St. Paul. The. following year the two met again in Milwaukee and the result was a draw, A little later Mike defeated Clabby in Winni- peg. Jimmy had claimed the welter- weight championship title, and Gib- bons then announced himself as the successor to that title, and held 1t against all corners until he entered the middleweight division.
 In the fall of 1911 Mike decided to invade New York. His bouts in the

Hartford, July 20-The season of Baseball Clubs will come to a close to- morrow night as ther esult of an an- nouncement made late last night by President Dan O'Neil, following the decision of Secretary of War Baker in the Ainsmith case that baseball Is a non-e essential business project and ball players coming under the work or fight" order of Provost Marshal Crowder shall not be exempt from its regulations. As a result the last pro- fessional baseball game of the season of 1918 will be played in Hartford this afternoon, when the Hartford Sena- tors go up against the Waterbury club in a double-he the first game starting at ? o'clock.
 Said President O'Neil: "In view of Secretary of War Bakers decision this afternoon in the Ainsmith case, there is nothing left for minor baseball leagues except to close up shop. The Eastern League at its meeting last Monday was of the opinion that 1t | would make every effort to continue giving baseball to the public, unless such efforts on it's part conficted with l the governments desires under the Crowder work or fight rule. - There is no doubt but that the government wishes in this matter. Consequently have notified the club owners of the | Eastern League that the season will l suspend next Sunday night, July 21.'' The Eastern League executive noti- ha ol11h of hie | decision in this matter, the power be- I ing left in his hands, in a night letter | by telegraph. Four of the clubs ot the league will wind up their league games this afternoon, Hartford, New Haven, Springfield and Providence

Eastern League 10 Quit After Sunday
Announced by President O'Neil Last Evening As Result of Secretary of War Bakers Ruling of Baseball As Non-Essential.

result the Eastern League executive immediately ordered a suspension for the remainder of the season.
 President O'Neil pointed out last night that the Eastern League might have taken advantage before of the National Association ruling regard Ing league finishing half of it's sea- son, but. the club owners wanted to nn1sh out the schedule and give the public baseball, if such was at all possible. However, under this ruling by Secretary Baker, he declared, it was, utterly impossible for any minor league to- recruit the players neces- sary to fill up the spots that will be left vacant by the ball players who must now conform to the work or light order, and as a result the East ern League must suspend for. the re- mainder of the schedule.
 1 The effect of this ruling rpon tbe Eastern League clubs is almost sweep ing. This league in normal years is made up of young ball players trying out in professional baseball circles, and older ball players who have gone up but come back for various req sons. This year, however, the young l. able around the diamonds: in minor leagues, because of the large number of voluntary enlistments under the draft age, and because of the very good pay that they are receiving in manufacturing plants engaged upon war work. The older ball players have not come back from the leagues of higher classification as in other
 
 players has compelled these leagues to hang on to whatever they had, in order to fill up the ranks of the draft ed and enlisted players. Consequent ly, there is hardly a club in the cir cui that would have over two players left, outside of the manager, in the face of this ruli2g by the secretary of war, making it impossible for the ranks of the clubs to be filled in or lder to keep on with the schedule The Hartford club, for example, could retain only one played, Catcher Joe Briger, a veteran of minor league ex- perience, as all of the others are sub ject to this work or fight" order.
 The announcement of the suspen- sion of the Eastern League now leaves only four leagues playing professional baseball in the United States, in di- rect contrast to 42 leagues which were in operation in 1913, the year before the opening of the European war. When this season opened there were about Il leagues that started out. but all of them have suspended. except the two major leagues, the new Interna- tiona1 League and the American As sociatton. Without a doubt the new International League and the Ameri- can Association. also will be forced to close their gates because of inability to get players, and the only two cir cults that possibly can get along are lthe two major leagues.
