Baseball Jumpers Are
To Get Doun to WorR

New York, Nov. 15.-Professional
ball players IN the deferred draft
classes who have been working in
shipyards, probably are grieved TO
learn that all sports Will be aban-
doned by the emergency fleet corpor-
alton. Vice president Charles Pfez has
announced that the workers have
been devoting too much time 10 ath-
letic events. He says that the kind
OF professionalism which has been
thriving In the shipyards Is undesir-
able and that the practice OF paying
high salaries to star ball players
must cease. Mr. Piez adds that these
conditions will not exist next year.
and that the athletes must do their
full share OF manual labor. IN other
words. ball players who deserted their
clubs last summer TO accept lucrative
positions in the shipyards are about
TO receive just what they deserve.
