OF some minor league race. While,
generally, the playing personnel of the
MINOR leagues contain either younger
or older players than the majors, the
Provost Marshals order would in all
likelihood cause those minor leagues
that have been in operation to dis
continue.
Boxing is prohibited in so many
states that its death under the new
order would financially affect less than
a dozen nationally known promoters,
professional from lightweight to
heavyweight to work or fight. Jess
Willard, the heavyweight champion. is
the only title holder who is not draft
reglstrant. The successful "white
nope aged several, years, it is alleged,
after the passage of the draft law, a
year ago.
"Will Improve Racing"
A we'll known racing authority said
yesterday:
"lf Provost Marshal General
Crowder wished to improve racing
ne could have issued no better or
der The owners, trainers and es
sential help connected with the
racing game are not within draft

within the draft specifications and,
as such. it is pleasant to reflect
that they will betake themselves to
other fields where they will be
more useful.

What Officials
Say About New
Crowder Order

BAN JOHNSON, President of the Amer
lean League-''I do not believe the govern
ment has any intention of wiping out base
Dali altogether, but if I had my way l
would close every theatre, ball park and
other places of recreation in the country
and make the people realize that they are
IN the most terrible war in the history of
the world"
PRESIDENT JOHN X. TENER-"Every-
thing must be done to win this war. .
The clubs will try to find players that are
not of draft age. and if this cannot be
done there is a possibility that our ball
parks will have to be closed"
SECRETARY JOHN A. HEYDLER-
Eighty per cent of the 1865 players in the
National League are within draft age.
Not team in the National League will be
able to play through to the end of the
season.
MANAGER MILLER HUGG1Ns-"we'n
stop baseball with three cheers if it will
help at all. Perhaps it will be found that
baseball affords too much relaxation to too
many millions to be stopped abruptly"
COLONEL JACOB RUPPERT-"The
Yanks will be unable to finish the season
but that is nothing if it will do good.''
CHARLES H. EBBETS. President Brook
lyn Bal! Club-"Baseball has not Jagged
during this war. and it has no protest now.
1t will force an abandonment"

The ourteenth
Win for Giants
By Charles A. Taylor

ST. LOUIS, May 23-Doubles by
Heinie Zimmerman and Captain Ar
thur Fletcher in the fourteenth inning
enabled the Giants to make a clean
sweep OF the series with the Cardinals.
The score of to-day's long drawn out
contest was to 4. The Giants should
have won in the regulation nine in
nings, but Fletcher and Rodriguez
staged battle to decide which could
make the most costly errors. The de-
cision went to the Cuban.
The runs that settled the game came
after Kauff had been tossed out by the
pitcher and Burns had popped to Wal
lace at short. Heinie Zim drove liner
over third, which netted two bases, and
hardly had he taken up his post off the
keystone sack when Fletcher poled an
other two-bagger to centre field, Heinie
scoring. Walter Holke singled to left,
tallying Fle.cher with what proved to
pc an unnecessary counter.
jeff Tesreau started in the box for
the New Workers and was found for
two runs in the very first inning, al
though ne struck out two men. Singles
by Smith and Paulette and an error
by Holke brought about the scoring.
Bats Out of Turn
The Giants made their first run in
the second inning because Lew Nc
Carly had two chances to bat. The
first time Lew fouled out, but the Sec
ond time he singled to center. Tes-
reau followed with safe blow which
tailed Holke who had walked. The
odd happening as regards Mccarthy
occurred through his going up to bat
out of turn: After he had fouled out
have batted and that therefore tho
Cuban was out and McCarty up.
The Giants added two more runs to
their total in the third. Burns was
hit and Zimmerman and Fletcher
singled to produce the tallies. New
York made another run in the sixth
as result of Holke's double and a
double steal worked by Holke and
Rodriguez.
The Cardinals tailed one run in the
seventh on Paullette's double and
Snyder's single and tied the score in
the eighth, thanks to Fletcher and the
fiery Cuban. Hornsby, batting for
Doak, singled and both he and Smyth
We're safe when Fletcher fumbled the
latter's grounder with an easy double
play in sight. Jack Smith sacrificed.

Chicago Next Stop

ninth, while st. Louis used three,

after the game for Chicago where
a four-gamc series will start to-

Professional Golfers Hit
BY Gen. Crowder's Orde,

, The game of golf does not seem
liable to be seriously crippled by the
latest draft order issued yesterday by
Provost Marshal General Crowder. The
links have given their hundreds of
young men to both branches of the SER
wee The amateurs especially are lit
tie affected, as they arc principally
men engaged in useful occupations.
The blow will fall more heavily upon
the golf professionals. both, those who
devote their entire time to teaching
or laying out courses and those who
gather in the purses by touring the
country playing matches for the edifi-
cation of the less skilled followers Of
the game.
There are probably several hundred
men who make their living at golf, and
while some of them are beyond the
draft age, there is a considerable num-
Der who will fall within the scope of
General Crowder's order.
