Four Griffmen Soon to Go.

It is unnecessary to wander far af1eld
for an example of what the recent an
nouncement that thousands of draftees
will depart for environments the latter
part of this month and the first OF May
will mean. as the Grihmen stand to lose
four players in addition to Lavan, who
IS awaiting a call to service In the
Navy that may come any day. These
four are Du Mont, Charity. Yingling
and Craft. All are listed in Class and
to the colors before the training camps
are refilled with the men who now have
finished their period of training.
Du Mont probably will be the first OF
well up in the order of liability and al
though he has had no official notlhca-
tion as yet, advices from friends In
Minneapolis are to the effect that 1t Is
almost a certainty he will have to re-
port for service not later than May 5.
The numbers of Charity and Craft are
farther back in their respective dis
tricts than is that of Du Mont. and
Yingllng's classification is even more
distantly removed from the head of the
list, but 1t is believed all will be sum-
moned within the next month and
half.

All the officials of the tournament

able success OF the event. Jack VIII
iiams, president of the association. last
night discussed the situation freely:
The tournament bids fair to be one
of the most successful the city duck
pin association has ever held. While
the team entries are running little
behind those of previous years. l feel
sure that the doubles ana singles and
entries in special events will bring the
total as high or higher than that of a
year ago. That this is true speaks
wei for the interest in the sport, be-
cause hundreds of followers of tae
game are in the service and unable
to take part. Everything looks rosy,
according to present prospects
For very coed reasons. we were re-

phoned that, owing to the inclement
weather conditions, they could not very

preciate an extension of time until
Monday night. A lot of phone calls
from Washington bowlers brought like
requests and we decided to let the list
stand open two days longer.
Tomorrow morning We shall take up
details of the tournament. and make ar
rangements for classifcations and work

DRAFT WILL UPSET
BIG LEAGUE RACES
Du Mont, Expecting Call to
Army by May 5, Will Be First
National to Go.
GRIFF GETS NEW CATCHER
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

There are so many "ifs' at
tached to the pennant races OF
the two major leagues, now fair
" started, that it is impossible to
dope the ultimate positions of the
teams with any degree of accu-
racy. AS matters stand now 1t
generally is agreed that the
White Sox and Giants must be re-
garded as favorites in their re-
spective circuits, but prognosti-
cations based on the clubs as at
present constituted will be sub
ject to extensive alterations after
the effects of the next Army
draft are discernible.
Uncertainty as to the identity of the
players who will be permitted to con-
tinue their activities through the season
IL by no means confined to the &C
knowledged contenders in the two
races. This is well illustrated in the
case of the lowly Athletics now So
journing in our midst. Although harder
hit than a majority of the other man
ayers, Connie Mack proceeded to re-
assemble his Athletics machine. and
evolved one superior in many respects
to that of 1917. Now with the season
but one week old he faces the task OF
replacing one of it's most important
cogs-probably before his team reaches
Shibe Park for it's home opening next
wednesday-George Burns being slated
to dofr his diamond uniform for one OF
khaki. The former Tiger f1rstsacker,
who was expected to in a measure offset
the departure of the popular Stuffy Nc
Innis, already has passed his physical
examination and is expecting his sum-
mons to the Army within the next few
days.
