Worlds Series Question Still ITn-
 settled.

Washington. Aug. 20.-If the big league magnates want a worlds championship baseball series played this fall they had better ask Secre tary of War Bakers permission at once. Otherwise the "worll or fight order will go into effect on Septem- Der 1 and the pennant winners will have to disband along with the other teams. MT. Baker said today that if the league officials desired to make application for permission to retain players affected by the work or fight order long enough to play a worlds series he would consider it.
 My ruling provides that baseball players of draft age should seek pro- ductive occupation on or before the first of September,' said Secretary Baker 1T have not ben requested to change that ruling and I have not considered the subject. If the prop- CT league officials formally request that the ruling be changed I shall consider the request and act upon it. But no such request has been made to date, and until it is made 1 shall do nothing about it,
