No Discrimination
AGAINST Players
Were Under Consideration
Before Ruling Was Made
Crowder Says
BAKER THOUGHT
MEN WERE EXEMPT

WASHINGTON, May 24.-whether the
new work-or-flght" army draft regu-
lation announced yesterday shall apply
TO professional baseball players and
thereby probably put the bis leagues
out Of business for the period OF the
war, will not be decided until the
point is raised on appeal 10 the pro-
vost marshal generals ONCE after the
regulation becomes effective July 1.
The War Department was bombsrded
with queries on the subject soon after
the new regulation was made public.
At first IL was indicated that ball play
ers certainly would be classed among
those IN non-useful occupations, who
must seek new jobs or go into the
army. Provost Marshal General Crow
der announced, however, that there
would be no decision until a case arose
through official channels, and later the
War Department issued this formal
statement:
plsyers or persons engaged in golf. ten
LIE VI any ollltT SpOIb COME uuucT Lue
regulations regarding idlers or non
essential pursuits will be made until
specific case has been appealed 10 the
Provost Marshal Generals ofllce.
Secretary Baker explained that the
status Of baseball players had been dis
cussed before the regulation was ap-
proved, ana IL was agreed that the ques-
tion could not be disposed OF until all /
The facts relating TO the effect upon the
b seball business had been brought out
through the hearing OF case appealed /
from local board
The Secretary did not profess 10 know
how seriously application Of the rule
TO professional ball players would
affect the leagues. He did not know that
Q large majority OF the major league
players were OF draft age and were ex-
empted only because OF dependents, but
on the contrary, was under the impress
sion that most OF them were outside1
the draft limits.
The paragraph OF the new regulation
which may touch the ball players is a
subdivision OF the enumeration OF
Glasses affected, and says:
Persons, incluring ushers and other
attendants, engaged in and occupied In,
and in connection with games. sports
and amusements, excepting actual per-
formers In legitimate concerts, operas
or theatrical performances"

SHAKE UP DUE
In CHURCH LEAGUE

Mt. Salem vs.. Eastlake, at Twenty
ninth and Market.
Wesley VS.. Edge Moor, at Edge Moor.
Westminster vs.. Hillcrest, at Shellpot
Elsmere VS.. Silverbrook. at Second
and dupont.
Central VS.. Madeley, at Eden Park.
What the matter was with westmin-
ster's hitters last Saturday IN their
contest with Essilake is a matter OF de-
bate. Perhaps Kitchen could tell. How
ever, the Westminster boys can't Keep
up such a rate as one bit game, and
so tomorrow they Will be out TO take
their spite on Hillcrest, as they don't
meet Eastlake again until July g.
Esstlske will oppose Mt Salem at the
Riveryiew grounds. and II the HilIop
team can overcome the Ninth Wsrders
they will only be a smell behind first
position.
Edge Moor will have as their guests |
che Wesley team. and last years pen
naut winners are so hot at having drop
ped even one game that they are going
after the Wesleyites' scalps at the drop
OF the ball. No reports have come to
this Office, however, OF frigid extreml-
ties or shifting knees among the Elev-
snth Wsrders. Wesley is goins 10 try
/ repetition Of last Saturdays Silver
,rook proposition.
The Eismere-Silverbrook and Central
dsdeiey games promise a shake at the
,ottom Of the league. Central will st.ll
,e tie for the cellar position even II
hey win and Silverbrook loses again
{ is noticeable that the teams are
,retty well strung out already.

CHESTER AT
1T AGAIN TODAY

This is one OF the big" days on the
calendars OF both the students Of the
Wilmington High School and those from
the similar institution al .Chester-on-
the-Delaware, as II is this afternoon
that the rival baseball teams clash at
Front and Union for the nrst time this
season Sessions at both schools were
curtailed so that students might be at
the scene Of battle by 3 o'clock A
number OF new yells have been prsc-
tioed lately by students OF the Della
ware avenue institution for learning,
and both the boys and the girls sec
tions will be heard from, lead by Bill
Bouzarth and Miss Alice Msrston, re-
spectivcly.
When Tollln climbs the hill this
afternoon he will face the toughest
proposition he has been up against this
or perhaps any other season. True,
Wilmlngton's record Of nine won and
one lost, Is better than Chester's slight
ly better than an even break. but the
factor Of determination does not allow
great deal sometimes for percentages
That Chester bunch was always worth
a weeks work 10 subdue. be It baseball,
track football or basketball and the
harder they come the more honor OF
winning.
Wilmington holds the athletic palm
so far this scholastic year over Chester
with football and basketball scalps
hanging at her belt and II the baseball
game and track meet can be copied. IL
will be something for this years grad
yates to tell their sons twenty years
hence.
Curly" Ogden. who has undoubtedly
been one Of the finest athletes who ever
wore Chester uniform, will hurl this
afternoon in opposition TO Tollln.
Ogden plays or does everything includ-
ing football, basketball (which brings
pleasant memories. baseball, track and 1
nayhaps marbles and pool Tollin and /

At the quarterly conference Of the
First Methodist Protestant Church,
Seventh and Walnut streets. held on
Tuesday night reports OF the different
organizations Of the church showed a
decided advance along the lines OF
church activity, and especially In at
tendance at preaching service and Sab
bath school. Since the beginning OF
the conference year some new mem
bers have been received and spiritual
interest awakened. This church was
on the honor roll OF the annual con-
ference for having met all OF its OBJ

mined to make this year excel the pre-

Fast Saturday Game

Wildel vs.. Pennsylvania, at p, B. &
w r. r. grounds
Parkslde vs.. Pusey and Jones. at Sew
eNteenth and Spruce
dupont vs.. Eleventh Ward, at Front
and Union.
Well boys, there was some shake-up
IN the All-Wilmington last Saturday.
Eleventh Ward no longer holds a
four place average on the left side OF
the decimal point. No less than three
pennant contenders are tied for second
place, Pennsy, p. & j.. and Wildel. -Four
OF the six teams are 500 or better, so by
the laws OF mathematics the other two
aren't much at this stage Of the race.
But never mind, Parkside and dupont,
you can't both be In the cellar. Some
body must evacuate and each OF you
says It's the other. The truth may lie
that a paradox-but as we were about
TO remark, the truth may lie between
the two, or rather outside the two. In
other, words some OF the 600 or 800
people may lose their grip on those
high rungs, lthe higher the slippier, as
was proved In last Saturdays p & j.
Eleventh Ward scrlmmage), and the
Powdermakers or the Park bunch may
shin up in their places.
-
Well old Bill Crouch, the ponderous
port slider, was seen in action last Sat
urday and the only thorn In his side
was that feller Patton, who as a collec-
tor OF bungles was a conspicuous sue
cess having no less than four chalked
up in the II column. Outside Of Pat" |

feet pitching.

lions, but II last Saturday was a shake
