BAKER TO GIVE
FINAL DECISION
To Decide Fate Of National Pastime
at Meeting To-day Stand
Is Doubtful.
NAY FINISH YEAR
Not Only Baseball Players But Act
Ors and Motion Picture Men
Included

Washington, d. C.. July IL
Whether the work or fight rule az
affecting baseball! players shall ba
made Immediately effective or post
poned until the end Of the present
playing season is 10 come before
Secretary Of War Baker for decis-
ION today.
Secretary Baker said today tho
baseball magnates will present
their argumnts to Provost Marshal
General Crowder today and that he
will confer later in the day with
General erowder.
Secretary Baker explained that
there are two theories advanced BY
the baseball maguates in their ef-
forts to induce the department 10
change its attitude.
"One group" the secretary said.
wants TO have the order modified
so as to provide that IT shall not
affect anybody automatically ard
that the order shall not apply 10 a
man until he has been notified BY
the local board. and the o,her group
wants a modification Of the order
providing that it shall not 20 into
effect until the end Of the present
season"
4 Chance?
Theoretically the order would
not apply unless a local board SAIL
ed a ball player before it to show
cause, but it is expected that local
boards, taking the Ainsmith case az
precedent, will at once apply the
work or fight order to bail playera
in deferred classifCations.
Secretary Baker said that in the
opinion he gave out in the Ainsmith
case he said the likelihood was that
the number of men affected would
not be enough to disorganize the
industry. The secretary said hs
now understands the baseball rep
resentatives are collecting data as
to the number of men who would
be affected, showing that it will
completely disorganize the indus
try. Whether such showing
would induce him TO modify the
regulation the secretary would not
say.
Actors and motion picture play
ers may he brought under the work
or fight rule as a result of a study
now in progress. Secretary Baker
said he had asked General Crowder
to report his recommendation as
to including other groups coming
within the classification Of amuse-
ments. He will act on these rec.
concentration when they are sub
mitted TO him.
