H is the last sort OF information that
should be spared the public. If reader
disliked to read it, the Stacker in the
question must have experienced a sensa-
tion of actual pain. And that, of course,
IS what slackers deserve.
Provost Marshal General Crowder has
ordered roundup of professional base
ball players who have been trying to avoid
service. He obtained his first information
relative to the matter from newspapers
clump of professional ball tossers was
upcovered yesterday in Wilmington ship
yard where they had themselves hired a
few days ago. OF instances like this it is
enough TO say that while the greatest
sporting adventure in the worlds history
IS afoot it has remained for ball players
themseives to prove that professional base.
