48 HOURS GRACE IS
GIVEN To BASEBALL
Believed That Decision of Secretary
Baker VIII Also InAlude
Work or Fight" Rule.

Washington, July 22.--With forty
eight hours grace given organized
baseball tonight by Provost Marshal
General Crowder it is believed the
final decision by Secretary of War
Baker affecting the sport will also In
clude an amplification of the work or
fight rule.
There is slight doubt that baseoa!fs
future-that Is, the game played pro-
fessionally by men OF draft age-will
be of short duration. Secretary OF
War Baker, in addition, today ad-
mitted that the war department is
now considering the status of theatri-
cal performers. jockeys and persons
connected with all amusements, with
respect to their status under the
work or fight" order.
On the plea of President Minor, Of
the Washington American league ball
club, and Clark Griffith, it's manager,
General Crowder decided this after
noon to allow a brief to be filed on
behalf of baseball.
Other club owners have wired that
time be allowed to plead their case,
and for this reason the conference
that was to have been held today
between General Crowder and Secre-
tary Baker was postponed until We'd
nesday.
The baseball moguls, It is under
stood. want permission TO finish out
the season with their present teams,
but their request is not expected TO be
granted. II is presumed they will be
told there are sufficient men. both be-
low and above the draft age, to play
fair sample OF ball.

LYRIC PROGRAM BREATHES
NOT OF SUMNER SPIRIT

The new Lyric program Is not an
antidote for the tired suElmer weather
that pervaded Richmond yesterday.
and it is not to be prescribed for such.
In fact, every one of the actors work
their hardest in strenuous numbers.
The nearest to something redliy
novel was seen in '1nbad. the Sailor
This little sketch succeeded in keep
ing the swarm that packed the theater
at yesterdays matinee to its seats un-
til the curtain fell. The sailor, Arthur
Huston, did nothing out OF the ordin-
airy, but he was particularly graceful
and agile for a male. The sketch was
clothed in delightful scenery and fur
nishings,
Stevens and Lovejoy open with some
lines that are dull and close their act
with some whirlwind dancing that Is
a wonder. The pair stepped about in
a remarkable way, which brought
volumes of sincere applause, Rome
and Hanev get hv with lot of silly
stuff, and Ed. F. Reynard works a. lot
of dummies in "A Morning In Hicks
Vile Court" AS a ventriloquist. Mr..
Reynard may be all right, but his
scene failed TO cause any excitement.
Ford West and Joe Coffman created
many laughs in blackface sketch.

FIGHT SHINE BALL WITH
SHINE BALL AND KILL IT

Griff announced publicly that he had
instructed every pitcher on his stan
to use the shine ball and all of them
with the exception of johnson were
getting away with 1t. Johnson refused
to use the ball because he was afraid
he could not control it and to use his
own words. Il don't want to kill any
one in this league"
The effect of Griff's ruse was first
shown when Nick Altrock, a pitcher
who had not been on the mound for
seven years. beat Detroit with 1t A
few days later johnson acted.
From the limited use by Cicotte and
Danforth, Of the Chicago club. the
shine ball spread to practically every
club in the league. The pitchers who
have been using 1t this year include
Finneran and Mogridge, OF the YAM
KEGS, Myers, OF Philadelphia, Erickson
and James, of Detroit. Ayers, Harper
and Shaw, of Washington, Groom and
Morton. of Cleveland, and Davenport
of ST Louis. The Boston club is the
only one not using ii.
Most of these pitchers. however,
were using the ball in self-defense
against the Chicago attack.

Just about a year ago some of the
more watchful batters of the Ameri-
can league decided that Eddie CT
cotte's remarkable pitching was due
to something more than just natural
ability.
Time after time the ball Eddie used
was protested and some of the balls
were sent to Ban Johnson with the re-
quest that he determine what Eddie
was putting on the sphere.
1t was the birth of the shine ball

that he was doctoring the hall with
paraffine or any stb~r substance, and
although Johnson refused to take &C

American league players and man

grew so rapidly that finally Johnson
was forced to rule that umpires must
not permit the use of a disclosed
ball in the game.

so many men II is absolutely neces-

on the average one-mule farm nine
and eight-tenths acres OF cotton were
cultivated The ratio was found 10

for SIX mule farms. The average for
thirty farms of all classes were fifteen

should learn the maximum number
