CLEVELAND, August 5.-President

Gates that he will mot consent to
staging the worlds series after Sep
tember I, as contemplated by club
owners of the National League. The
American League executive left for
Cleveland with the vote Of six Of the
eight club owners in favor of his
plan to close the championship sea-
son on or about August 20. and then
play . worlds series within the
eleven days remaining before the
first Of the month.
7 shall obey Secretary Baksr's or
ders to the letter.. President John
son said. ~T personally will not be q
party to a base ball game played
after September 1. think the club
owners Of the American League will
unanimously agree with my views
after the situation is thoroughly
discussed today. The government
gave US our orders in declaring base
ball non-essential: we are duty bound
to follow them out"
James c. Dunn, owner of the C1eve-
land club, and Charles A. Comiskey,
president of the Chicago Americans,
accompanied President johnson.
Dunn is strongly N favor of ending
the season in accordance with Presf-
dent Johnson's suggestions. Mr..
Comiskey. while opposed to the early
closing, said he would cast his vote

By DENMAN THOMPSON.

CLEVELAND, August 3.-Today the
magnates of the American League are
gathered here to decide whether the
season shall run on true to the end
of the month, with the world series
games staged the first week in Octo-
ber. or end August 20, with the title
set following Immediately thereafter.
SO that by the 1st Of September the
base ball slate will be wiped clean.
On the one side are Manager Grifiith
of the Washington club and Owner
Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox.
who strongly favor playing out the
string this month and, possibly. going
over two days to take in Labor day.
Aligned against them are the mag
mates of the other six clubs In addi-
tion to Ban johnson, the league ex-
ecutive. whose suggestion was that
the schedule be bobbed. Notwith-
standing the odds against Comiskey
and himself. Griffith is confident his
plan will be adopted. for he has the
backing of Garry Hermann. chairman
of the national commission and presi-
dent of the Cincinnati Reds; Presi-
dent Tener and practically every club
owner in the National League. The
value of this support Is readily ap-
parent. as without the consent of the
National League no world series is
possible.
Manager Grifith came to Cleveland
last night to attend the league meet

him by President Minor to represent

81 am going to hold out right to the
finish for continuing the schedule
through to the end of this month.
This talk that the government on
cials do not want base ball and ex-
poet all major league activities to be
ended by September 1 simply proves
that the talkees are poorly informed.
The government never has opposed
base ball. I know the authorities
would be glad to sec the sport con-
tinued. They merely stipulate. Justly,
that the prosecution Of the war shan
in no manner be hampered or inter-
fered with by the failure Of able
bodied players Of draft age to engage
in essential occupations.
With play continued through this
month and the world series held the
first week in October. the players Of
only two of the sixteen clubs would
be unable on account of the title
games to Immediately engage in es-
sential work. All of these players
will not be subject to the work or
doubt but that those who are will be
considered to have complied with
Gen. Crowder'S edict in otaining pro-
ductive employment within a week Of
the time 1t goes into effect. To play
until September 1 is the only sensible
thing to do. 1t will better enable the
clubs to meet the players salaries
and other oligations they have con-
tracted for, and 1t will give five clubs,
two in the National and three in the
American League. a chance for PEN
nants instead Of practically assuring
them to the two present leaders. This
naturally will mean moro interest in
the races and bigger crowds"
According to Grifith it is unlikely
there will be any compromise on the
closing date. although it has been
suggested that splitting the differ
ence" by deciding upon August rs
might prove acceptable

that he had been appointed boxing
Instructor at Camp Holabird. posi-

an effort of a newspaper man in this

that the Tiger was attempting to beat
the spirit of the law by serving as a

AS a result of landing the first Of

the Nationals improved their position
in the pennant race, gaining a full
game on the Red Sox, who were
licked in Cleveland. Six and q half
games now separate the Griffs from
the leaders, and the Indians remain
two games ahead OF Washington II
1t should SO happen that Cleveland
cleans up with Boston while the
Griffs are turning the same trick in
Detroit. the Capital crow would be

with Fohfs team next week.
Washington's chance for taking
four straight may be considered
gone. Dauss is the only really de-
pendable pitcher Jennings has and
he was removed from consideration
yesterday. as the series will be end

bath instead Of single games tomor-
row and Monday. Shaw is the Crit
