er said:
IF baseball Is nonessential, and
players Of selective service age have
to give up playing. the clubs will try
to find players that are not Of mill

there is a possibility that our ball
parks will have to be closed and the
season be brought to a close.
Since the selective act has been ef-
fective we have been operating with
the understanding that baseball was
being encouraged by the government,
and players have been responding as
they have been called under the pro-
visions of the act in great numbers
and many Of them have volunteered.
Baseball also has been during its
share Of war work in every way, and
baseball Is only too glad to comply
with the new regulations in every
way. having perfect confidence that

by the government or any depart

him half dozen or more hours OF

hold the kig twelve-round bout be-
tween Kid Williams and Young
CLANCY on June at Oriole Park. In
the enthusiasm of arranging the bout
the place to hold II was given scant
attention. 10 that when the articles

places to put the affair on indoors,

were considered 1t was apparent that
there was no theater or hall In BAlti-
more. excepting the. Armory, where
he could have put the bout and got as
good as an even break. Consequently.
there was never any thought than
that the match would be fought out
doors.
Bletzer's first thoughts ran to oriole
Park, but it was not long before ne
learned that Sam Harris had closed q
contract with Jack Dunn for the ex-
elusive use Of the park on Saturday
afternoons when the Birds do not per-
form there. Consequently, BIetzer did
not dilly-daliy. but Immediately
sought out Harris and talked turkey.
BIetzer was given q shock to learn
that Harris was practically ready TO
announce q show for June 1. Hen.
however. was undaunted and he put
UP q proposition to Harris which
made It well worth while for Sam to
lay off that day and turn over the use

We oppose such a scheme. There
