Base Ball, War and Work.

If the scope Of the "work or fight"
order with relation to professional
sports, under which, according to the
decision just rendered by Secretary
Baker, base ball players must join a
productive occupation or enter mill
tary service, is so broadened as to in.
clude other forms Of public entertain
ment there can be no possible dissent
from the decision. The Secretary's rul-
ing is essentially sound and will un-
doubtedly be accepted in q patriotic
spirit by those engaged in and con-
nected with the national game. The
only point on which there has been any
difference Of opinion with respect to
the propriety and justice Of requiring
base ball players to "work or fight" has
been that as ii stands the general or
der discriminates between them and
members Of other so-called professions
of entertainment anG amusement, ac-
tors and concert singers. On this point
the Secretary says that the scope Of
the order should be enlarged to include
other classes Of persons whose profes-
sional occupation is solely that Of en-
tertainment.
Whether this ruling will put q stop
to the playing Of professional base ball
games by the drafting or the shifting
into productive industries of the ma
jority Of the players remains to be
seen. Ali of the major league clubs
are comprised mainly Of men Of draft
age. There is not one Of the sixteen
clubs, with possibly single exception,
that could put a playing team in the
field comprised Of men over the draft
age. Consolidation Of the two major
league circuits might yield q sufficient
number Of competent players to per-
NIT the continuance Of the game in
eight cities, with recruits Of the "vet-
eran" class drawn from their full or
semi-retirement. Naturally base hall
managers will hesitate about @devel-
oping" youngsters who may be taken
for military service in q season or
two.
An immense sum Of money is invest
ed in professional base ball, and there
will undoubtedly be very heavy loss
to stockholders if the game is aban.
doned for the period Of the war. This,
however. is only one of .he incidental
losses due to tho condition of world
conflict now prevailing, and must be
suffered if it is an unavoidable conse-
quence Of conditions. Other indus
tries have lost as heavily.
A suspicion prevails that some Of the
base ball players have already gone
into so.called industrial employment in
order to avoid military service, but are
actually engaged In ball playing In the
various "leasues" representing these
industries. Every ono Of these mon
should bs put into the service at once.
Il the national game 10 to b broken
up in order TO increase the man power
Of. the country, those who are forced
out Of 1t should be made sctuaily to

Mrs. r. S. Downs and son spent last
Thursday at Jacks Cabin with her sis.
ter, Mrs. Lang Spann. Memorial day
was observed in decorating the
graves and finishing up new lot
which they have made in honor OF
their mother and brother who are bur
led there. 1t will be remembered that
over some twenty years ago, Mrs
Imoborsteg Of Oversteg, Colorado
died at that place and was buried
there on the ranch. Last fall by the
consent of all the children, the body
was removed to consecrated soil Of
the cemetery ut Jacks Cabin, lying
by her son, Fred Imobesteg, who was
buried there some years ago.
The children must be given praise
for this work in honor of their moth
er. It shows great improvement in the
cemetery at that place as the lot is
made to enclose both bodies by . ce-
ment walling and a large head stone.
At this time there are eight chill
