BASEBALL A "NONESSENTlAL"
Secretary Baker Makes Ruling in
Eddie Ainsmith Case-Players
Must Work or Fight.

Washington, July 20.-ProfessiOnal
baseball players Of draft age must
work or fight Immediately, and the
draft regulations may be changed
soon to include theatrical performers
and moving picture players and en-
ployees among those to seek new jobs
or face induction into the army.
Secretary Baker settled the ques-
ton on Friday, so far as baseball is
concerned, in an unqualified decision
holding the game nOnproductive oc-
cupatiOn and saying, so far from
amending the regulation to exempt
ball players he believed the scope OF
it's provisions SHOULD be so enlarged
as to include other classes of persons
whose professional occupation is sole
~ that of entertaining.
The decision was given on appeal
in the case of Eddie Ainsmith, the
Washington American catcher recent
ly ordered to work by local board.
which came up to the secretary with
q suggestion from the board that the
regulations should be changed to ex-
empt ball players.

TEUTONS LEAVE
WOUNDED BEHIND
Scene of DesoIation at Chateau
Thierry.
EQUIPMENT Is ABANDONED
Houses Are Sacked by Foes, Who
Carry Away Everything of Value
That Is Portable-SoIdiers
Feed Civilians.

With the American Army on the
Marine, July 23.-Even anti aircraft
guns were called into use in pursuing
the Germans in their flight from the
Marine.
AS the Germans retreated, French
field guns mounted on automobiles
dashed up and down the roads, sprink-
ling the retiring enemy with shrapnel.
Every available piece of artillery was
used. The high-angle guns were en-
ployed chiefly because of their great
mobility.
Abandon Supplies.
The enemy abandoned quantities of
supplies and ammunition in their hur-
ried retreat. They left behind seven
light machine guns, automatic rifles
and other equipment. All had been
discarded by the fleeing soldiers.
With marvellous rapidity the French
and American batteries were pulled
from their emplacements and rushed
forward, Smelling the fugitives ac-
cording to directions wirelessed from
airplanes.
The Americans used the steel
bridges which the Germans had en-
placed over the Marine in Mondays
offensive to get their field guns
across to the northern bank.
Mounted troops were sent dashing
northward, while long-range guns
began to rumble, throwing steady
stream of shells against Fere-en-
Tardenois and Ville-en-Tardenois.
Few German prisoners were re-
ported in the initial stage of the
German retreat from the Marine
However, many wounded Germans
were found abandoned in the Chateau
Thierry hospital Most Of them had
been gassed. A few wounded French
from the June battle, and also a cou-
pie of wounded Americans from the
Bouresches fighting, were found.
Tales of Abuse.
Chateau Thierry had suffered badly
from artillery fire when the French
Americans and Germans fought four
days for the city early in June, but
the Germans had forced the civilians
to clean up the debris and build bar
ricades in the squares and streets.
The Germans had sacked the
houses, carrying off everything of
value that was portable. But it was
difficult to ascertain what was wanton
damage and what was the effect of
shell fire.
The soldiers emptied their KNAPP
sacks to feed the civilians and were
greatly embarrassed when embraced
and kissed by aged men and women
The delight of these old people at
the sight of their American deliver
ers was pitiable to behold.
