New York, Sept. 3.-More than TO-
00C suspected draft evaders had been
herded tonight into the armories Of
New York and nearby cities after the
most vigorous Stacker hunt since the
United States entered the war. It
was estimated officially that from Is
to 80 percent of this number were
"Wilful slackers." The drive started
early today in this city, Westchester
county and nearby New Jersey COM
munities. will continue until it is be-
lieved that all draft evaders have
been caught, according to Charles F.
De Woody, chief of the New York
Bureau of Investigation of the de-
partment of Justice.
Tonight hundreds Of mothers,
wives and sisters besieged the cor
rails. In many instances where pris-
oners had simply left their registra-

Special examining boards toiled far
into the night, disposing of the cases
as rapidly as possible. More than 200
prisoners, in whose cases attempts to
evade the draft were proved. were
summarily taken to Fort Jay and
Camp Upton, there to don the uni
form. or, in some instances, to be
court martialled as deserters.
AS the task of housing. feeding and
guarding the suspects became hourly
more serious, Mr.. De Woody conferred

for the opening game Of the wartime
worlds series between the Chicago Ma

and the players are in perfect physical
condition.
Manager Mitchell. of the National
League champions drove his players
through an hour of batting drill at Com

off the final practice with spirited

up in dashng form and Mitchell left
the field satisfied that they are ready
for the series.
The Red Sox reached Chicago too late
to engage in practice and Manager Bar
rows sent them early to bed for re-
freshing nights sleep. The American
League pennant winners are quartered
at hotel a short distance from the
baseball park and may take a brief
workout to loosen up their muscles to-
morrow morning.
While neither of the rival leaders
would announce for publication tn

pected to start eft-hander-either
