DRAFT ORDER HITS
STAGGERING BLOW.
TO BALL PLAYERS
Organized Ball Threaten
ed, Other Sports Hit
Lighter
By BUS HAM

WASHINGTON. Jan. A. B -
An all out Work-or-fight order
might land staggering blow on
organized baseball, b ut other
sports probably would be able to
continue.
This was the view today of
sports observers after recent com
ment by President Roosevelt and
War Mobilization Director Jimmy
Byrnes had percolated for a while.
Byrnes, in effect, asked Con-
gress for legislation to channel the
country's four million 4-Fs, includ-
ing rejected and discharged ath-
|letes, into war plants or limited
service in the armed forces.
The President said that he
thought such legislation would be
all right.
Baseball teams are on the road
about two weeks at a clip, which
would make it almost impossible
for players to qualify as war
workers. .
Under Byrnes' proposal til e
game would have to get along
with players who are not subject
to work-or-fight regulations, leav-
ing pretty thin pickings.
Professional football would be
on an entirely different footing, as
far as can be seen now.
The gridiron teams Of the east
ern and western divisions of the
national league, as an example,
play only on Sundays. Their long
est trips are overnight.
Washington could leave late Sat
urday afternoon for a game in
Chicago or Detroit, reach its des-
tination in ample time to prepare
for Sundays kickoff, and return
home early enough for it's players
to report on war jobs Monday
morning.
Practice sessions could be held
at night.
Some of these teams have been
operating under such conditions
for a year or two, especially those
in defense centers like Chicago
Detroit, Philadelphia n d Brook
lyn.
Many of their younger players
are war workers now, might moi
be affected by work-or-figh1
draft.
Hockey teams also would be
able to continue since many Of the
rinkrnen are Canadians.
Professional bong is an indi
vidual proposition with no direc'
city or league affect.
College teams, while losins
some players now classified 4-F
would be able to fill out theil
ranks with youngsters sufficiently
to carry out schedules.

he charged. Put the caddv fees
on top of that and it's more than
the men can afford. And some of
these fellows are back home after
completing so missions. and are
looking for little healthful recre-
alton.
ION top of that, the tournament
IN which I took part had a field
that included nearly so per cent
service men. Hardly any of them
had any chance at all of getting
any prize money out of it. Yet
they had to PUNK down their $40
entry fee just like civilians.
Its my contention that service
men should be permitted to play
on any course without paying a
greens fee, and should be permit
ted to enter any tournament with
out paying fee. That's the least
that could be done for then.''
We wouldn' know how general
the practice is either in Florida
or in other parts of the country.
of charging service m greens
fees and tournament entry fees,
but apparently enough of such pen
ny pinching came to Sarazen's no.
tice to arouse his resentment.
He's right, of course. about
service men being given every
possible opportunity to play golf
without having to touch their pock-
etbooks.
We can think of no other reason
for charging greens fees that are
probably prohibitive as far as
service men are concerned than
desire to keep service men off
the courses. as it is costing the
clubs nothing when the men play,
unless they are concerned with
few cents for soap and towels. The
courses already are there end
must be kept up whether one man
or 100 play them, and it is taken
for granted the service men who
want to plav golf are golfers and
are not going out there to use
their mashies as plows and take
divots out of green's
We wouldn't confine what might
be called freedom of the city, any
city, for service men to golf. We'd
let them enjoy free any sports
activity or event in which their
would not make any diff
ference one way or another. That |
is in cases where the event would
proceed whether they were there
or not The idea is that the making
ing of money off service men
doesn't seem right.
The boys are giving up too much
as it is, and aren't getting too
much money.

Off their short and long term

Eastern Football Group
Recommends Six Changes
To Modified Grid Rules

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-(UP)-
The Eastern intercollegiate Foot
ball Association today recommend
ed nationwide adoption of the
modified playing rules which were
used in the east during the 1914
season and found beneficial to the
game.
Asa Bushnell, commissioner of the
ETA, said his association had
polled the athletic directors and
football coaches of its 80 member
colleges and had found large ma
jorities of each group in favor OF
the modified rules.
accordingly, Bushnell said,
''the ETA has petitioned the
NCAA football rules committee to
incorporate the changes in the Of
fetal rules
Six rules were affected by the
revisions and they were:
l. prohibit use of out OF bounds
kickoff.
2. Permit use Of one-inch artifi-
cial tee for kickoff.
3. Lessen severity OF penalties
for illegal forward pass when made
beyond line of scrimmage reduce
to five yards from spot, down
counting) and when made by team
which did not put ball in play by
scrimmage Geduce to five YARDS.
q. Clarity off-side rule q. E., re-
turn to previous rule, by eliminat-
ing provision that penalty be ex-
acted in certain circumstances
whether or not the ball is snapped
5. Permit all fumbles to be ad-
vanced by opponents.
G. Permit forward passing from
any point behind line of scrim-
mage
