players must make up their minds
soon.
ARE UNCERTAIN
Trying to make up their minds,
under current conditions, the ath-
letes must find themselves in a well
ter of uncertainty. Their employers,
the club owners, and the major
league officials apparently intend to
continue the game, since no gov
ernmental red light has been raised
against it. But War Mobilization
Director Byrnes and President
Roosevelt are urging that every
available man either work or fight,
although no congressional act has
made this mandatory as yet.
The majority of major leaguers
are 4-F's or service discharges who
have been tabled physically unfit
by examining physicians. At Byrnes'
request, most of them will be re-
examined. Doubtless, most of these
men feel that they have as much
right to return to their baseball jobs
as any other citizen has a right to
return to his, after being declared
unfit for military service. Baseball
is their business-their means of
livelihood.
EARNED STANDING
Most of them plugged away in the
minors for several years before
reaching the big time. Because of
the proficiency they have attained
in their profession, they naturally
make mere money-and can MAIN
tain their families at better stand
ard of living-than if they depended
upon wages in war plants or on
farms. In this respect. they are no
different from singers, musicians,
actors, etc.
But from another angle, there is
a big difference. The R-F's and dis
charges of the diamond make their
living in a calling where widespread
publicity is given their physical
prowess. AS the war tension tightens,
it becomes more and more difficult
for uniformed skeptfcs to reconcile
their prowess afield with their ap-
parent inability to get into the fight
their inability to join the less
athletic ribbon clerks, office work.
