NEW DRAFT LIKELY TO PASS NEXT WINTER

Washington, D. C., June 14. — Prospective extension of the draft age to include practically all the able bodied men of the country and proposed changes ‘in the existing conscription regulations came to the fore yesterday. The important developments were: Representative Kahn, ranking republican member of the house committee on military affairs, stated that the war department intends to present to congress at the winter session, an amendment to the selective draft law making the draft age 18 to 49 years. Secretary of War Baker said the department does not contemplate this move now, but would not commit himself as to the future. Senator Smith, of Michigan, member of the committee on foreign relations, asserted that by virtue either of the effect of the pending draft treaty with Great Britian or an alleged secret agreement among the allies the American draft age is to be fixed soon at 18 to 49 years. Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, disclosed the intention of the administration to procure the amendment of'the draft law so as to exempt from military service aliens have taken jjut first. American citizenship papers. Provost Marshal General Crowder reached a decision to recommend to the secretary of war the exemption of professional baseball players from the operation of the “work or fight” order during the remainder of the baseball season. Director General McAdoo requested the provost marshal general to exempt all railroad men of draft age, and the coal mine 7 operators of the country made a similar appeal applicable to miners. The professional baseball players of draft age will not be required to “work or fight” till next winter if Secretary Baker, and eventually President Wilson, approve General Crowder’s recommendation of temporary exemption. The managers have said that if the government will suspend the application of the order to baseball players until after the close of the present season they will ask nothing further and will prepare for the next season with the understanding that no men of draft age will be employed in the game.

A Galley O' Fun!

THE SCORE FIEND. Now that base ball 1b abroad in the land, ft isapropos to speak briefly of the score flend. The score fiend is to be found both In the grand-stand and on the bleacher. Not so vociferous as the rooter, nor so tormenting as a woman, he is worse than the two pet together. The genuine score fiend is a quiet, patient individual, with a stubby leadpencil and an anxious frown. When you have set next to him onoe, you will recognise him next time and stay off. His is the stern resolve to tabulate for each player in each inning, on the score card, assists, put base hits, and all the rest of these vastly important facts. Then, when the game is ended, ho tears up tbs card. ▲n through the game hs Is In a state of watchfulness; his strained attention and his mental struggles showing in the wrinkles of his lorehead. Brilliant plays matter not to Mm. At a critical stage in ths contest a man lines out a hot one to short-stop, who misses it. The crowd is on its feet, yelling like mad. The score fiend cheers not No; not hoi He inquires, earnestly: * “Did the short-stop touch KT Think not? Ahl that’s a base hit, then.” Thereupon he sinks back in his seat, Inscribes a hieroglyphic sign to the northeast corner of the diamond opposite the batter’s name and patiently awaits for something to place in the southeast corner. The bases are fun, and a batter of the local team brings everybody in, himself reaching third. Pandemonium!—but with the score fiend and his brother score fiends cold as icicles. “That was only a two base hit Error for center,** he remarks, and his little pencil records these marvelous items. Second jumps high into the air, and gobbles, with one hand, a ball that was going like a streak. The score fiend rewards this brilliant by saying, sotto voice: ""That ought to have been a safe hit,** and he impassively makes a nots of it The score fiend never goto excited —save when he is unable to decide whether that was an error, or this was a base hit, or something else wao an assist. He never shouts, “Kill the umpire!” If the umpire should be killed, tho score fiend would, of course, conscientiously enter the Incident on his score card, in the proper place. ▲nd, as I have said, when the game Is over the score fiend, his labors finished, destroys the product of his afternoon.

HIS OBJECTION.

"Moneygrab is apprehensive of the tendency to organise Trusts In all lines ot business." "Heist Why?” "Why, hs fears that after a while .the Trusts will be engaged in cutthroat competition."
