NATIONAL GAME HIT BY RULING OF SEC. BAKER

Decision That Baseball is Non-essential Industry May Close Down Leagues. WASHINGTON, July 20. Baseball is a nonproductive and nonessential industry. Ball players are hit by the "work or fight" order; they must shift tnio essential industries or. lose such

i deferred classifications in the draft as j they have received through dependen- ! cles and other reasons.

Such was the decision of Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, Friday, in the appeal of Edward Ainsmith, catcher of the Washington team of the American League. The decision sis regarded in baseball circles as tantamount to the disbandment of organized baseball for the duration of the war. While many ball players are beyond the draft age, it is said there are not enough to furnish the brand of baseball that the major league patrons demand, and baseball next yer probably will be furnished largely by semi-professional leagues. The argument on which ball players and their club owners hung their highest hopes, and which was also regarded by the secretary' as the most important was: That baseball has been accepted as the national sport of the peopl3 of the

United States that affords wholesale

outdoor relaxation and enjoyment to large numbers of the American people and is to many workers and business men of the United States almost the only opportunity for such recreation, so that to bring -ibout the cessation of professional baseball, would work a ocial and industrial harm out cf proportion to the military loss involved by the exemption of the limited number of players in question. This consideration is, of course, the serious one," says Secretary Baker. "Is the one which has brought about the present appeal to the president. The stress of intensive industry and occupation in America in normal times is such as to give the highest importance and social value to outdoor recreation. But the times are not normal, the demand of the army and the country are such that we must al! make sacrifices, and the nonproductive employment of able-bodied persons, useful in the national defense, either as military men or in the industry and commerce of our country, cannot be justified. The country will be best satisfied if the great selective process by which our army is recruited makes.no discrimination among men, except thosa upon which depend the preservation of business and industry of the country essential to the successful prosecution of the war."
