Final decision as to the. time when the work or fight regulations shall become applicable to baseball players, was postponed until today. Representatives of the club owners were in conference yesterday with Provost Marshal General Crowdtr, who is expected to make a recommendation to Secretary Baker. The. owners contend the number of men who would be affected would be sufficient to disorganize the business. War department officials have begun a study of the regulations with a view to amending them to include all engaged in frport or amusements. If that were done the order exempting the motion picture Industry might be revoked. All Big League Players Invited to Join Navy GREAT LAKES. 111., July 24.

JACK The "work, or fight" order is not expected to Interfere with the running of the international sweepstakes at Speedway park July 28. Every driver who will compete and every man connected with the management 13 well over the draft age. The succesful driver of the modern, high speed machine with its airplane type motor mu6t possess exceptional judgment and self-control that comes only with mature years. The five entrants to qualify are: Ralph Mulford, United States; Louis Chevrolet, France; Arthur Duray, Belglum; Dario Resta, England; Ralph De Palma, Italy. Chevrolet is the "daddy" of them all, having just passed his fifty-third birthday. The daring Frenchman has been manipulating the racing wheel for more than twenty years and is still flashing along with the best of them. Duray, who, though a native of Belgium, has Just finished three and a half years of fighting with the French army, is 49 years old. He, too, has been driving for more than twenty years, and in 1913 established the world's speed record of 147 miles an hour over a one kilometer course at Ostend, France. De Palma is close to the 40 year mark, while Resta and Mulford, the kids among the best drivers of today, are each 38 years old. Bob Larmore, the Cardinal's utility inflelder, who is the first young man on record ever to play with a major Club While Still a Ktiidpnt In hleh ! 8cnool ,8 abont to enlist in the navy, i-armore nrsi auainea prominence as an athlete at the Central Hiarh school in St. Louis. This spring he was given a trial with the Cardinals and, making good, signed a contract with that club. He continued to oursue his studies in the high school, however, and, upon the closing of the daily sessions, would make his way to the ball park and don a uniform. A few weeks ago he was farmed out to the Houston club of the Texas League, but when that organization suspended operations because cf the war, he was recalled by Jack Hendricks. War Secretary Baker's ruling that baseball is a non-essential occupation and that the players come under the "work or fight" order was not unexpected. It is entirely in line with the straightforward, decisive, determined way Washington officials are going ahead to accomplish America's one object That Is, to win the war. They mean to let no obstacle stand in the way. Baseball moguls argued that: The parks and properties tied up would be rendered worthless and idle if the players were included in the order. The players are highly trained in baseball as an occupation and know no other trade. The public needs professional baseb 11 1 h PTDi f national cro t- a Ifs true that the narks MllHin J grand stands and other equipment ' " -"o ; would be of little value for anything outside of baseball. But the magnates have only themselves to blame. Had they showed the proper patriotic spirit from tUe beginning by making those properties produce thousands of dollars for various war funds while earning a fair return for the owners, the government might have seen the matter in a different light. But while leaders in other major sports, tennis, golf, etc., proceeded to center their efforts entirely on boosting the recruitof men, the staging of benefit matches and all other methods of aiding in the prosecution of the war, the magnates were doing what? With one or two exceptions , they were busily engaged in cuting down their own expenses, increasing their own revenue by raising admission prices and in soeing how few war benefit games they could stage and get by. When Clark Griffith started the bat and ball fund to provide our boys in France an in U. S. cantonments with equipment fans and sport writers suggested that several days be arranged at every park for the benefit of the fund. The magnates finally arranged to give a percentage of one day's receipts to the cause. While they were opening their hearts In this way they saw to it that pop corn, peanuts, ice cream and drinks netted them increased revenue. And they sought to save their skins by arguing that the ball players were untrained in any other occupation. They asked that two or three hundred full-grown men, in perfect physical condition, capable of furnishing 100 per cent service in an essential occupation to aid in successfully prosecuting the war, be allowed to continue devoting two or three hours a day on bright days to playing. They argued that the public needs the great national game to keep healthy. 1 Washington called the turn on all arguments. The properties may have to He idle except for special occasions for war benefits. But they are not playing any vital part in the

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM,

winning of the war. The players may be untrained in ther pursuits. But a strong, healthy man can be taught to be a valuable man in an essential occupation in a short time. The public does need baseball the national game as a sport. But the amateur teams playing in the open parks will furnish sport for the fan3 and millions of men and boys who are now playing one-cat in their back yard, the street or corner lot will keep right on with this healthful sport The writer is a lover of baseball as a sport He would like to see the big leagues continue and hopes they do. They can by recalling old players above the draft age and by calling in younger players now starring in minor circuits and amateur leagues. But the writer has felt all along as though the magnates were laying back in the harness patriotically because their love for the almighty nickel was their ruling passion. Maybe this will be a lesson for them and they will handle the game with a better spirit when the war ends. MILLER-KEMPER TEAM WILL PLAY SUNDAY For the first time this year the Miller Kemper baseball team will appear on the field and as an opening game will play at Whitewater against the j invincibles Sunday, JulyN28. Two years ago the Miller-Kemper factory put a fast bunch of players on the field and won the city championship. This year Manager Feasel has been trying to get a team together but because of the war and general conditions he has been unable to do so until the present time. The Richmond team and the Whitewater men are tied in games won and lost, as two years ago two games were played and each team won a game. The game Sunday will break the tie for the first time.
