Government Wants Big League to Play, He Says —Proposal to Reduce the Schedule of Games Next Season to Be Considered, MEANS JOHNSON'S FINISH. Washington. Nov. 22.—That Han Johnson's suggestion. i*>r rxemi tion of big league baseball players should be the beginning of his end was the official view expressed at the provost marshal general'.' of fice today. Johnson s dea was ex tremely unpopular with General Crowder's closest advisers and was rejected as "the worst kind of pre cedent." as ' of ! ! I ! | ! ! i Chicago, Nov. 22.—Ban Johnson, president of the American league will ask the war department to grant ex emption from military service to 18 men on each of the 16 major league clubs, in order that baseball may con .lnuc during the war. Johnson said that while almost 90 per cent of the major league players ire eligible to the draft, so far as age Is concerned, a majority of them will come under class five in the new class ification, because of dependents physical defects. So a request that lS i men on each club be exempted will | S not be asking much of the war depart- j p ment, Ban thinks. ] "The government wants the big leagucs to open ln 1918, and there- j a fore I am confident ft will agree to some sort of a compromise that will permit the sport," said Johnson. HELPS NON-COMBATANTS. "With IS players to a team, I am sure we can maintain the standard of the game. If I thought fewer men coold hold the interest of the public, I would sugg' "t a smaller number. • If we arc allowed to keep a few men who might be of some value as fighters, l am confident they be of greater lu Ip to th" government as non combatants. If Interest can be main tained it will add to the war revenue, and thfre is a i hance that the club owner and not the fan will pay the 10 per cunt asse-sment. "With milite days and other r . ; , we can stimulate recrtiiting. as I believe the American league did last year with its dailv i xhibitlon of drill ing b> th play i. .' FAVQRS SHORT SEASON. Johnson announced that the annual j meeting of the American league will j be held here Dec. 12. one day after the national league meeting is called In New York. The proposition of re ducing the schedule from lo4 to 140 games will be decided at the two meet ings. Johnson is in favor of the short er season, as a war measure. The ma jority of the owners share his opin ion. tho notable exception being Charles Comiskey, president of the White Sox. PLAN A GOOD ONE THINKS COMISKEY Excelsior Springs. Mo., Nov. 22.— Charles Comiskey. owner of the world's champion White Sox, is heartily in ac cord with the proposed plan of ask ing the government to grant exemption from military service to 18 men on each of the 16 major league clubs, in order that baseball inay continue dur ing the war. "Yes. the White Sox can get along with IS men," Comiskey said today, when told of the plan as outlined by Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri can league. "Not only can we get »long, but put up a stiff fight for the pgnnant and give the public the brand of sport they need to relieve their minds of the tense war situation. "It Is u. grand iden. Uasehull will do the government a lot of good. I um Bure that the military events in which the members of the Sox club partic ipated last season proved a big lnflu «nee In stimulating recruiting. We have laid plans to du even more the coining: season. "The Sox would have carried their full quota of 25 players, if war had not interfered, but we will be glad to take 18 men, if allowed to do so by the gov ernment and then go out and do everything in our power for the gov ernment. With every club cut to the same number of men, it will be an equal race." NATIONAL LEAGUE TO ASK NO FAVORS President!^ri«" ment that he will ask the government <° e *empt is ball players on each major league club in this country. " r „"o'"' "Ô gest that baseball should even appear The national league will ask no such special favor. President Tenor today told the United Press he would not "go one inch toward Washington to ask Presi dent Wilson or the secretary of war shirk its duty at this time when si many parents are giving their son and when other business interests are | giving their best men to the services | of our armed forces and are making other sacrifices for the benefit of our country," the national league president declared. • TENER EMPHATIC. Governor Tener stated immediately after the United States entered Ui\ war that baseball would do its full share. Today he was more emphatic than ever in stating that such a plan as the American league head proposed, would not be approved by the national league. "It seems to me nothing could be further from the purpose of baseball," Tenor continued. "We cannot ask the government to grant us the slightest favor. "Baseball is a trifling thing com pared to the gaining of liberty for the nations of the world. I cannot state ' of discrimination in favor of its busi Notice for Publication of Time Ap pointed for Proving Will, Etc. In the Probate Court of the County of Ada. State of Idaho.
