Chairman: august hkhhmann. of the National Baseball Commis sion, Issued a statement here last night relative to Secretary of War Baker's de cision placing baseball In ,the list of non essentials. Mr. Herrmann said: "It is npparent that Secretary Baker has given the matter his most serious consideration, and his conclusions are beyond doubt based upon the highest mo llies possible in the matter. Just what the method of piocedure of the club own ers H to Iim is one that will b deter mined upon In the next few days, but I am sure there is only one conclusion that we will come to, and that Is that constituted authority must and will be upheld by all Interested parties. "Ills suggestion Hint many of the play ers are beyond the draft age and there fore It Is bv no means certain that com plete dlsoiganUation of the huslness will follow on account of the order Is one iliat will ho a matter for the clubs to determine. As all of the clubs in both major leagues will be In transit on Sunr day evening, there Is no doubt that It will lemaln In status quo for a few days. "The Interested parties will take up with the proper authorities at onco the mode of procedure in closing nut the business tcmpoiarlly if it is deemed neces sary to do so. AVc must have a ruling at once as to tho htatus of the players In seeking essential employment, the length of time io be given them to do so and whether It will be necessary to applv to the local board having orig inally jurisdiction over him. I am assuming tho player In securing essen tial employment will be permitted to do so anywhere that he can obtain It, whether at home or In the city or vicin ity in which his club Is located. "Personally I believe with Sectetary Baker that persons who attend outloor sports such as baseball are In need of them, are neipen ny inese Brcai. nuiiuiiai made more efficient, Industrially and so cially, by ihe relaxation that they there enjoy, and therefore some time may be devised to the end that the game will continue In some manner or other until the close of the season, having in mind that the order must and will be re spected. The baseball Interests have been loyal and patriotic, and will con tinue to be so. The order will be re spected to the very letter," Major Leagues to Go On New York, July 20.

FRAZEE HAS SCHEME SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS Would End Season and Leave Red Sox Pennant Winners llonton, July 20. A suggestion to end the major league baseball season at the completion of 100 names of the schedule. with a world's championship scries be tween the winning clubs In tho Amer ican and National League clubs early next month In case President Wilson upholds the ruling of Secretary Ilaker that baseball plavers come under the "work or fight" order, was telegtaphed to the National Haseball Commission by President II.

President Frazee said he would not consider the possibility of continuing the season with the array of Inferior players it would be necessary to call upon to fill up the roster of the various clubs. Of the lied Sox stars only Shean. Wagner Whlteman and Trucsdale would be left." Shean and Wagner are the only regulars.

Palmer, It will be remembered, was the most wonderful fighter the, Kngllsh could boast of, not forgetting such ster ling boxers as Freddy Welsh, the former lightweight champion, and Jem Dris coll, one of the greatest featherweight boxers that has been seen In action In this country. Among somo of the boxers from this country Palmer fought were George Dixon, the colored marvel: Billy Dim mer, Dave Sullivan and Billy Botchford. Palmer met his first defeat at the hands of the late Terry McOovern, when he was stopped by one punch In 1899. This knockout Is the quickest victory ever won In a championship battle. Palmer retired from the prize ring In 1912 after being beaten by Joe Bowker and Ben Jorden. Palmer deserves lots of credit for en listing at that age to serve his country.
