3R the first time In his majestic
j League and member of the National
Bti has met defeat. He was overruled
Ad AtTlflPfin T.a)crMAa nn1 V(lftol
EffiSptfternoon. when the session was called to determine, the Immediate fate
B.V- of the major league playlnp season and the 1918 wprld's series.
?i''-v' Johnson took the position that when
mat beptember 1 was the date set as the maximum time limit allowed
players In the draft age to obtain essential employment or forthwith be
indiicted Into the service, he meant what he said. Apparently the
Natlonnl League moguls and subsequently the American League magnates
did not believe that the Secretary of War meant to carry out the Crowder
. work-or-flght order on the date named. If they did believe that the Secretary
gpiknew his own mind, they are now In
6?i-. Government In view nf the fact thjt
IftSet league season to September 2 and
E?r Secretary Baker meant to enforce the
' men ineir action is a personal siap at mm. n,o matter which way jou look
' at It, the decision of the heads of organized baseball to play a world's series
after Labor Day Is and long will be a black eve to tne national pastime.
Johnson Was Right
ALTHOUGH Ban suffered defeat at
" the hands of the other moguls,
there Is no doubt hat he was right
in his contention to close the season
not later than August 20. By closing
on that date, the plavers would have
ten days In which to make final ar
rangements for getting Into some es
sential Industry. Doubtless" most of
the players ha e already been angling
for essential Jobs. Even those who
have made arrangements to get such
positions must have a few das In
which to settle, down to the work.
Now, according to Secretary
Baker's ruling, the plaers were to
have landed essential Jobs by Sep
tember 1 or be drafted immediately
Into the service. Looking at the sit
uation In this 'light, it Is hard to
see how any other view of the mat
ter could be taken than that advo
cated by Johnson. He thought that
tha players should have about ten
Kfs days in which to settle up their nf
Kt jfairs and get into the line of worl
ork
prescribed by the Government. Hence,
he set August 20 as the date for the
ending of the American League sea
son, f
But the National League from the
start could not see stopping before
September 2. At the meeting In
Cleveland, Barney Dreyfuss, pleni
potentiary of the National League,
V.i made such an impression on the
S AnH.tAn. T nnrr.tn mnnliqllta tVflt t Vl P V
. voted over Johnson's head and de-
l&.nHed to play the series after Labor
II-TOav.
nJfe8, It is not Improbable that, despite
the; plans of the moguls, the au
thorities at Washington will look at
the matter as a den and will put a
crimp In all possibilities for n world's
scries by simply ordering those play
ers who are not at essential work to
go Immediately to camp. Baker has
said that he did not wish to injure
baseball, and upon this statement the
magnates of the two major leagues
are presuming to override him and
'the United States Government which
he represents as Secretary of War.
-The moguls might at least have
. made a final appeal for a ten-day ex
tension. But they did not. They took
the bull by the horns and tossed him
defiantly back at Mr. Baker, packed
ineir grips ana went nome.

SUNDAY BALL
IS PUT TO TEST
Shipbuilding Teams Ar

at Wilmington
BIG CROWD PRESENT
Wilmington, Del., Aug !i. After manv
years of legal lest of the old laws of
Delaware, commonly known at Blue
Laws, forbidding Sunday baseball nnd
all kinds of work on Sundays, Is on. It
started yesterday afternoon when, nt the
close of a gamo between the steel team
and the shipbuilding league team of the
Harlan plant of the Bethlehem Ship
building Corporation, the players of both
teams were arrested and then released
on their own tecognlzanco to appear In
the city couit yesterday. If the law Is
upheld by this court and the men are
fined htey will take an appeal to the
higher court.
There were no sensational features
connected with the first Sunday game.
The police had given notice to the men
that If they played they would be ar
rested, and the men replied that they
had decided to play in order to test the
law.
Whether the crowd In attendance wab
attracted by the prospects of the men
being m rested or the popularity of Sun
day baseball, thete were at least 3000
persons. Including a number of women,
In the grounds to see the game. Chief
ot Police Black, Police Sergeant Schell,
Police Sergeant L. C. King- and Detec

playing together as partners for the
first time this season, defeated Jerome
D. Travers and John O. Anderson by 1
up on tho Shenecossett links here yester
day In one of the best played Red Cross
matches of, the season The match
looked as If the Bostonlans were surely
beaten on the fifteenth green, when they
were 1 down, hut Guilford, who had
been erratic ln the early stages, came to
lite and with a birdie 3 on the sixteenth
and another one on the home hole
pulled the match out of the fire.
Anderson was better acquainted with
the course than his partner and carried
his side through many tight places. He
was around ln 74 He got the best score
of the four Travers came to his rescue
on two holes when needed badly Oulmet
was the next best, with a 76, but his
driving was far steadier than the others.
Guilford was wild at times, but showed
flashes of his old form 'from the tee
'One thousand five hundred dollars was
raised for the rted Cross fund.

FINE ENTRY FOR
BRITISH CLASSIC
Gainsborough and Gay
Crusader to Run for
Jockey Cup
According to the racing gossip from
over the feas, the Hngllsh followers of
the sport are all excited over the prom
ised meeting of Gainsborough, this
year's Derby and Gold Cup winner, and
Gay Crusader, the great four-year-old,
und the animal now considered the best
racer on earth.
Both are entered for the Jockey Club
Cup nt the Newmarket Houghton meet
ing, and should they face the barrier
tho tussle will be the greatest of this
or any other generation. The pair were
to have tested each other's speed In the
Gold Cup, which was won by Gains
borough, but Gay Crusader was
scratched, as his owner, A. B. Cox, did
not think that he was ready for so
grueling a contest.
Anyway, Gay tCrusader is, like his
sire, Bayardo, a bit soft on the hnnf.
and does not relish galloping on hard
erouna. rnts is bald to be the chief
reason for his withdrawal. Heretofore
the Jockey Club affair was worth $50,
000 to the winner, but until tho close
of the war It was decided to curtail the
money end of the contest by substituting
a gold cup worth about $10,000.

KID WILLIAMS
GETS $1 A YEAR fi
Former Bantam King Now M
Is Boxing Instructor at
Camp Holabird
REFUSES S1800 SALARY s$
At a salary of $1 a year. Kid, Williams,
former world'H bantamweight champion.
Is now working for the United Stales.
Government. No, It Isn't that the Tiger's
services are worth f.o little. He flatly re
fused $1800 for the same Job, which H
a spirit of patriotism unequaled by any
prominent ring star.
Williams received official notification
yesterday that he had been appointed
boxing instructor at Camp Holabird, a
position ho has beon filling for several
months.
The appolnlme'nt by the Government ii
was brought about thtoug'.i an effort of Ui''
a newspaper man In Baltimore to injure
Williams by lequestlng those In charge
of tho enforcement ot tho work-or-flght
law to Investigate his case. This scribe
had "learned" that the Tiger was at-.
tempting to beat the spirit of the law J i
by serving as a salesman In Arthur Kad
uin s hat store,
Williams Was called up and asked at I ifi
what essential occupation he was se
serv- t "ft
lng. He frankly stated that his work In
the store was merely done without cost
to neip out a mend during his spare .
moments. His essential work he declared
was at Camp Holabird, where dally he
teaches 5000 doubhboys the rudiments
of the manly tit t of self-defense, which
has been declared by military experts so
essential In bajonet fighting.
But the Kid said his appointment
Wasn't OlllClal. The I'ntrm ,inin.annn
was called'ln. He promptly declared that . Y
ivmiains's worn was essential ln tho
extreme and stated -that tho Kid had ;
he refused to accept jiny monetary con. Yjfm

must be paid. To straighten out tha mat.
