LEAGUE BATTING AVERAGES SOON WILL BE REPLACED BY BATTLING FIGURES OVER THER "-w -SW IF IV I I .l ft SOLDIERS' PAPER IGNORES BASEBALL UNTIL ALLIES WIPE HUN OFF THE MAP Stars and Stripes, Published in France for U. S. Forces, Will Print No More Scores Until the War Has Ended By ROHERT W. MAXWEU. Nxtrt Ktlltor Krnlnc rubllr fitcir TDECAL'Sn. Il has been decided that professional baseball In Hie United States is not essential and the soldiers In the trenches hae lost all t Intorcst In professional sports, the Stars nnd Stripes, the official organ of the A. K. I, published In Paris, has discontinued Its sport page. Xo baseball scores of games here or In Prance will be published In the future, and all other branches of athletics will bo Ignored The only chance the bojs will have to find out what Is happening Is to wait for the home papers. It seems to me that the editors "oier there" arc a trifle severe In ban ishing a popular department of the newspaper. l"cn If professional baseball Is dead, there Is no reason for the curtailment of other athletic activities Hocer, the Stars and Stripes has some pood arguments The action of the ball plajers In Jumping to shipjnrds is deplored, and It Is feared the men are not taking the big war seriously. Another argument for discontinuing the sports page, nnd It sounds logical for Prance Is that It is Impossible to print all of the baseball scores of the hundreds' of games now being plncd behind the lines in that countrj. Editorial From the Stars and Stripes TTUlin is the editorial in full, taken from the Issue of Jul -fi. of the - Stars and Stripes, which I received last night: "This is the last sporting page the Stars and Stilpes will print until an Allied vlctoi) bilngs hack peace. "The reasons for the decision to discontinue an ancient institution nre almost ns numericnllv great us Allied shells crashing into Ociman lines. "They are at least sulllcientlj thick to pulverize or blot out any objec tions that. might be offeied b those who hao ct failed to see the light. "This p.iper realizes the great aid sport has given in the past In developing phvslcal stamina and enduring morale among thousands of those now making up the nation's nrmv. "It recognizee the tabic of sitci frciiiifn; fur the future. It uas vport that flrt taught our men to piny the game, to plav it out, to play it hard. It ion sport that hi ought out the laluc of team play , of long, hard training and the knack of thinking quickly at a lital point of the contest. "Hut sport as n spectacle, sport as an entertainment for the sldcllners, has passed on and out. Its glamour In a competitive way has faded Its lead ing stars are either in the Iron harness of war or forgotten until Germany is beaten. Responsible for Thousands of Well-Trained Men in Army tWTUIR Stars and Stripes appreciates in full sport's abiding value and the - countless thousands of well trained men it has sent Into the line. But these men have given up the glory of the sporting p.igc boost and the old action snapshot. They are not to be mentioned today because their Job has taken on another hue ' There aro tennis and golf champions, football plajM galore, track stars without numbei, boers and ball plovers who have traded the easy glory they knew at homo for the haid, unglorlfled grind of the SOS or the bloodj heritage of the western front. And their fame here belongs with the mass, not with Individual mention. "Neither Is there space, entertainment or policy In attempting to lujndlc the scores of hundreds of ball games plaved all over Fiance. A foitj-page paper would not make a beginning. And those left out would remember the offense longer than those Included would lemember the space allotted them "What, then, is, left. In the main, for a sporting page printed in Prance within hearing of the guns? Such headlines as these 'Star Plajers Dive for Shipyards or Farm to Escape Work-or-Pight Order' 'Cobb Is Thinking of Enlisting This Kail' 'Fulton and Dempsey Haggle Over Purse' 'Wlllard Refuses to right' and so on through a countless list that doesn't make any too heroic an appe.il to those grinding away upon the Job back of the lines or to those living and d.vlng in the mud and dli t of the fiont 3000 miles away from home The Only "Big League" Is in France SMTvHn Stars and Stripes is printed for the A. 13. P., not to help peipetuatc -- the renown of able-bodied stars, who, with unusual qualifications for war or useful work, elected to hear onl.v the "Business as-Usual' slogan above their countiy's call for help in the greatest war she has ever known 'There Is einlj one big league today for this paper to roet and that league winds its wav among the SOS stations scattered throughout Prance and ends at the western front Any work tli.it is part of the big lob, either In the lnes or bock of It, from Chateau-Thierry to San Francisco, is of utmost value. Hut 'entei tulnlni; I he pi ile luck homo' isn't put of the big Job, nor do we Jielleie the hulk of them want to be entertained In such a way. "When it finally tame to n point wheie any number of able bodied men were rushing Into v.uious occupations at the point of the boot, when the Secretary of War was foiccd to produce a ruling tint would mnkcliim dreds of thee men 'work or fight,' as the sqtinbblo and scurry grew day after day, this papei felt that it, no longei had space left for such activi ties not with so many events of far gi eater InteresJ taking place within sight and hearing of its working staff.

Amateur Notes J )ACK homo the sight of a high fly drifting Into- the late sun may still have Its thrill foi a few. But over here the all-absorbing factors are shrapnel, high eploslves, machine-gun bullets, trench digging, stable cleaning, nursing, training back of the lines and other endless details throughout France from the base ports to beyone Marne. tfQXl'ORT among the tioops mint go oh oi that is a part of the job. kj Sport among the youngsters hack home must go for that, too, is pair of the training Job. But the gloiiftcd, the commeri lallzcd, the spec tatorial sport of the past has been buint uut by gun fire. The sole slogan left is 'Heat Oermdny.' And anything that pertains to that slogan counts The rest doesn't. And that is uhy this is the last sporting page the Stars and Stiipcs Kill print until an Allied victory brings back peace." Other Sports Will Continue in This Country THIS action of the Stars and Stripes hits at professional commercialized sport which Is indulged In by professional athletes as a means of llvcli 'hood. It does not reflect upon business men who take up golf and tennis as a means of recreation, nor does It attack the college student who takes his dally exercise after a day in the classroom. Young men engaged In useful war work still may play on semlpro teams and not Incur tho displeasure of the public. Sports are necessary, and no matter how long the war lasts or how serious It becomes, the citizens of the United States will have some time for play. It would' be a bad thing for the nation If we suddenly eliminated all of the pleasures and pastimes Sports will continue In this country and the public will be entertained. There. musUbe some diversion, and pollege football and baseball, semlpro and amateur bail, rowing, swimming, bowling, golf, tennis, soccer, horse lacing, cricket, track and field athletics, billiards and pool, lacrosse, motorcycling, boxing and polo will go on. Professional baseball still will be popular until the season ends next month, but after that no one can tell what -ylll happen. If the war continues next year It's safe to predict there will be no big league btseball. rpUTi magnates hate been criticized seiteicly for their attitude in finishing Ji the season, although it uas cut short a month. This is decidedly unfair, ' Owners of big league clubs have some $10,000,009 invested in ball paiks and . franchises and ate trying to keep doivn their losses. They are not un patriotic, but doing the .best they can under handicap. If the Government is against big league baseball, ichy uercn't the clttbs notified at 'the beginning of the season to close the parkst As it is, the ' men paying the bills uill lose dote to $1,000,000 this season just to provide amusement for the American public, ACCORDING to a dispatch from Chicago Mllton'stock and Cactus. Crav . atli, of the Phillies, have been approached wtlh a view to taking em ployment at Hog Island as soon as the season ends Labor Day. They are mum on the BUliject, but Hoy S. Acord, chief special agent for the United States Department of Labor employment service, who Is In Chicago, said he had' heard this was so, but declined to yerlfy It absolutely.
