May 3. lf I Ban Johnson doesn't win in his ef- ( fort to have the War Department exempt his American league play-' ers from army services until after I October and the close of the world's i series, it won't be because of his lack j of foresight. I The American League dictator J , with President John K. Tener and Garry Herrmann, of the National ; Commission, will be in town within i a day or two to talk over with the I War Department the matter of ex- I empting ball players. The average fan will probably say, why exempt ball players from the I draft until October when everybody j else has to register and enlist? And | the answer is plain. Already Training Ban B. early in February requisi tioned the War Department for the ' services of drill sergeants from the j regular army to instruct the ball tossers in the manual of arms, mili tary formations, setting tip exercises and other forms of military tactics that go to make up the trained sol dier. The sergeants were at the training Doings in Big Leagues National League ; Another world's record, the first of the season was hoisted yesterday | when Chicago and Cincinnati battled | nine innings without a hit or run. | Cincinnati found Vaughn for one | wallop and a run in ttie tentn. win ' ning the game 1 to 0. Tone.v pitched | a no-hit. game for the victors. Pittsburgh was held to two hits yesterday by Ames and St. Louis won 4 to 0. Brooklyn and New York battled to a 2 to 2 tie in fourteen innings yesterday, the game being featured I camps with expenses paid by the i ball clubs and whether they liked it |or not the diamond artists had to perform this patriotic service. The j result was that army formations and I drill were a feature of all the open ing games on the American League circuit. The National League,- through its i president, later sought the same as ; sistance from army officers. Ahead of Rookies The result of all this is that the | ball players are at least two or three months ahead of the ordinary I "rookie" who will enlist in the I.army. • | With the War Department an i nouncing that the registration of [ men of conscriptionable age will not be completed until the middle of Au -1 gust and the prospective soldiers as- I signed to camp for training before September 1. it will readily be seen that the ball players can finish their schedule and those eligible for army duty can still be assigned for ser vice to the colors without being han dicaped by missing the first month's or six weeks' drill. I with sensational fielding and superb j pitching. Timely hitting and fielding of 1 Stock and Smith yesterday aided | Oeschger to pitch Philadelphia to a 2 to 1 victory over Boston. American League The Yankees pounded Walter Johnson for nine safe drives yester day and blanked Washington 2 to 0. Chicago hit Coumbe, Smith and Could bard yesterday and took the ' I opening game of the series from ' Cleveland, 8 to 3. Timely hitting behind Dauss' I | superb pitching yesterday enabled i | Detroit to score a 2 to 0 victory over I St. Louis. Binghamton Bunches Hits Defeating Reading in Opening Conflict Binghamton. N.
