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

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

dicaped by missing the first month's
or six weeks' drill.

Fight to Win Next Battle
Frankie Maguire, the local welter
weight, will have his work cut out
for him on next Monday night when
he faces Henry llauber, the rugged
hard-hitting Philadelphia boxer whom
lie is matched with at the National

In the Family theatre. Hauber was
present on last Monday night at

guire boxed Buck Fleming, and Hau
lier says that Magulre's style of light
ing suits him exactly. They are both
fast and game fighters and the man
who wins will know that he has been
in sonio muss.
Hauber has met some of the best
men of his weight in the country* and
he has never failed to give a good
I account of himself. Recently, in the
I Quaker City, lie defeated W. O. Willie
l,oughlin, who recently won a six
| round victory over George Chip, for
mer middleweight champion of Amer
ica. llauber's particular stunt Is ag
gressive lighting. He is a good boxer
| but he believes that the man with the
i hardest wallop will bring home the
| bacon.

of the best ever ottered Harrisburg
sporting men, and one that no fight
fan can afford to miss.
