Secretary Faker explained that the status of baseball players had been ! discussed before the regulation was approved, and it was agreed that the question could not be disposed of' until all the facts relating to the ef fect upon the baseball business had been brought out through the hear ing of a case appealed from a local. board. The secretary did not profess to know how seriously application of the rule to professional ball players would affect the leagues. He did not know that a large majorit/ of the major league players were of draft age and were exempted only be cause of dependants ,bu*, on the con trary. was under he impression that most of them were outside the draft limits. The paragraph of the new regula tion which may touch the ball players is a subdivision of the enumeration of classes affected, and says: "Persons, including ushers and other attendants, engaged in and oc cupied in. and in connection with games, sports and amusements, ex cepting actual performers in legiti mate concerts, operas or theatrical performances." The loud wail that professional baseball would be entirely eliminated by this measure died down notice ably to-day when the statement wasi • For Real Economy IT # Q # f Union OUlt Divide the first cost of PEERLESS and TT * O # J.

Haughton. • owner and president of the Roston' , Braves, that he had seen Fresi i .lent Wilson lately who assured him 1 that the war would not interfere with baseball. He quotes the Presi dent as saying he was in favor of continuing the sport. However, if closing up the parks is essential to : winning the war there will be no j hesitancy on the part of the ball club owners. They will shut up shop | instanter. Speaking of the situation 'John K.

"If bafeball is nonessential, and' players of draft age have to give' up playing, the clubs will try to rind players that are not of draft ago. and if this cannot be done there is a possibility that our ball parks will have ;,> be closed and the sea „V e brought to an end. Since tbe draft or conscription I act has been effective we have been operating with the understanding j that baseball was being encouraged by the government, and plavers' , have been responding as thev have been called under the provisions of the draft in great numbers, and many of them have volunteered Baseball also has been doing its j share of, war work in everv wav | and baseball is only too glad to comply witfc the new regulations, having perfe.t confidence that it will not be discriminated against bv head 8 " Vernment ° r any Pick Officers and Managers For Athletics at Tech The following were nominated for president and vice-president of the Athlet .'° Association at an i c o m mt"ee meeting last \r n ? oyer * John Beck, An-| drew Musser. btuart Taylor.

HXRBISBURGitiBte TELEGRAPH STAR WRESTLERS AT GETTYSBURG Army Champion to Meet All Comers and Treat 'Em Rough : - Jit;:' 111 V-' f!C lip' > Ik • s - - f SERGEANT F. S. LEAVITT Champion Heavyweight Wrestler of the U. S. Army Camp Colt, May 24. —One of the main feautres of the AthleUc carni val to be held oi) Memorial Day by the newly recruited Tank corps at Gettysburg will be a wrestling bout between Sergeant F. S. Leavitt and an opponent yet to be selected. Dr. B. F. Roller, Charley Cutler,. Ameri cus and other nationally known grap plers are under consideration, and it is a certainty that one of them will be landed for the bout. A definite announcement will be made shortly. Sergeant Leavitt. a previous ser vice man with the "Regulars," Is the recognized heavyweight wrest ling champion of the U. S. Army. As a civilian since the expiration of ; his last enlistment he engaged in a number of professional matches, i meeting in private and public prac i tieally all the well known mat men lof the country. He re-entered the army recently by enlistment in the Tank corps and is generously vol unteering his services for the camp benefit. A magnificent specimen of Ameri can manhood. Leavitt stands well over six feet and weighs around 220 pounds in wrestling condition. In deed. he has the ideal physique for the mat game. It is a certainty that* had he devoted his entire time to wrestling, he would be one of fore most contenders for the disputed crown of the late Frank Gotch. At that he holds decisions over such men as Zbyszko, Strangler Lewis and others. Leavitt doesn't fear any man that lives, and while he mod estly does not claim that he can throw any man in the game, he is a tremendously active, aggressive fel low who will strain every fiber to give wrestling fans of this section a ; real "Treat 'Em Rough" affair on I Memorial Day.
