One draft board holds at the player is engaged in a non- useful occupation, a second plays a neutrality role while a third is open in its recognition of the right of the player to equal consideration with the actor. The threat of this state has created more havoc in the ranks than any aetual orders to players to get out of the game, { course base- ball will continue, no matter how many players are. forced to leave their work, but the fan is rather riled that his favorite sport should not be accorded thle same treatment as is given to the theatre in the ruling is sued by Gen. Crowder. At least at this season America leans toward the ball field as much as toward the vaudeville theatre for its entertain- ment, and the actor is not one whit better than the ball player. The fact remains that a compari- son between the major leagues and the big line in theatricals does not shed any the less lustre on baseball. No theatre has opened its doors wide ee In The World Of Sport || es a Sporting Notes | British sportsmen declare that the | Hun will be banished from the Olym- | pic games after the war.

This action on 'the part of a club fostering amateur ath- leties is most regrettable. It savors too. much of an attempt to exploit sport for gain. But it is not the first incident showing the growing ten- dency among some men's organiza- tions to commercialize competitive swimming, and women prominent in aquatics are already taking steps to guard their own branch of the game against it, | Can You Select Winner?

Henry O'Day, whose name is fa- miliar wherever baseball is played, thas been connected with the great American pastime as pitcher, um- pire and manager for more than thir- ty years, It was thirty years ago that Hank broke into the big league as a twirler for Washington, He had previously pitched for some clibs in Toledo and Savanah, and he had | been playing ball in Chicago, his na-| tive city, even before that. In fact, Hank's diamond experience com? menced before the National League was launched in 1876. O'Day, as has been said, made his debut in the big leagues with the Washingtons, then owned by the Hewetts, but in 1889 he joined John B. Day's New ' York aggregation of ball tossers. - Hank's most celebrat- ed performance was pulled off that yea: The Giants won the National League championship that year and played a post-season geries with the hated Brooklyns. Hank pitched the first game and won it. New York lost the second contest, and Hank went back in the third and fourth games and copped both of them. The New York club of that year was managed by Jim Mutrie, The pitch- ing staff, in addition to Hank, includ- ed Tommy Keefe, Welch and Crane. Hank didn't long remain in the limelight as ga pitcher, and after spending a year or two in Nebraska, and Iowa, he returned to the Na: tional pastime as an umpire. For about a score of years he was 'one | of the most distinguished of the diamond arbitrators. He gave up the job of umpiring to assume the man- agentent of the Cincinnati Reds--a case of jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. In 1914 Hank tried his hand at piloting the Cubs, and under his management the club made a surprising race, only to slump in the home stretch. Markle a Prisoner in Germany "Clitf Markle, former New York Yankee pitcher, who volunteered for service with Unele Sam last sum- mer, is now interned as a German prisoner it Limbourg, according to official advices to Texas relatives. Markle was a star in the Texas League when the Yankees bought him along with Catcher Walters.

In his long experience as an um- pire Hank has lad many narrow escapes from pop bottles and from other forms of sudden death. It was Hank who called Merkle out when he failed to touch second base in the famous decisive game Letween the FGi3his and the Cubs in 1908.
