DISAGREE WITH JOHNSON | Comishey and Griffith Against Early Closing For World's Series. { Charles A. Comiskey, President of! the Chicago Americans, has issued al statement opposing the suggestion of | President Ban Johnson of the league] to close the season about August 20th | and then play the World's Series, "lI think we should continue to play until September 1st, the date set by Secretary of War Baker, for the suspension of baseball," Presi- dent Comiskey said: 'We are draw- ing the larg cwds in the east in several , and we should give that = 2» country its share of the schedule as originally mapped out." Clark Griffith, manager and part owner of the Washington club, also is opposed to curtailing the season. beat WILL FINISH SEASON. a-- a New International League Has Won Lasting Prestige. Every important minor circuit has thrown up the sponge as a result of Secretary of 'War Baker's "work or fight" order, except the International League, President John H. Farrell of the International, declared that all of his clubs would remain on deck until Labor Day, when the major league campaigns probably will come to an abrupt end, When the Interna- tional was re-organized in April base- ball men, who were not financially in- terested, predicted early disaster. But guided by Joseph J. Lannin, former owner of the Boston Red Sox, the new circuit overcame numerous ob- stacles and made a successful battle for recognition. The International, theréfore, has won lasting prestige and when baseball is revived the pro- moters will be in a position to de- mand and receive many big favors, Already the major leagues realize what the International has accom- plished and are preparing to lend a helping hand, .

These young men are in a quandary just what to do, as the majority have de- pendents and a small salary in a fac- tory, they claim, is not sufficient to support themsel Poy ami families. "I am willing to do most anything," said Notter, "to help the good cause, but I am all at. sea just what kind of a job I .can get."

Lajoie Demanded $3,000 Month Larry Lajoie, the famous veteran | slugger, who managed the Indiana- polis team of the now dormant Am- erican Association, evidently has no great desire to grab off a major lea- gue berth for the remainder of the season, or perhaps for the duration of the war. It became known to-day that the big Frenchman, offered aj chance to 'play first base for the! Giants, caused John McGraw to aban-| don negotiations for his services by | setting a prohibitive price on them. Lajole, it is reported, asked $3,000 from the Giants for the remainder of the present campaign, and in view of the fact that September 1st will prob- ably will mark the end of the pen- nant race, McGraw was amazed at the great slugger's terms, and re- fused to consider them, > Lajole, 'it will be remembered, spurned an offer of $4,500 from the Brooklyn club this spring, though he received less than that amount for piloting the oronto club of the New League to a pennant last season, However, his refusal of the Brooklyn club's offer was due to the fact that| the Indianapolis club wished to sign | him a= manager for a salary said to have been $7,600. He, of course, lost out when the club owners of the Am- erican Association abandoned the sport when the "Work or Fight" cloud first lowered over the pastime, » Carpentier Not Coming. George Carpentier is not coming to this side of the water. to take part in boxing matches. Promoters In the east who have been attewmpt- ing to get the famous French boxer, who 'has been 'inyalided from the | aviation service, to come to this country, and promoters in France and England who want him there, will be disappointed te hear that the French Government has decided that Carpentier will do no further boxing until the end of the war. ! This means, also, that the French- man will meet no more American soldler-boxers in exhibition bouts. Before the war Carpentier, thea a boy of less than 20, was the idol of the Freneh people: i sidered the coming heavyweight | champion," and showed his soliity by knocking out every boxer of any ability in Europe, including DBom- bardier Wells, whom ha put away twice. The American boxers were net ag easy for Carpentier as the others, and with many he had trcuble, even losing the deci:ion to some. However, had not war been declared, Carpentier and not Wil- lard might to-day have been heavy- weight champion of the world. 5 One, Sport Order For Army.
