Baker Gives Baseball Until September 1 to Find Work

WASHINGTON, DC. July 27, 1918 - After a request was made to allow baseball leagues to finish their current seasons, Baker denied the request but did allow the leagues to stay open until September 1. At that time, players would need to fight or work in an essential occupation.

Commissioner Eagan, upon hearing the ruling, announced that the regular season will end on August 14, in order to allow the Presidents Cup Series to be played to completion.
