WASHINGTON, DC. July 20, 1918 - Organized baseball suffered a severe blow which will deprive it of the services of all it's "stars" when Secretary Baker ruled today that baseball was a non-essential occupation under the recently declared "work or fight rule."
The ruling was made in the case of Eddie Ainsmith, catcher for the American League's Washington club. Baker's ruling effects all draft-age baseball players from every league.
Commissioner Eagan announced that a press conference will be held in the next few days to discuss the future of the league.
