Ban Johnson After Shipyard Mieguaits
Chicago May 16 Major league baseball players who joined shipyards or wartime industries faced possible Navy or draft scrutiny. President Ban Johnson said he questioned government officials about exemptions and potential reclassification, noting some players acted patriotically while others risked being reassigned if in class A-1. Joe Jackson, Chicago, moved from Greensville to a Wilmington plant after exemption class changes. Two Minnesota football legends, Bad Till Ittner and George Tauser, were in a Northrupfield meeting with Ittner planning enlistment to join France, spurred by J L Rosenwald's death in action. Ittner had managed a fruit ranch near Missoula before enlisting.
