Draft Note Hits Other Pro Sports
The war mobilization drive orders racing tracks closed and directs local draft boards to review pro athletes deferred or discharged for physical disability. Byrnes and Hershey push scrutiny of 18 to 26 year olds in pro sports amid broader wartime measures affecting horse and dog racing nationwide. Florida tracks face immediate shutdowns as major venues adjust to the new policy. Baseball officials say Byrnes’ ruling should not affect the season, while officials weigh the broader implications for athletic talent during wartime.
