Brighton Board Rules Baseball Non productive Labor
Boston July 15 Brighton draft board classed baseball as non productive in a test case involving John Park Henry catcher for the Boston Nationals. The board found baseball’s relief from war strain overestimated and its financial contribution no larger than voluntary offerings of millions of citizens. Three members agreed the occupation is non productive, but one member urged not changing Henry’s status due to potential financial loss. The majority claimed baseball lacks necessity and recreation aids war effort. the Amherst draft board will decide Henry’s status after reviewing further details about his dependency and manufacturing ties.
