Crowder draft ruling threatens major league baseball

Washington reports indicate Provost Marshal General Crowder may classify players aged 21 to 31 as in a nonuseful occupation under wartime work rules risking permanent loss of many professional players. Officials doubt the plan will pass, but if enacted it could force teams to replace large rosters, shrinking the quality of major and minor league baseball and transforming the game into a less vigorous spectacle. In Houston nine of fifteen players would be forced to wear uniforms, while other cities like Dallas Fort Worth and Waco would see key personnel affected, with only a few exempt players remaining.
