Nothing But Government Order Will Stop Double A Baseball
President Frank Shaughnessy of the International League said only a direct government order could stop his clubs from playing in 1944. He noted teams have signed players including 4-F and pre Pearl Harbor fathers and that the majors will absorb veterans, while Double A leagues can use players not yet ready for the big leagues. He warned of losses without operation and outlined spring training plans and tentative schedules across eight International League teams with various city matchups.

Baseball Lacks Science Says Baseball Lacks Science
Washington veteran Walter Johnson argues baseball has grown sluggers aware of the lively ball and pitcher relief. He recalls 1908 Yankee shutouts, contrasts strategy with today’s focus on hitting, and notes his own extended scoreless innings record amid a career mostly with Washington.
