This was decided yesterday by Secretary Daniels, who issued a general order prohibiting furloughs to all athletes. The request that Barry be placed on the inactive list was made to the by Representative Galli- van, of Boston. on behalf of the owners of the club. Gallivan told Secretary Daniels that a majority of the members of the Red Sox club en- ed in the navy at the close of r»the 1917 season and were now on duty veomen at Atlantic seaboard points. He urged the furloughing of Barry on the grounds that his serv- ices manager of the Boston ball club was essential to the manage- ment to whip into shape the frag- ments of the 1917 team and the new men signed to take the places of those who had answered the cad of the navy Secretary Daniels van that he recently refused to fur- lcugh a North Carclina boy in the upon the urgent request of his who needed him in an impor- tant business venture, and that to the Boston athlete to return to civil life for the summer would be establishing a precedent that might be difficult to follow in the future. “If Barry and his fellow players of the Red Sox team are not over- seas by the baseball season,” officers in the Navigation bureau said, “they 1 enjoy the summer pastime by izing clubs in the navy. Unless the athletes who have joined the navy are actually at sea, it is the in. tention of the department to provide them with opportunity to keep in shape by playing ball, but the unis form they will wear will be of the United States navy and not that of private ball clubs.

LYKE REPEATS Little Jockey After Scoring Thrico o Monday Comes Back With Twao Wins Yesterday. New Orleans, Feb. 6—Jockey Lyke, who rode the thoroughbreds belong- ing to James Butler on the metro- politan tracks last year, has develaped ¢ into one of the leading jockeys here. Monday he rode three winners at the Fair Grounds track and yesterday he came back and guided two more home in front. He had the leg up on Busy Joe, which ran off with the first race, and rode Obolus, the winner of the fowurth event. In each instance his horse- ' manship played an important part in the result. On the New York tracks Lyke was considered a second rate jockey. He ) had a peculiar seat and often was out-generalled and beaten by other jockeys who were riding inferior horses. On several occasions his poor horsemanship earned the wrath of Jack McCormack, who trained f' Butler horses last season. As was the case Monday his win- ning mounts were on favorites yes- terday. Busy Joe was at 2 to 1 and Obolus at 8 to 5. Kultur finished second in the first race and Harry Mason was third. Brother Jonathan finished behind Obolus and Bubbub took the third end of the purse.
