McMahon, a two-year-old son of Celt, had won the fifth race at Bel- mont Park yesterday afternoon A. F. Macomber sent W. B. Jennings, his trainer, to the auction block to bid up the colt. Mr. Jennings bid $2,000 and |led the colt back to the Macomber barn. Mr. Macomber's object in entering | the selling ring was not to obtain the colt. He has more than a score of Youngsters that are heaps better than this winner. He was carrying out the ! threat he made last vear that he would do all in his power to help the sport by compelling owners to enter horses in their proper classes, H. Waterson, who owns Thomas F. ! McMahon, entered the colt to be sold | for §800 and when he beat fifteen other good voungsters in thrilling fashion Mr. Macomber decided he had heen entered too cheaply and ordered | Ar.

Washington, June 12.—Profession: baseball players very likely will be ex] empted for the duration of the presen playing season from the “work o fight” order of the provost marsha general recently issued. Baseball club owners have bee promised definite answer on the maft ter within ten days, during which #%im, the whole question will be put befor Secretary Baker probably with favo able recommendations from the pro vost marshal general. Representation has been made the provost marshal general’s office by the baseball heads that the “work o fight"” order would cause a tremendou monetary loss to owners of clubs whd have entered into season contracts o various sorts and who are obligated to carry out these contracts. Gen. Crowder said yesterday that hd would issue, probably within a wee! a statement giving a complete explan ation of the “work or fight” ordeg which could be used by local boards in determining the application of th order to thousands of cases whic under the present indefinite ' rule present perplexing questions to th local boards. “The complaints and inquiries tha we have received have been thoroughl ly and completely gone into,” he said, “and they will form the basis for thd statement which I intend to make. Th statement must be issued befors July 1, on which date the work o fight order becomes effective.” .
