Show BILL KILLEFER IS PLACED IN CLASS 1 S3 In ' f ..x-:': Western Newspnper UniunLj? Catcher William Killet'er of the Cubs has been placed in class 1 by the district draft board and is subject to immediate call. He registered originally origin-ally in Van Buren county, Michigan. The county board placed Killefer in class 4-A on the ground of having a dependent, as Killefer was married October 8 last. The government contested con-tested the case r.nd the district board unanimously overruled the former classification. "Van Buren county Is far behind In its quota," said Chairman William H. Potter. "The population is heavily agricultural, a class always favored in exemptions, so Killefer's number will be reached early. Any man who can peg to second as he can will be far more valuable in throwing hand grenades Into the German lines. He can make his hits count." |
