September 11, 1918.

1918 was when the Federal Government had enacted a "Work or Fight" edict during World War I. The government ruled that all men that were not working in an industry that 'helped' the war effort had to enlist in the military or get a job in an industry that was helping the war effort.

The Feds ruled, in 1918, that Baseball was not an essential industry in the war effort. After the courts upheld the government's ruling, baseball and the Feds came to an agreement to end the regular season on Labor Day and play the World Series immediately afterwards.
