All they need is to fill in the gap from about 1 ajn. until dawn. We have the regular afternoon games, and several clubs are going to take a flier at twilight ball. Wight baseball, life-saver of the minors, is gaining more and more headway In the majors. And now the Albany, NY, - elub plans 8 an day morning games to accommodate the de fense workers. If not the ball players. Ball players as a rule don't get ap in the morning un til last call for breakfast, usu ally around II aja and the sacrifice of this beauty sleep Is bound to cause untold suffering. Morning baseball has been played, but not as a habit Min neapolis and St. Paul split holi day bills with a morning game In one city and a pjn. game in the other, and some major clubs play morning contests on special occasions. But as something more or less routine, that is, once a week, the Idea is new, and, in view of the purpose, laudable. Just how it pans out will be interesting to watch. Morning games, from the standpoint of playing eeadl - tlomv are In a better spot than twilight or night games, both of which may m Into diffi culties this year. A twilight game, unless ample time is allowed for slow play or overtime, will run into dusk, and even if field is equipped with lights it wont help a bit There Is a period of a half hour or so between the close of day and the fall of night when all the lights In the world wouldn't make fav orable playing condition. Lights, during that shadowy period. simply add a confusing hate. u the teams wanted to con tinue an unfinished game they'd Just have to retire to. their dug' outs and swap yarns, with the V spectators stamping and whistling impatiently until the blue of the night replaced the gold of the day. Tho bet men-two-wilds pe riod also is the stumbling Meek for late twilight games, arrang ed to finish under, the lights. Thai necessary intermission daring Which the players get cold while tho customers bura .. Juat doesn't fit Into the picture. The night game difficulty arises from . the setting ahead - of the clocks to war time. Under normal conditions mid-summer twilight lasts unta dose to nine o'clock. With the extra half hour of day light, games will be delayed in starting until time when a lot f folks - will be yawning ' and thinking about how early T am. comes around. - We've seen extra-inning games last until 1 or 2 ajn. under ordl nary conditions. With the atari- ing tin set back an hour ordinary game would do well finish before midxSsht. And, if. E. H. Thompson Elected Prexy For Softball Elton H.
