In the only other American

(Pinch hitting for
Fred E. Hampton)
That small, scurrying sound
in the darkness is the die-hard
remnant o( the once potent
day-hours-for-day-sports associa
tion, hastening to the ticket
windows.
The low moaning in the back
ground comes from assorted
business managers, for whom
General DeWitt's dimout order
was a lethal potion.
Night sports has been the an
swer to financial anemia, par
ticularly in high school, small
college and semi-pro circles.
Now that the death knell has
sounded, the , money handlers
are seeing : spots before their
eyes spots of red ledger ink
that -splatter - ominously into
distance. '
But purely ': on the esthetic
side, there is some Joy.
Football at night has not
been football at its best. The
lights have given but don't
ask us to prove it an illusion
of speed. Fans who have been
conversant with the sport since
the days o Pudge Heflefinger,
have kept their affection warm
in these ; latter days only by
toasting it at the solar fires of
the remaining day-time games.
' Baseball at night has lacked
the atmosphere that comes (rom
crunching peanuts picked from
the pocket of an arm-carried
coat; from watching a pitcher
swelter in muscle-loosening
heat; from the post-game . . .
ah, lemonade . , . sipped in con
genial baseball seminars at the
corner discussion club.
', So those who have nostalgic
memories of things as they,
used to be. are lining up at the
ticket windows.
: But the reason for night
games still exists most people
work in the daytime and the
happiness of a few can't over
come the' disappointment of the
many who now will take a
smaller helping of sports for
the duration.
, In industrial centers such as
Portland, the boys on the grave
yard shift may swell the at
tendance at day games, but
elsewhere the gloom is as deep
as the night.

M. L. Tyler, round-up asso

the action of the directors last

mean the end of the Lewiston

Lack of local skilled helpers,
a possible- shortage of hands

weight championship of. .the
world tonight when he meets
the titleholder, veteran Lou Sal--ica
of New York, in a 12-round
match before a star-studded
throng of Hollywoodites In tho
Legion stadium.
The two are closely matched.
Ortiz has youth and more speed,
but Salica, a tough customer
when his title is at stake, packs
more experience. The champion,
at 29, is proud of the crown and
will - receive $6000 for defend
ing it. -. -
Ortiz, 25, will get a mero
S250, which hardly covers train
ing expenses, but his reward
will be the title if he ' can
take it. He also has the satisfac
tion of helping raise approxi
mately $10,000 for athletie
equipment for army camps' 'in
this section.
Ticket prices for the first title
fight in the stadium's history
range from $1.10 to 58.50 and
all of Hollywood's glamor bri
gade will be at the ringside.
