t Snorts Briefs fev ' NEW YORK, May 22 UP) It : has been said that there s noth ing like a good depression to helD baseball, so maybe the prosperity of these times is re flected in the experiments this , season with starting times for ball games . . . The "depression' theory is that when men are out of work they have plenty of time to visit the ball park but when they're working hard they can't get away afternoons ... So far this season major league clubs have played afternoon, night, twilight and morning games the last two presumably for the benefit of war workers . . . Now, with double headers piling up, the Dodgers and Reds have scheduled a daylight-and-dusk doubleheader for June 30 and the , Phillies and Braves are booked for morning and afternoon bill June 15 . . . How about a contin uous performance next? . - HON-ATTENDANCE RECORD A lot of ball clubs have been polling the fans about starting times, but the most novel poll was conducted in Oakland, Calif., recently (result hasn't reached here yet) . . . The idea was to start a doubleheader at 1 p.-,m. and count how many peo ple left after the first game . . . If many departed, that was sup posed to prove that swing shift ers, who had to get to work about 4, liked the idea of having a game early enough for them to see..' , i 'e TODAY'S GUEST STAR Ben Epstein, Little Rock, (Ark.)

The Athletics haven't a .300 hitter on the club Bobby Esta lella and Jo-Jo White dropped below that mark last night but they've come up with a couple of prize-package pitchers who mean a. lot to a club in these days of low-hit games. . There's Jesse Flores, the fri jole flipper from Guadalajara, Mexico, who's won five games and lost only one so far. And last night Orrie Arntzen, a new comer from Williamsport of the eastern league added his name to the list by outlasting the vet eran Johnny Niggerling of the St Louis Browns in a floodlight pitching duel; Still another may be Donald Black, up from Pet ersburg, Va., who has turned in a couple of good efforts although he hasn't won a game. The Athletics' 2-1 triumph over the Browns was a highlight of a three-game major league program which produced a total of only 36 hits and seven runs. The A's made just two hits off Niggeling and Arntzen was in hot water frequently because of wildness he gave eight walks. But there was no scoring until the Browns' Mike Chartak belt ed his third homer of the season in the eighth inning and the A's came back to push over two runs in the ninth, scoring the winning tally when Catcher Rick Ferrell muffed a third strike.
