BASEBALL AT NIGHT.

If some of the major league club owners decide to make an experiment. baseball may be played at night, W. s. Ward. one of the owners of Wash irgton park. Brooklyn, is interested in lighting plant which he ts anx- ious to exploit. During the Buffalo Bill show Tt tho park last week. with one-third of the power turned on. a sharp-shooter gave an exhibition of glass ball breaking which. in MT. Wards opinion, proved that baseball could be played after snndown. While the Federal lsASue was in existence, the Wards paid large sum for the exclusive lighting prtvileges. but the experiment dtdn't produce the desired results. The system has been inn proved aince then and m effort will De made to have major league men take 1t up. It might be worth try ing. e-

BRETON BEATS DoWD
Welterweasht Champion Gives St.
 Faaa Battler Lesson in Boxing-

Victor Never in Danger.
 Brooklyn. May s.-In . fiercely con- testsd battle at the Broadway s. C.. last night Jack Britton, Welterweight champion. showed Mike o'Dowd of St. Paul just how the former chicai goan came to win the title. o'Dowd fought like . bulldog. but Britton. dis playing consummate cleverness and ring generalship, got inside Mikes fierce rushes and drove home dam aging punches with both hands.
 It was . bout in which many of those sitting away from the ringsido did not get true angle on what was happening. O'Dowd. boring in savage often seemed to be landing when in reality Britton was slipping the punches, blocking them or brushing them aside. It was uncanny how Jack figuratively writhed around Mikes leads and slid inside with snappy lefts and rights. Not sincA Britton won tho title has he given such masterly ex- hibition as he showed last evening.
 As early as the first round Britton showed that he was on business bent, for in that session he twice crossed with terrific rights to the jaw that were labelled knockouts. Each one of them staggered O'Dowd from head to heel, but Mike recuperated quickly, shook his touselled head and bored in for more.
 Brftton. by varying margins. had the better of all the rounds with the exception of the third and fourth, which went to O'Dowd by . shade on his yaggresstvsness. Mike steadily forced the fighting, but Jack met him coming in with stiff lefts and rights. O'Dowd seldom landed cleanly to jaw or wind. Most of his leads landed on glove, forearm or protecting shoul- der. Mike's round arm right invari- ably landed on Jacks back.
 Tho msn agreed to make 1sc pounds. o'Dowd. however, entered tho ring three pounds above the weight agreed upon. scaling 1S6 sounds to Br1tton's 147 1-3.

 Two Dixie gentlemen of education started the battle.

The Phillies start cd on "Andy" with . rush, and Pas kert's single. Hancroft's double and pass to Stock fllled the bases with none outl However. Anderson held the Quakers to one run. Then Rixey showed what he learned 1t college. Burns waA erased on a grounder and Rixey whifted the famous thumpers. KAuff and Robertson.
 But right here the tide of battle shifted. In the second inning tho lower two-thirds of McGraw's battling order proceeded to knock Eppa into. cooked hat. three runs being scored on four hits.

The run was costly. for it was by that margin that Lefty Tyler was able to win a pitchers duel from his old rival, Jeff Pfeffer. Boston won, to 1, by . rally on Pfefter. in the last inning after Brooklyn was turned hack in the f.rst half of the ninth with the bases full and ono out.
 Until the ninth Pfeffer allowed only three scattered safeties. Konetchy, first up In the ninth. launched the Braves off on an assault on Pfeffer with . ringing single to left, MaSee flied out to Stengel. but Gowdy. who had flied out to Johnson with two out and the bases full in the fourth in- ming. came through with terrific two base rap to left. sending Lv- netchy to third.
