PACIFIC COAST
:. LEAGUE WILL NOT 3, ],
BE AFRAID OF OZARK

San Francisco. Cal. April 2.---It has
been only on rare occasions in past
years that games in the Pacific coast
league have been called on account of
darkness. With daylight saving in
force it is generally believed that not
a single game hereafter will be ter
minated for this cause.
There has been some talk in some
of the other leagues in the country
of starting the games later this year
than in former seasons. 1t, is argued
that the extra hour will allow of this,
the principal reason for the suggest
ed change heing that it is expected
to allow OF more people attending the
games. - e
Thus far there has been nothing
said in the Pacific Coast league in
the matter of beginning the games
half hour or more later than usual
but there are many who believe that
if the plan proves a success financial
ly to any Of the leagues which may
adopt the measure. the local leagues
officials will lose no time in adopting
the innovation.
It is probable that in no league in
the country are there fewer post
poned games than in the Pacific
Coast league. The principal reason
for this is because OF the fact that be-
tween the mOnLnS Oh May ana NO.
vember known as the dry season in
California, there never is any rain.
1t is only during the first few weeks
of the coast season that rain may
come and put an end to contest
1t is fact. however. that on one
or two occasions it has been found
necessary to call time temporarily on
account Of heavy fog. On these rare
occasions it was almost impossible to
distinguish the outfielders from the
stands and quite out of the question
for these players to see the ball in
the event that long fly was knocked
in their direction. {
While no game has ever been called
because of the wind, it was largely be-
cause of the wind and cold that the
expensive ball park here known as
Ewing Field was abandoned after
only a season or two Of play on it.
Many a legitimate hit which would
have been good for two or three bases
went for naught because the wind
! carried the ball across the foul line
!, Hir' flies we're the despair of the
fielders on this account and the diff
Guilty in Judging them constituted a
! considerable menace.

Macdonald and Andretchtne, two Of

Pershing Wants to Build

New Plan Will Put Ameri-

Washington. April 2.-The an
nouncement from London that Amer
ican army units are to be brigaded
with British and French organiza-
tions was interpreted by army officers
here today as indicating that the
thrust aside all questions Of national
pride in placing American man pow
er at the immediate disposal Of the
allies. .45 IA
The plan was decided on at con-
ferences between Secretary Baker
and Generals Bliss and Pershing. and
British and French officials.
Details of the method to be follow
ed presumably will be arranged by
General Pershing. There was every
indication, however, that American
rushed across regardless of their pro-
ficiency. 4
The British statement carefully
notes that the rational aspect Of Cen
eral Pershings army is not to be im-
paired. The building up Of that
purely American war machine will
proceed as rapidly g possible To-
,er. American units wifi be fed to the,
front through the French and Brit

"Arrangements for the transporta-

British statement said, "are now be-

Pershing wishes to withdraw them to
