NIGHT GRID BATTLES BOON IN SOUTHWEST
 TO SMALL COLLEGES

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 1O.-Night football, an experiment three years ago, has done for smaller colleges ln the southwest what floodlights have done for the lesser leagues in professional baseball.
 With the novelty worn off, night games are more except on Saturdays-than daytime con- tests between small colleges in this section.
 Out of Al games scheduled for Friday or other days than Satur- day, 88 are to be decided after dark. On the other hand, only IA Of 168 Saturday games are sched- uled for nighttime, the reason be- ing that most customers have Sat- urday afternoons off.
 Also, like the big leagues of base ball, major college and university teams-members of the Big Six and Southwestern confere nces- which play mostly on Saturday, shun the floodlights.
 The Missouri Valley conference, with members in and near large cities, has several night games billed.

SANTA MONICA, Cal, Oct. 10.- Take it from Olin Dutra, Pacific Southwest P. G. A. champion, there is nothing wrong with the new golf ball.

 Twelve days later he came back with a sizzling GA. Brentwood is $500 yards long.
 Dutra says of the new ball:

STREET BLAMES UMPIRE NALL|N
 FOR LOST GAME
Card Manager Says Man Back of Plate Caused
 Derringer to Blow

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10. 0.-0abb, street, Manager of the Cardinals last night placed squarely upor the shoulders of Richard Nallin American League umpire who of flciated behind the plate, the blame Tor the defeat suffered by the St Louis team in Fridays game, the sixth of the Worlds Series. It was a miscalled ball, that Nallin ad- mltted, 1t is claimed, he was wrong on, that caused Paul Derringer tc blow up in the fifth inning.
 Street insisted, notwithstandine the marvellous pitching of Lefty Grove, that the Cards would have come through to win except for Nallin's action.
 In calling from back of the plate Street said, Nallin just as much as admitted to Derringer in the fifth inning he made a mistak7 in calling a pitch a ball instead of strike. That decision was maoe With the bases full, with two strikes and three balls on Haas, and, therefore, forced in a run. After that, Derringer blew up like an oil gusher. Nallin made a rotten game out of good one when he pulled that boner."
 The Cardinal players backed up Street, all of them calling Nallin strictly American League um- pire, robber and pirate
 T don't mind losing, but I hate to get robbed declared Derringer. That was perfect strike I threw Haas. When I rushed up to the plate after he called it a ball. he admitted it, saying: I missed it: I'm the goat And added Derrin- ger, If I had a gun I'd shoot him"
