LAMPL|GHT GAME
NOT NOVELTY NOW
Leagues Note Interest Is
Waning-PIayers Object
ShadoWy Tits.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

n IEW YORK, January Ia
NJ Night base ball games in
/ Y 1882 will be almost entire
ly a matter of local senti-
ment and the determination of
owners as to whether the games
are worth while, according to a
wide investigation made through
out the minor leagues.
The major leagues will not play
night base ball. There are only
one or two club owners who have
given the matter any thought.
They have not taken it up seri-
ously enough to make any recon-
mendation on it..
The Pacific Coast League, which is
located in the section of the United
States best adapted for night base ball.
is not nearly so enthusiastic for 1t as
it was in the first year of its trial, in
1880, when it was novelty on the
Coast.
Players Do Not Like Game.
Players assert they cannot do as well
in night games as in day games. They
were backward at first about expressing
their opinion, but they are frank enough
about it now. They complain about the
shadows and believe that pitchers with
great speed have a better opportunity
to be successful under the artificial light
than they have In the daytime.
Cap" Neal Of the Louisville club
thinks night base ball should be treated
more on holiday basis than as regu-
lar bill of fare. He believes one game at
night in Louisville is quite enough.
Norman A. Perry, the wideawake
owner of the indianapolis club, believes
the fans there like night base ball and
he is willing to give them all they want.
"Ot course, If I found 1t wasn't popu-
lar," he said, II would go back to day
base ball. 1t seems to me that it strikes
Indianapolis right"
While Mr.. Perry has no intention Of
deserting Indianapolis, he has been re-
ported several times to be desirous Of
entering major league base ball by
purchase of either the Cincinnati club
or the New York Giants. There isn't
a chance that the Giants will be sold
while the owner Of the team Is in his
present state Of mind. Mr.. Perry never
will buy the Cincinnati club at the price
put on 1t by the interests that now
hold the stock
Newark Not Strong for 1t.
The International League will make
its night base ball in 1882 matter
of local opinion solely. The Newark
club will not b. strong for 1t, and 1t
has proved bloorner in Buffalo.
TT might ha tf1~9Iobf that fhe GnutHs
ern Association would find night base
ball an appeal to the teams in the
warmer States, but most of the men,
bers of the Southern look upon night
base ball as only novelty. They say
it is impossible to move their players
into the better leagues if they play night
base ball as major league clubs are be-
ginning to look askance upon records
made in night games.

Contracts Signed

THREE Nationals now have &C
L cepted terms for their services
in the 1882 American League
campaign, the latest to sign being
Joe Kuhel, youngster who made
good at first base after illness
forced the retirement of the vet
eran, Joe Judge, on May 1, last
year. Kuhel's signed contract was
received at the Washington club
headquarters this morning. Ossie
Bluege, veteran third sacker, signed
yesterday, while the contract Of
Dave Harris, utility outfielder, came
in last Friday.
In a letter accompanying his con-
tract, Kuhel stated he already is
doing light conditioning work and
believes the knee that troubled him
several times last season will be
sound when he reports at the Biloxi
training camp.
President Clark Griffith declined
to state the terms Of the contracts,
but it is likely that Bluege, who
was not so successful last year as
high-salaried player, probably took
a pay cut Kuhel was believed IN
line for a promotion. Harris an

salary received in 1881.

Under a sun that was almost springlike in it's mild warmth, Ju neau today was digging cut from under the heaviest 24-hours fall of snow of the season, and one of the heaviest in several years. Seventeen inches of snow had fallen in the 24 hours preceding midnight Tues day
 Some of it was turned into water by a heavy rain that fell in the early morning hours, but there was still plenty left on the streets and sidewalks to impede traffic in all directions and block motor vehicle traffic in many sections.
 Melting snow that filled deep ruts in the snow, particularly in the business district, added to traf- fic troubles and made automobile operation a rather risky business. The indications were that the tenn perature would drop later this af- ternoon or evening to below freez- ing.
 Traffic over Glacier Highway be- tween town and Aux Lake moved without difficulty as the Bureau of Public Roads cleared away the new snow over the route shortly before midnight. Vehicular traffic on the Thane Road is again block ed. A slide, estimated to contain 5 5,0O0 yards of snow, filled the road near the Union Oil Company sta- tion in the same place a similar slide occurred several weeks ago.

BERLIN, Feb. 24.-Madame Jo- hanna Gadski, noted opera singer, Is dead here as the result of in- juries received in an automobile accident.
 Conflict with the world of music because of love for her native land, Germany. during the World War, definitely altered the career of Jo- hanna Gadski, one of the foremost Wagnerian sopranos of her time.
 She had the unique distinction of being a singer born abroad who achieved her fame and success in America. Coming to the United States in 1895 a comparatively un- known young singer, she rose stead fly in prestige and popularity Tn the midst of her war activities her connection with the Metropoli- tan Opera House, New York, was terminated and thereafter her ap- pearances were confined largely to concert work.
 On New Years eve, 1915 Madame Gadski gave a dinner at her home at which. it was reported, Otto Goritz, German baritone, sang 2 parody making a jest of the sink
