u all for it."
In one short sentence Man
~ ager Bucky Harris of the Ma
tionals today pronounced his approval
of President Clark Grifith's inten-
ton of introducing major league base
ball at night next year. How about
the players" Bucky was asked, "and
what will it take from the game? How
much chance do you think Griffith
has of succeeding in persuading the
American League owners to adopt
night ball at the Winter meeting?"
"Al I've got to say" declared Harris,
"is that any ball player who balks at
playing at night should have his head
examined. If he isn't smart enough
to realize that it means his livelihood
he has no business in the game. Per-
sonally I don't think night base ball
has taken anything out of the game.
Washington fans will be surprised
when they see it under lights, how lit
tie difference there is in any respect.
For that matter so will ball players
who never have played it under a real
set of lights. don't see how any one
can scof at night base ball. It's here
to stay and sooner or later 1t will be
realized by all. Night base ball is
novel, attractive and convenient. It
will be a tremendous boost for owners
of teams which have been drawing
very few customers. AS for the chances
of the American League adopting night
ball I think it's 5-to-1 it will. Connie
Mack. know, is heartily in favor of
1t. Griffith likes it, and certainly the
st. Louis Browns should favor IT. ]

Too Late to Shift.

COME extremists advocate shifting
the games to another country.
They are. however. uninformed about
the complicated Olympic system. 1t
takes at least three years to prepare
the set-up for the quadrennial games
The structure cannot be shifted on
short notice. II the 1886 games are
not held in Berlin, they likely will
not be held at all. Any attempt to
move them. in fact, would precipi-
tate the bitterest kind of an athletic
conflict, dwarfing the current mani
festation Of i'll feeling.
The OlympicS are not awarded to
country or a national government
but specifically to a city. Thus the
1882 games were awarded to Los
Angeles, not to the United States.
The American Government had no
part in the bidding. arrangements or
conduct of the games. Thus it is
not with the Hitler government but
with the city of Berlin that interna-
tional Olympic authorities deal now
in preparation for the 1886 games.
Unfortunately, perhaps. the distinc-
ton is thinly discernible if not ac-
tually invisible to outsiders. The
separation Of politics and athletics
is not easy to achieve under current
circumstances in Germany. The one
reflects the other.
Funds Campaign Blocked.
THE actual conduct of the Olympics
is exclusively in the hands Of the
international sports-governing bodies.
Thus the International Amateur Ath-
letic Federation, not Germany, would
name the officials for and otherwise
conduct the track and field competi-
ton. Similarly the rowing, boxing,
fencing, swimming or wrestling ac-
tivities would be regulated by the
respective organizations permanently
exercising jurisdiction over these
sports.
The ultimate effect of all this is
diff1cult to forecast, so far as the
United States is concerned. Absence
of discrimination, racial or religious,
is fundamental in this country's ath-
letics, where Negro and white man,
Catholic. Protestant and Jew min
gle freely without prejudice in COM
petition. 1t is certain that the
athletic youth of the land is looking
forward with anticipation to the Ber-
lin Olympics. 1t is equally certain
that the athletic leaders scan the
horizon with alarm.
For instance. no campaign for
Olympic fund.- could be launched sue
ceSsfully while the current agitation
Is rife. Even If the protests and ILL
feeling suhsidS the task of trying to
raise the 100000 needed to send full
American teams to Berlin likely would
prove Impossible of attainment, thus
forcing a reduction on the various
personnel quotas Thus, in the final
analysis, the question facing the
American Olympic Committee will
amount to this: Is or will the situa-
tion in Germany shape up as making
it worth while for the United States
