ID Night Games Urged
|By Griff Held Lever
To Bringing More
Soid to Really Want 40,
But Takes Conservative
Step Toward His Goal
By BURTON HAWKINS.

Clark Griffith's proposal to expand
the night game limit for each major
league club to IA games may be
the wedge by which he hopes to
blot sunlight out of baseball almost
exclusively during the months of
July and August
What Griffith will lay before the
major leagues joint session in New
York next month is a more con-
servative blueprint of radical de-
sign he conceived last year when
he launched a campaign for night
baseball on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday. Thursday and Friday
during July and August.
That procedure was too terrific
to receive serious consideration, but
with his 14-game appeal Griffith
feels he may present arguments
which may be accepted. If success
full 1t then would be a comparatively
short hop from IA to 40 night games
season.
Sees Backing Of Fans.
Griffith is fascinated by the av-
erage crowd of 1900 who paid to
view the Mats seven night games
here last season. For a club that
foundered in the cellar most Of the
year the Mats were attracting amaz-
ing crowds at night.
There are indications Grifith's S
proposal would be favored by fans.
BY now night baseballs novelty
has evaporated. yet evening en-
gagements continue to create
crowds where none was likely to
grow. Even in St. Louis, where the

hope of winning couple Of games
before the curtain drops on the cur
rent campaign stems from Burnell
(Stub) Martinson's installation at
quarterback, where he figures to hold
forth during the rest of the cam

The Arlington (Calif) youngster

new air of confidence to the squad.
Held Ideal for Job.
Burnell is a blocking back and a
good one, so he's not worried about
carrying the ball too much or too
little. All he has to do is call the
number and then help hew a path
way through the enemy for the car
rier.

wouldn't call their own number at

kids would think they were trying
to hog the spotlight or do all the
work. Other times they'd work
themselves into a state of exhaus-
ton rather than let the other fell
lows think they were Sinking their
jobs. As result of that we really
couldn't get the best out of them.

that unfavorable weather conditions

On a basis of these figures, Mary

'outscore the Hoyas in free-count-
ing battle. Maybe the Terps can't
go forward through another stout

This is not meant to disturb
Hagerty's peace of mind, but merely
a friendly hint that the balloon

boss still thinks Rigby is the gent

Use Of Iron, Steel Scrap
Scars 10 New Record
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, May 29.-Steel mills,
blast furnaces and foundries in the
first four months of 1941 consumed
17,518,000 gross tons of iron and
steel scrap, a record breaking ton
mage, compared with II $3.50 900 tons
melted in the similar period of
1910, the Institute of Scrap Iron d
Steel. Inc, Washington, estimates.
This increase of so per cent in
the use of scrap compares with a
rise of 40 per cent In the produc-
ton of steel ingots and 80 per cent
in pig iron, in the manufacture Of
which scrap is principally used.
Notwithstanding the unprecedent-
ed requirement for steel, pig iron
and castings for civilian and de-
tense activities, the scrap to sup
port these programs has been avail
able. it is pointed out by the in
stitute.
Domestic consumption in April is
placed by the institute at 4,406 900
gross tons. a reduction Of Csc. 900
tons from March, due to the short
er month and the showdown of blast
furnaces caused by the bituminous
coal strike. In April. 1910, the melt
was only 2548, 900 tons.
Exports in March, latest month
for which Government statistics
are available. totaled only 54,383
gross tons, of which 1904 tons
went to the United Kingdom, 5.475
tons to Canada. 1921 tons to Mex
leo and 563 to all other countries.
Scrap exports are scarcely one
fourth of the volume of a year ago.
