Brooklyn Dodgers, 7 to army
emergency relief game victory over
the New York Giants last night
may mean the end of twilight base
ball in New York.
The game. which attracted 57.305
persons to the Polo Grounds - the
largest single game attendance
there-was called in the ninth in
ming because of dimout regulations
with the Giants having men on
first and second and no one out.
Under baseball rule, it must go
down as a Brooklyn victory and
there is no appeal but President
Horace Stoneham of the Giants an
nounced that after the twilight game
this evening there would be no
more ball games at that hour at
the Polo Grounds.
Brooklyn probably will continue
to play out its twilight schedule but
the amount of criticism which fol-
lowed the Dodgers 4 to victory
over the st. Louis Cardinals last
week may lead to a change of plans
for next season.
