Griffith PROTESTING
Twilight Game Ban
Harridge Imposes

Reverses Himself

President Clark Griffith Of the
Mats today protested the order Of
William Harridge, president of the
American. League, by which the
Washington baseball team would not
be permitted to play 10 twilight
night games here.
Griffith professed inability to un-
derstand Harridge's order and
planned an appeal to Baseball Com
missioner X. M. Landis "Mr. Har-
ridge told me at our league meet
ing in New York that we could start
games at o'clock and finish them
under the lights" said Griffith.
Now he says we can't, and I don t
understand it."
Enthused by the ladies day crowd
of 1000 that saw the Mats and
Tigers in a twilight-night game at
Griffith Stadium last week, Griffith
Immediately announced the remain
in originally scheduled single week
day games would be started at
O'Clock.
Should Lands uphold Harridge' S
ruling the games that Griffith
changed to twilight affairs will start
at $3.50 O'Clock.

draw enough fans. In all probable
ity the cause OF their complaint is
just the opposite.
Yesterday, for the third time, the
Royals were kept from completing
an International League contest
when the dimout regulations halted
play between them and the Jersey
City Giants at the end of eight in
nings with the game scoreless.
This was the second game Of a
double e-header in which the Royals
dropped the first, 9-4.
Earlier this week Montreal had
scored three runs in the ninth in
ming against the Newark Bears,
knotting the count, only to have the
runs wiped out because the Bears
could not complete their half.
Montreal also had trouble with
the Giants in the first twi-night
game attempted After the Royals
had scored a flock of runs in the
ninth to take the lead, stalling tao
tics were used in the last half of the
frame, with the result that the half
inning was not completed. Frank
Shaughnessy, president OF the
league, ordered the game completed
and it is scheduled to be played

Tam Golf PAGERS
Nelson, Little
In Top Form
Game Best in Months,
Soy Aces With Cards
Of 81, 5 Under Par
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, July 24.-The Tam
O'Shanter golf tournament, unlim-
tied, made considerable sense today
for change, because Byron Nelson
and Lawson Little, two of the games
great players, were winging along
in front of the field in the SIS 900
open event with identical scores Of
67-five strokes under par-after the
first round of the 72-hole contest.
This was the first really sane de-
velopment of an otherwise daffy
week at Tam O'Shanter and it
went long way toward restoring
the reason of many who had felt
themselves slipping after the dream
like experiences of recent days.
Nelson. last years winner here
and possibly the finest medal player
in the game today, shot his round
early to get the jump on some 1873
professionals and flock of dis
tracted amateurs, who were other
wise wrapped up in their own match

Leaders at Peak Of Games.
Little, on his record certainly the
most formidable match PLAYER in
the world. came in just before dark
last night to tie Nelson and an
nounce his candidacy for the first
prize of $4,000 that will be handed
out Sunday. Things thus were closer
to normal at Tam O'Shanter today
than would have seemed possible "a
hours ago.
BY coincidence. the two leaders
clashed in the Ryder Cup matches
at Detroit last week and wound up
all square after SO hard fought
holes After his round here, Little
said he was playing his best golf
since he won the National Open
title two years ago. For his part,
Nelson said he was back on his
game for the first time since he
captured the masters meet at At
lanta last spring.

CLEVELAND, July 24.-Walter
Masterson and Early Wynn were
named by Manager Bucky Harris of
the Mats to face the Indians here
this evening in a double header that
is unique in American League his
tory. Probable pitchers for the Tribe
are Jim Bagby and Mel Harder.
This double header is SO unusual
that President William Harridge
of the American League thought it
necessary to send warning to Roger
Peckinpaugh, general manager of
the Indians. lest league agreement
on night games be violated He sent
a copy of the warning to Harris.
Originally. Peckinpaugh decided,
with concurrence by the Mats, that
play would start by twilight and
continue by arc light. Harridge in
sisted that since Cleveland was lin
tied to IA night games, the first half
of the double header would have to
be completed without the aid of
artificial illumina tion. II the lights
were turned on for even half an
Inning. the game would be charged
against Cleveland's quota of noe
turnal contests.
Mats Buoyed by Wins.
To avoid complications, Peckin-
paugh arranged for play to begin
in ample time to finish nine ordi-
nary innings by natural light.
When reminded Of the possibility
that the teams might go into long
overtime, Peck said he would have
to take that chance and. meanwhile,
would not borrow trouble.
The Mats arrived here from De-
troit with their spirits raised by
two victories in three starts against
the Tigers. In winning yesterday.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct. "a
The Rev. J. Hugh O'Donpell, c. S. c.,
president of the University of Notre
Dame, told the State Federation of
Catholic Alumnae here today that
"some self-appointed armchair doc
tors of public morale" are 'off the

IF the quibblers want to perform
q real service" he declared, "let
them declare moratorium on their
name-calling and get down to fun
ber that fifth columnists glory in
the tactics of confusion and dis
agreement"
The speaker declared, however,
that Il cannot help believing that
certain aspects of the immediate
war program are fraught with
danger. I can see disaster coming
from households in which the IA
ther works on one shift in defense
plant and the mother on another
while the children are farmed out
to a day nursery or left to roam
the streets. Without intending
to be humorous or to reflect upon
the worth of patriotism of any wom-
