Royals Would Discard
Night Games After
Time-Limit Loss
E.y the Associated Press.

F.r the Associated Press.
AS far as twilight -arclight games
are concerned, the Montreal Royals
want no more of them.
For the second time the Royals
have come from behind in the ninth
either to tie an International
League contest or to go ahead
only to have the runs wiped out
because the lights were turned off.
In a game with the jersey City
Giants early in the season the
ROYALS scored a flock of runs in
the ninth, but when stalllng tactics
were used in the latter half of the
frame the inning could not be COM
pleted and the score reverted to
| the eighth, with the Jerseys the
! victorS.
However, League President Frank
Shaugnessy ordered the game to
be played from the Giants half OF
the ninth on.
Montreal wasn't so fortunate
against Newark yesterday. After
deadlocking the contest with a
three-run outburst in the first of
the ninth they lost out when the
Bears couldn't finish their half and
the score reverted to the eighth
with Newark winning, 80.

Promoter Joe Turner soon may

Wills, local middleweight who
gave away 9 pounds and came off

last night at Griffith Stadium, but
Turner also is cultivating other
promising youngsters.
Those 1900 fans got pretty excited
about the way Wills picked himself
off the floor in the seventh round
and proceeded to capture decision
from the crude Baltimore Negro.
Wills was fortunate, of course, in
that Brown lacked the flnesse to belt
him out on Georgia avenue after
that knockdown.
Wills was staggering, ready to
drop for a more prolonged stay
with another authoritative punch,
Brown, though, let him hang on,
and when Frankie recovered he car
ried the attack convincingly enough
