 Allen Beats Cubs

politan fans for the duration today but the heaviest blow was expected to fall on the two July all-star re- lief games.
 Intensification of the coastal dim- out to protect shipping against sub- marine attacks brought definite ban by Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine on the nocturnal games but his statement, while startling, only amplified stringest dinout reg ulations which went into effect for the first time last night.
 The New York Giants and Brook lyn Dodgers are the chief sufferers from Valentines veto of the arc- light contests since the first of -28 after-dark contests involving the two clubs was set for Friday night and had to beswitched to the day. time of the same date. But the &C., ton also made the staging of the all-star games at the Polo Grounds and at Cleveland on the nights of July 6 and 7th, respectively, un- certain.
 National and American league all- star aggregations are scheduled to meet in the first contest with the survivor to play an all-star service squad at Cleveland the next night. However, Ford Prick, president of the National league, said transpor- tation difficulties might disrupt the plans.
 Tough Task
 It would be difficult, according to Prick, to hold the July 6 contest at the Polo Grouns in the daytime be- cause many stars probably would be playing in the west on Sunday, July 5, when for example, the Cubs and Cardinals collide in a double header at St. Louis and the Browns and White SoX play in a twin-bill at Chicago. They might not reach New York in time for the daylight tilt. Flying the playersd might be hampered by priorities on plane use.
 Prick expects Commissioner Kene- saw M. Landis to hold a meeting soon to determine what shall be done about the New York game.
 President Horace Stoneham im- mediately switched Friday nights affair with Brooklyn into a day game and then added that there would be no twilight experiments with the remainder of the IA games scheduled for the night time by the Giants. The other games will be moved up to the regular daylight starting time of o'clock (EWT).
 President Larry MacPhail of the Dodgers, father of major league night ball." admitted that he would need more time before he an- nounced any schedule changes. He still had some faint hope that something might save the games"
 The incomes of both the Giants and Dodgers will suffer almost equally as both clubs had doubled this years quota of arc-light con- tests. Last season, the Dodgers drew total of 166,93l for six games while the Giants packed in 137,S65.
 May Get Break"
 As yet, the new regulations have not affected the two nearby Inter- national league cluhs-Newark and Jersey City. Mayor Vincent J. Mur- phy of Newark has granted permis- sion for Newark's first night game tonight when the Bears play Jersey City under the lights. Army tests will be made but Jersey City has already staged night ball and ap- parently the field glow was not visi- ble at sea.
 The Brooklyn Dodgers scored their seventh straight victory yes- terday as Johnny Allen held the Cubs to five hits for a Al triumph his third of the year. Clyde Nc. Cullough's ninth inning homer ac- counted for the only Chicago run as Brooklyn stretched their National league lead to seven games.
 St. Louis blasted the New York Giants, 16-4 to move into fourth place, a half game behind the idle Pittsburgh Pirates. Enos Slaugh- ter's three hits paced the 15-hit St. Louis parade which accounted for their fourth victory in six starts.
 Cincinnati at Boston was post poned and Pittsburgh and Philadel- phia were unScheduled.
 Caught Up
 The Cleveland Indians bounced into a virtual first-place tie with the idle New York Yankees in the league by defeating the Philadelphia Athletics, 7-4. The Indians trail the champions, whose game with the St. Louis Browns was postponed, by .013 percentage points. Chubby Dean won his third victory of the year as he held the As to six hits but he needed some ninth Inning help from Joe Heving to get the last man out with two on.
