GREAT STRETCH OF BASEBALL
 UNDER LIGHTS
BY GLEN PERKINS United Press Staff Correspondent


 New York, May 10. (UP) Several major league ball clubs to- night begin the most unpreccde schedule of arc light baseball in the history of the national sport.
 The Washington Senators, whose sun tan from this point hence will have to be acquired on the road, open their series of 43 night con- tests by playing host to the St. Louis Browns, current leaders of the American League. The only home day games which remain on the Washington schedule are on Sum- days and holidays.
 Other initial night games in clude Boston at Pittsburgh and New York at Cincinnati in the National League as play in the first intersectional rivalries opens with the eastern clubs of the Na- tional League in the west and the western half of the American League in the east.
 Opportunity
 Day war workers will have chance to see 197 night games of major league baseball this season. Club and League officials, with an eye to relaxation for war workers and, incidentally, toward their own pocketbooks, voted the after-dark games to those clubs whose parks were equipped with lighting facilities at the winter meeting las year.
 Tn the American League Wash ington. of course leads in the num- Der of after dark games. St. Louis follows with 2l and Chicago, Phila- delphia and Cleveland were allotted IA each. Detroit scheduled seven twilight contests and Boston and New York play only day games at home.
 The National League plays IS less than the 106 arc games in the junior circuit with the St. Louis Cardinals allotted 2l, seven more than any of the others. Brooklyn. New York. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Cin- cinnati play 14 and Boston and Chi cago play none.
 The added night games, coupled wit hthe fact that there is plenty of money available for tickets, promises to give baseball one of its biggest years at the gate.
