I SAW my first game Of night

I SAW my first game Of night
Il baseball the other night.
II was at the Polo Grounds,
that somewhat outmoded old
field that lies in a cul-de-sac at
the end Of Eighth avenue in
Harlem.
/ thought the game looked
unreal under the lights. II
struck me as more of a show,
an exhibition, rather than as
regularly scheduled game OF the
championship season OF 1945.
But probably that was due to
my unfamiliarity with this form
of the pastime.
l suppose IL I saw night base
ball every night for a few
weeks I would see no novelty
in II whatever. and might even
like II better than the daylight
game. though / doubt IL. The
night game did not have the
feel" of real baseball 10 me,
nor did the crowd.
There we're over as, 600 per-
sons present, only a few thou
sands less than the capacity of
the Polo Grounds. I think
many of them were drawn by
curiosity or were out-of-town-
ers. They did not seem TO be
the same type of fan you see at
daylight baseball, unless il may
be that night baseball does not
incite the enthusiasm of the day
light game.
I MUST also allow for the fact
i that, in this particular con-
test, the visiting team, the st.
Louis Cardinals. had the upper
hand on the New York Giants
all the way, and that kind OF
game is not calculated to pro-
duce much enthusiasm in a home
town crowd. What have they
got TO enthuse about7
AZ a daylight game. you can
see faces in the crowd quite dis
tinctly even from a distance.
At night game, they are
shadowy and vague. When the
ball is knocked into the air IL
always looks as If il Is going a
long distance though IL may be
just a short hit. The light is
very deceptive.
I saw the game from the
press coop which hangs under
the caves Of the mezzanine Of
the grandstand at a point
directly back of the home plate
and looking down on the field.
When The Star Spaneled Ban
ner' was played and the play
ers on both teams came out in

with their heads barred. / saw a
lot OF gray noggins and also
balding beans.

various players on the two

went out when the home run

Up Police sought two young
men today for questioning about
the death of 17-year-old Anna
Elizabeth Dreyer, pretty, red
haired waitress whose strangled
nude body was found in the
woods just off highway Satur-
day.
Miss Dreyer disappeared aft
er finishing work at restaurant
early last Saturday morning and
searching parties have been
looking for her since that time.
Authorities said she had been
strangled with a mans belt,
which still was twisted tightly
about her neck when she was
found.
Some Of her clothing lay
nearby and other pieces were as
far as a mile away. The police
expressed belief she had died in
an automobile, and that her
body was taken from it to the
underbrush.
One of the young men sought
already has been questioned by
police, but released. Officers
wished to question him again,
and a friend, but reported they
