Griffith to Demand 34-Game Night Schedule for Nats at Meeting of Majors
Slate of 28 Arc Tilts
At Least Appears
Likely for D. C.
Opposition to Capital
Plan Looms; Twilight
Play Is Not Wanted
By BURTON HAWKINS.
Probably the most revolutionary
measure ever presented to the
moneyed moguls of major league
baseball will be proposed by Presi
dent Clark Griffith of the Nats to
morrow in New York. He will re
quest that night baseball in Wash
ington be permitted from May 27
to September 4, inclusive, with the
exception of Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays.
Ihe adoption of Griffith’s plan
would mean 34 night games at Grif
fith Stadium this season. One
time arch-foe of night baseball,
Griffith is shooting for the works
and confidently Is calculating his
blueprints won’t be altered to less
than 28 night games here.
"They may not listen to me,” con-**
fesses Griffith smiUngly, "but I’m
gonna do a lot of talking. I’m gonna
put up a real battle for 34 night j
games here because I believe the
people of Washington want them.
Cities’ Problems Vary.
“As I look at It every city has Its
own problems and Washington's
case is unique due to the large per
centage of Government employes
here. President Roosevelt requested
more night baseball so war workers
can relax. Well, Washington is
loaded with war workers and I be
lieve our best means of catering to
them is by playing night baseball
and plenty of It.
“What I propose isn’t as drastic
as it sounds. Cities with two teams,
like St. Louis and Philadelphia,
probably will be permitted to play
14 night games each, or a total of
28 night games for each of those
cities. I feel the minimum of night
games Washington should be al
lowed is 28, and I'm hoping, of
course, to get 34.
"Twilight baseball here is out,"
continued Griffith. "People eat by
the clock and in Washington most
everybody eats about 6:30, so noth
ing would be gained by starting a
game at 4 or 4:30. We won t have
twilight baseball here unless the
fans request it and unless we get
less than 28 night games.
“Under my plan postponed night
games could be played as part of
double-headers on Saturdays and
Sundays.”
Stiff Opposition Seen.
Griffith’s proposal is likely to en
counter stiff opposition, but he is
hoping other owners will grasp his
viewpoint of doing for their club#
what they feel best and. by the same
token, permit him to adopt the plan
he calculates is suited for Wash
ington.
Major league owners, with many
contrasting opinions of what action
should be taken following President
Roosevelt’s letter to Commissioner
Kenesaw Mountain Landis suggest
ing more night games, will attempt
to reach an agreement. Should
they agree it is likely Landis will
okay their plan, but In any event
the final decision will be rendered
by the frosty gentleman who rules
baseball with an iron hand.
Griffith is contemplating no trad
ing flurry at the meeting, but
neither is he ignoring the prospect.
‘•I'm not satisfied with our club.” he
say*, “but other owners tell me they
won’t be trading until they get down
South. We need a hard-hitting third
baseman, but I don’t think well get
him at this meeting.”
Meanwhile Griffith announced'
the signing of Infielders Prank.
Croucher and Bob Repass.
Net Prize Awaits Hall
Bob Hall of Alexandria, runnerup
in The Star's Junior tennis tourna
ment last year, is requested to call
this paper’s sports department in
regard to a prize being held for him.

Griffith's Night Play Plan Called 'Happy Dust'
MacPhail Fears it Would Be as Tragic as Porgy's Charm
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Larry
MacPhail, president of the Brook
lyn Dodgers, disclosed today he
had written President Clark
Griffith of the Washington club,
comparing unlimited night base
ball to the “happy dust" which
a character in the musical play
“Pcrgy and Bess” dispenses with
tragic results.
MacPhail introduced night
baseball to the major leagues
while general manager of the
Cincinnati Reds, but ever since
has maintained that no more
than seven night games a sea
son should be played at home by
any one club. Griffith, who orig
inally was one of the principal
opponents of night baseball,
now wants to play ,every night
in the summer except Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays.
MacPhail’s letter follows:
"Dear Griff:
“I have read with interest your
letter on the subject of unlim
ited night baseball.
“I agree that baseball should
co-operate, as suggested by the
President, in making occasional
night games available for defense
workers. Does that mean un
limited night baseball?
“There is a character in
‘Porgy and Bess’ named Sport
ing Life who provides “happy
dust’’ to soften their problems
and ease their troubles—with
tragic results.
“If baseball sniffs too much of
that "happy dust” you are put
ting out in the form of unlimited
night baseball, I am afraid the
hangover will be something ter
rific when this thing is finally
finished.
Cordially,
L. I. MacPHAIL.

Crack Pros in Crosby Golf
Hits 6-Under-Par 66 as Hogan Takes 71,
Snead 74; Gibson, 67, Stands Second
By ROBERT MYERS,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif.. Jan. 31.—Shattering par by six
strokes with a 66, Amateur Johnny Dawson of Hollywood put
the powerful professional ranks in the shade today to lead the
field at the halfway stage of the sixth annual $5,000 Bing Crosby
36-hole golf tournament.
Dapper Johnny, the so-called uncrowned king of the Nation’s
amateurs, shot 9-hole scores of ---
32-34 for the par 36-36 Rancho
Santa Fe course, leaving the star
foursome of Defending Champion
Sam Snead, Crosby, Ben Hogan and
Bob Hope to entertain the huge
gallery with hilarious performances
—and not such good golf.
Snead, a three-time winner, shot
a 34 on the first side and racked
up five birdies on six holes, but his
jutter went haywire from the
twelfth green on and he staggered
in with a 43 for 77.
Hogan, too, failed to land in the
top bracket. He was 2 over going
out, but rallied with a 33 for 71.
Gibson’s 67 Best of Career.
One stroke back of Dawson was
Professional Leland Gibson of Kan
sas City, whose 67 was the lowest
he's made in four years of traveling
the winter tournament trail.
The field goes into tomorrow's
final 18-hole round with three pros
tied in the 68 bracket—Herman
Keiser of Akron, Ohio; Ralph Gul
dahl of Rancho Santa Fe, former
National Open champion, and Joe
Brown of Des Moines. Guldahl and
Brown played with the first half of
the field yesterday.
Tied at 69 were Charley Lacey of
Los Angeles, Lawson Little, former
Open and amateur titleholder; Ray
Mangrum of Pittsburgh, Emery
Zimmerman of Portland, Oreg., and
Sam Byrd of Ardmore, Pa.
Trailing this group were such
leading contenders as Horton Smith,
who fired a hole-in-one—his sev
enth—on the 205-yard fourteenth
just as dusk close-in; Byron Nel
son aid several flhers In the 70
division.
Six Score Even Pars.
Olin Dutra, Johnny Revolta and
Hogan were tied at 71, while the
even-par brigade included Jimmy

KEYSER, W. Va., Jan. 31.—Poto
mac State School's Catamounts
snapped a 3-game losing run and
avenged an earlier setback here to
night by defeating Columbus Uni
versity of Washington, D. C., 46-36,
in a basket ball battle featured by
the work of Center Dave Hardman,
who collected 17 points for the
winners.
Potomac started a reserve com
bination and this outfit turned a
6-point lead over to regulars at the
end of the first quarter. The var
sity pulled away to a 25-11 half
time score, but In the third period
Columbus collected 12 tallies while
yielding only 7 against a Catamount
mixture of first and second stringers.
The rivals battled on even terms
in the last period, each getting 13!
markers. Veana and Bums sparked
the Columbus quint with 11 and
8 points, respectively.

Dawson, playing with Professional
Harry Cooper, missed tying the
course record by two blows. A sales
man for a sporting goods concern,
he plays as an amateur but does
not compete in the U. S. G. A.
sponsored national amateur.
He played brilliantly throughout.
Bagging seven birdies and missing
par but once, he holed one 40-foot
chip shot and sank putts ranging
up to 20 feet.
Crosby turned in a creditable in
dividual 77 and Hope an 82. Other

At Lock Haven
LOCK HAVEN. Pa., Jan. 31.—In
a boxing meet that was a thriller
all the way. Lock Haven Teachers
College defeated Columbus Univer
sity of Washington. D. C„ here to
night by a 4,,2-3H count.
Lock Haven won three matches
by decisions and a fourth, the hea
vyweight bout, by forfeit. Columbus
won three, and one was called a
draw.
Bemie Jackson, the Explorers
145-pounder, pounded out a tech
nical knockout over Lock Haven’s
Fred Hill in 1 minute 20 seconds
of the first round.
In probably the best bout on the

Outlook for Minors Is Hopeful,
Despite Loss of Some Loops
Bramham Believes Free Agents Will Fill
Ranks of Leagues Depleted by Draft
By JUDSON BAILEY,
Assoelsted Frew Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Heading the vanguard of baseball not
ables coming here this week end for the annual dinner of the New
York baseball writers and various meetings, President William G.
Bramham of the National Association arrived today with a hopeful
outlook for the country’s minor leagues.
“Thus far we have been advised officially of only three leagues
that do not intend to open the 1942 <
season, but, of course, we all know
there will be others that will have
to fold their tents,” he said.
“However, even if six or eight
leagues are unable to continue, it
will not destroy the structure of
organized baseball and we will be
able to come back after the war
as strong, or stronger, -than ever.”
He named the Florida State,
Coastal Plain and Arizona-Texas
circuits as the three which definitely
are lost for this year.
“Judge" Branham said that from
October, 1940, to date the minor
leagues have given 405 players to
the Nation's military services and
147 others have been granted vol
untary retirement, many of them
presumably finding more profitable
employment in defense industries.
“This loss of talent may be offset
to a large extent by the players who
are turned free in the leagues that
will not operate this year,” he added.
"If you figure that each league
which does not open will relinquish
claim to approximately 100 play
ers. you will readily see that there
will be a sufficient number of play
ers available for the clubs that
intend to go.”
He also pointed out that some
clubs in leagues that fold will be
able to enter other circuits and
said that Orlando and De Land of
the defunct Florida State League
were considering a connection with
the Florida East Coast League and
that Wilson and Rocky Mount, N. c„
of the Coastal Plains circuit, were
meeting with the Bi-State League.
Majov Are to Help.
“The men. who run minor league
clubs in most cities of the “C” and
“D” classification.” he explained,
"are not in the game for money.
They are Inspired by civic pride
or for other reasons to give base
ball to their communities. They
prefer to break even, but generally
they expect to absorb some loss by
public subscription or otherwise.
“Many of these men feel that both
their time and their money should
be given entirely to the war effort.
This is laudable. We are going to
try. however, to keep every league
operating that can be kept going
and we expect to get the co-opera
tion of the major leagues and of the
higher minors to this end.”
Some major league club officials.
President George Trautman of the
American Association and other
baseball personages also arrived
today, but most of the leaders of
the diamond sport, including Com
missioner Kenesaw M. Landis, were
due tomorrow.
Players to Be Rewarded.
Landis will preside over a Joint
meeting of the major leagues Tues
day and his opinions are certain to
guide both the National and Ameri
can Leagues in their separate meet
ings scheduled for Monday.
In addition he will be one of the
speakers at the dinner tomorrow
night when the baseball writers will
award plaques to Joe Di Maggio of
the Yankees as the outstanding
player of the year; to Mel Ott, man
ager of the Giants, for meritorious
service to baseball over a long period
of years, and to Sergt. Hank Green
berg. former star of the Detroit
Tigers, for "extraordinary’ service to
baseball" through his exemplary
service in the Army.
Chief interest in the dinner
always has centered around the
writers’ lampooning of baseball's
greats, but there will be a serious
theme to tomorrow night’s program,
with representatives of both military
and civilian defense bodies sched
uled to present the Government’s
I viewpoint toward the continua
! tion of the game.
