THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, SPRINGFIELD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1940 Fans No Games Longer a Novelty Consider Night UNION'S 3 University to of Be Feared Washington This Football Season Team One SPORTS 3 Night Baseball Not Only Here to Stay but Growing of Biggest Turnouts Were at Nocturnal Engagements, at Cleveland and New York major leagues any longer and you World Series that it is going to nouncements are necessary--all the turnstile count. :5 Draw 1,538,021 Fans With two games still on the achedulo for the St. 'Louis Browns at Sportsman's Park, night baseball has drawn 1,558,021 paying customers 10 ball parks this summer for an average of 20,774 a came. Considering that these figures clude an entire season, good weather and bad, fine and frowsy attractions and rich and poor clubs, they emphasize more strongly than words the beneft lights have proved to baseball as a business. Two of the" biggest turnouts of the year were at night at Cleveland Auz.
14 when the Indians played the Chicago White Sox and 53,897 at New York Aug. 7 for a game between the Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers. If you again consider that both these games were played on Wednesday nights, and then hazard a guess at what the game contests would have drawn on work-day afternoon, you will understand why lighting sys. tems have warmed their way to the bosoms of the baseball magnates. Here are the total night game attendance figures of each of the clubs playing under lights: National League 0 Brooklyn Dodgers 201,669 Cincinnati Reds.
177,967 Pittsburgh Pirates 167,930 New York 163,814 St. Louis Cardinals 01,666 Philadelphia Phils 65,839 Total 868,915 League Chicago White Sox 228,703 Cleveland Indians 234,671 St. Louis (x) Philadelphia A's 101,252 (x) -Fo: 12 games; other clubs seven. Total a 689,106 Although it is now. obvious that baseball is here to stay, and to expand, this does not mean that all baseball men like it or that it is not still undergoing experimentation.
One reason for the American League granting permission to the Browns to play a double program of games at night, 14, beyond 'the club's critical need for financial aid, was to find the effect of an increased ratio of night games on attendance. It will take further study to make a propera appraisal, but there is evithere is a saturation point to the fans' desire for night games. The Browns' last two games, with Chicago, drew only 2588 and 4154. On the other hand their day games have been netting about 1000 and on occasion have dropped to around 500. The average night game attendance for the Cardinals' seven games was 13,095 compared with 10,373 for the Browns' $12 games in the same park.
A Clark Griffith of the Washington Senators and Walter Briggs of tit Tigers are two owners known to be pondering the problem of installing lights, and Griffith has said that would like to play considerably more than seven games at night. In any case it seems safe to assume saw the 73 night games me this year inthat the million' and half. fans who in the daytime' and will have a lot to do with the increased attendance totals that most clubs expect to have for this season over last. 3 NARRAGANSETT ENTRIES.

Every one of the 18 has either a college or professional background and most of them have both. One of the backfields will be practically the same as that which smashed out an unbeaten season a year ago- George Savarese, Orlando Ciraco, Fred Fiore and Biegelman, all formerly of New York University. But there'll an alternates crew that promises to be good and perhaps a trifle better.
Thompson Well Known Best known of the new quartet hereabouts is Jack Thompson, who used to play football for Lafayette and for the past scveral seasons has been quarterbacking the Danbury Trojans. Thompson stands six feet, one and weighs 190 which makes him almost the smallest of the newcomers. Then there's Ike Kern, former Colgate halfback and the midget of outfit.

Lack of higher education didn't seem to hamper him with the Trojans and he was their most effective groundgainer when they came to the West Side to play against the Churchills under the Stonewall banner. Petalla tips the beam at 210. Heavy Guards The figure that looms biggest in the picture is that of Joe Bagley, formerly of Templo University and the erson Pros.
Bagley, only recently appointed a Waterbury cop, reaches six feet, four inches skyward and weighs an even 250 pounds. He'll be stationed at guard along with 240-pound Joe Pivarnik, who was a varsity lineman for three years at Notre Dame and ed his pro career with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Northampton State Hospital nine on the Bay State field and the Arcanums will cross bats with the Pascos on the Arcanum field. Both contests are slated to start at 3. Prospects for a hurling duel between Kenneth Parsisson of the Bay State nine and James Cote of the State pital club are in view for the Bay State field contest.
These two stars, both righthanders, are among the best this city has to offer. The two clubs have been playing fine ball all season and are evenly matched despite the fact the Hilltoppers possess some sluggers of real ability. Coach Francis Sullivan of the State Hospital nine will award a trophy the most valuable player on his team during the course of the afternoon. The Pascos and the Arcanums have broken even in two games thus far and Sunday's encounter will be the "rubber." Curl Peavey, big er who started back on the comeback trail late this spring after an ahsence from the game, is slated to hurl for the Pascos. Robert Gleason will probably be on the mound for the Arcanums.
The officials of the Arcanum A. A. nine announced today that they would hold their annual Booster Day program Sunday afternoon, Sept. 22, on the Arcanum field in Florence.

No ananybody has to do is take a look at Big Ten, Coast Champs May Play In Bowl Battles Western Conference to Ballot Today on Plan for Fixed Post-Season Series CHIC.AGO. Sept. 6 (AF)-Football's famed Rose Bowl game may become New Year's spectacle involving the gridiron champions of the Big Ten and the Pacific Coast Conference.
Faculty representatives of the Western Conference will meet tomorrow at the request of Big Ten athletic directors to ballot on the plan for A fixed post season series between the two conferences. The Big Ten athletic directors anproved the proposal Aug. 28, at which time they asked the faculty committee to give consideration. The Pacific Conference, which now engages in all star track competition with the Big Ten, reportedly has favored the plan for some time. Six Votes Needed Approval of the plan--which could make the" next Bowl game at Pasadena, on Jan.
1, 1011 A Big TenPacific Coast Conference engagement -would result -if six of the 10 faculty representatives voted affirmatively. Should there he favorable majority vote, the question would be left open for 60 days. If a protest were lodged one of the committeemen within that period another vote would be taken. If none were registered, the plan would stand approved. The plan reportedly runs along these lines: (1) At' the end of each season the Big Ten team--not necessarily the champion though it would be the conference winner barring in unforeseen developments--would be named by the athletic directors or the faculty men, or both.
(2) The Big Ten team would continue in training and make the trip to the Coast during the Christmas holidays. (3) The receipts going to the Big Ten team would be used toward expenses of the Big Ten commissioner's office and the team's traveling and other expenses, with a portion going to the team's school and the remainder being prorated to other conference 2 One of the reasons for general belief here "that a definite stand would be taken tomorrow was the presence of W. B. Owens of Stanford. chairman of the executive committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and prominent in the af.
fairs of the Pacific Coast Conference, now under supervision of an athletic commissioner. Prof. Owens' presence was expected to give faculty committeemen a chance to inquire, firsthand, into all angles of the problem.

of Aldermen, August 26. 1910. Attest: CLIFFORD F. SMITH, City Clerk. Talks About Salmon Confront Washington's coach, Irish Jimmy Phelan, with clippings from all over the country picking his team as the West Coast's probable Rose Bowl representative, and what does Jimmy talk about? Salmon fishing.
And how about this item telling of Minnesota's coach, Bernie Bierman, picking Washington's star halfback, Dean as a 1040 All-American before Dean has strapped on a pad? Jimmy talks about the bears in Alaska. The Wolves are sitting mum and only speaking among themselves. They're waiting to sce what kind of season Phelan has, for under the his past one-year sevcontract. Each fall eral J'ears the huskies have coma touted highly, only to fizzle' in early season contests. Should Go Places The Huskies should places-if.
If, for instance, they can stave off injuries at center and right half. And if the horde of fast and beefy sophom*ores and reserves can step into breech without making too many takes. Washington has two potential AllAmericans McAdams and Rudy Mucha, and those who saw that pair perform in Los Angeles against Southern California started them All-Americans ever since ing last Dec. MAdams, 2. from Caldwell, Idaho, a 200-pound, six-foot, versatile right half who ranked last season among the Nation's top passers and punters.
Besides which he is a fine blocker and Mucha, hall from carrier. Chicago, is a 210-pound center who created havoc among the ran Trojans and everybody else he up The against. Huskies have a host of other near-stars and have stars chance and to beat every club they meet. But they've got a tough the schedule distance and it's without getting knocked over at least douhtful they can go once. lere are their foes: Minnesota, Idaho, Oregon, successive week one-week Oregon State, California on then Stanford, Southern rest, University' of California at fornia, and Washington State Los successive Angeles week ends.

Few Outsiders Win Golf Title By Harry Grayson NEA Service Sports Editor Even if he had not been' declared ineligible for writing an instructive book, Jim Ferrier of Australia would have faced a pronounced jinx in the National Amateur golf 'championship at Winged Foot, Sept.
Only twice in 45 years has the Havemeyer trophy gone to a foreigner. Harold Hilton, now secretary of the Royal Liverpool Club, came down in front for England's only victory at abbreviated Apawamis in 1911. Twenty-one years elapsed before another outsider made the grade, and then it was the tight-lipped all-round athlete, C. Ross Somerville of Canada, then his middle 30's, who lifted the prize in a duel with Johnny Goodman at Baltimore's Five Farms. The present war leaves the 44th United States Amateur without for.
eign flavor. Sandy Somerville, though past 40. is with the Canadian forces on the other side. Stricken with pneumonia in Flanders, he was released from the hospital in time to get in on the ill-fated expedition to Norway. Somerville is a fighter with or out his irons.
Findlay S. Douglas, who took the National Amateur in 1898, and Walter J. Travis, who fastened a stranglehold on the cup at the turn of the century, captured it in 1900, '01 and again in '03, were foreign born, but were Amer. ican citizens when they scored and acquired their swings in this country. Douglas, born in Scotland, came to New York at an early age.
Travis, a native of Australia, didn't know what a club looked like until he was past 30. Jock McLean came closer to lifting the crown without actually doing so than any of the many other invaders. Johnny Fischer wrapped three bir. together to win at the 37th hole after laying the Edinburgh whisky salesman a dead stymie on 16th in the 1936 play -off at Garden City. Bespectacled Phil Perkins, the onetime Lancashire paper peddler who is now the professional at Cleveland's Kirtland.
took his time about hurdling such as Don Moe, Arthur Yates, Johnny Dawson and George Voigt over Brae Burn's narrow fairways in 1928, but was unfortunate enough to bump into a fellow named Bobby Jones, and of them all, 13 and 12. the result was the most one onc-sided final Such celebrated shotmakers as Rog. or Wethered, Cyril Tolley and Hector Thomson have been among British players who have taken their best licks, but the foreign menace hasn't amounted to much in connection with the United States Amateur golf championship.
