other chib. ft worked to perfection last week when the Yankees turned on the lights In key games against the Cleveland Indians. Rut it backfired yesterday at Detroit. There, after the Tigers had tied the score at IS to IS by scoring two runs in the 18th Inning, the game had to be railed because of darknew. I-arry Doby had hit a tworun homer to send Cleveland ahead. 13 to 11. In the top half of the 18th, only to have the Tigers fill the bases in their turn at bat and push home the tying run on an Infield out and plm.b-hitter Charley Keller's single. Only a technicality prevented the lights from being turned on. It was the general understanding that the rale would apply la all parks a* soon as the western clubs made their final trips east, since sectional warfare continues until the last day of the season. Thus, this vital game which rould have gone either way. canInot now be settled, until Saturday.
