Major leagues Continue Heavy Night Schedule NEW YORK UP — National League infielders in four parks will play on smoother diamonds during the last four innings next season, but that was about the only concession made thus far today to players in their negotiations with manageinen. The club owners voted in both leagues Monday to go along with the same heavily-loaded schedul? Os night games — which the players detest. Today they were expected to take up other player demands and were expected to vote them down just as quickly. Thk players want their salary minimum increased" from $5,000 io 87.200 per year. They want no more night games preceding doubleheaders, nor do they want night games on days when they go from one town to another. Last year on a number of occasions they got both at the same time. They want moving expenses doubled from S3OO to S6OO when traded from one club to another, more liberal spring training expenses, a flat rate of $8 per day meal money on the road, and reduction of the

definition of a player “veteran" from 10 years to eight. There are several concessions which accrue to 10 year niajor league men, chief of which Is that they can not be waived out of the league without their consent. JMonday, in maiwthon sessions which brought forth mainly routine news, the National League decided to make official the practice of rolling infields after five innings. Four clubs — Cincinnati, St. Lou’s, New York, and Milwaukee — haJ been doing it for years. That was positively the only concession to players and it brought no joy to “leg hitters” who sometimes beat out “groundskeeper singles” on balls which strike errant pebbles. .Sundays win be longer in many instances because both leagues voted to restore use of lights to complete games which otherwise would have to be, called because ot i darkness. ? -- : In the American, clubs must fFe 1 .intentions with league President Will Harrldge at the beginning Os the season, that they intend to use sun<jay lights. If not, the lighta w’P be denied. In the National the on’.V restriction is \that lights rniist be used to complete games and no second game of a doubleheader may start after 6 p.m. Washington u ill be the site oi the 1956 All-Star game but the National League has not decided where it will be played in 1955. ft previously had been decided that the 1954 classic would be at Cleveland on July 13.
