Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, May s.—Whether baseball after dark can be made any more appealing to the customers than the present form of presentation is an exp er ' which is Lcing worked out by the Dos Moines club in the Western League, and I am told that the big league club owners are more than passively interested in the adventure. The idea seem* sound enough provide i the lighting effect* re adequate. Only * comparatively small percentage of peoplr find it eonnUtently convenient to lean their bu.ine*. In the afternoon. The prospect of rolling over to the ball park an absorbing a nlne-Innlng game after the evening victual* 1* something that might conceivably lure a great number of peop e who otherwise would be content to get their baseball out of the box score. Certaintly if *Joh" Gilbert in "Hearts Aflame" or some such cinema epic can entice the old man out of the house after a long day at the office it Is reasonable to suppose that the manly charms of Babe Ruth would not leave him utterly cold and unmoved, particularly when the moon hangs high, the winds are low and the Azure dome Is star dappled. an a To the business men *bo operate t t club*, the economics of the innovation carry a definite attraction. Not many . the clubs do a brisk businc s during the week and few of them would be able to survive v/lthwnt the big gates that come on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. If owl baseball served to stimulate the week-night trade without impairing the mechanics of the play It would seem a practical arrangement and there could be no reason for not adopting It generally. a a o 1 RECALL that a game of moonlight baseball was played in the old Federal League in Brooklyn about fifteen years ago and that the results were quite hilarious, due to inferiority of the lighting system. O tt tt It used to be the custom to bold outdoor fights in the afternoon, but in recent years this has been changed and all of them are held at night. 1 can t sav that this has added anything to the Improvement or refinement of the sport, but the existing deficiencies can not be charged to ‘he engineers. Indeed, many of the fig tv that are held at night would be much more acceptable from a critical viewpoint if they were presented to the customers in stygian darkness. nun I note that Ed Barrow of the Yankees is not disposed to look upon the night game with any violent enthusiasm. Possibly there are peculiarities about the metropolitan trade which are not to be found elsewhere. I can see that the problem of getting the boys out of the speakeasies and into the bleachers at night is one that requires profound speculation. nan Barrow probably has fears that to a considerable number of his patrons a high hall at night fall is something that has nothing whatever to do with putouts or base hits. I have not heard what the umpires think of the scheme, but I have a notion they would just as soon have the hours stand as they are.

Some of these gentlemen seem to have trouble enough seeing the plays clearly in broad daylight and there is no assurance that they would see them any better under the flood lights, though it might be possible to equip the sphere with red and green flash lights which would automatically distinguish between balls and strikes and safe plays and outs. a a a Still I doubt that even this would give complete satisfaction because there are ball players who never admit they are out or that a strike has been thrown past them. a a a In at least one respect, however, the night game ought to appeal to the umpires—they would never face the problem of deciding when a game should be called on account of darkness. a a a Os course, there would always be the possibility that the umpires would have to decide when a tame should be stopped on account of dawn. It took the Giants and the Dodgers somethin* like two hours to play three innings the other day and even with a night game starting at B:30 o’clock there could be no definite guarantee that it would be over in time for the customers to get breakfast and be at the office on time.

More Fame for Brazil

Bp Vnited Press KOKOMO, Ind., May s.—lvan Fuqua’s record - breaking mark of 9.7 in the century dash was the big noise in the fifth annual Kokomo relays Saturday. The Brazil youth clipped twotenths from the state high school 100-yard record set by Fowlkes of Muncie in 1928 and equaled the world’s interscholastic record.

ART SHIRES DENIES FEUD WITH HODAPP; MUST ACCIDENTS’ White Sox First Baseman Turns Over New Leaf and Agrees to Quit Diamond Fisticuffs; Says Bush is Hustler, Fighter and Real Manager.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May s.—“ The only trouble they’re going to have with me from now on is getting me out when I come to bat,” said Art Shires, colorful Chicago White Sox first baseman, in explaining today how he has turned over anew leaf since his many escapades of last season. ‘“When I agreed to quit fighting I passed up $60,000,” said Shires “and that’s more money than I’ll save out of baseball in ten years. Since the two don’t mix, I decided to play baseball and behave myself, because I love to play the game. I’d be crazy to get into trouble again, as I lost $3,500, or almost half my salary, in fines last year. That’s not going to happen again.” Shires denied that he had a feud on with Johnny Hodapp, 190-pound second baseman of the Cleveland Indians, growing out of two collisions with him. Shires had a blood vessel ruptured in his back when he collided with Hodapp at Cleveland April 22, and only returned to the game Sunday, making his appearance as a pinch-hitter against the Yankee^. “Hodapp and I are good friends,” said Shires, “It just happened that we had two collisions, and the second one at Cleveland had nothing to do with the first one at Chicago. Hodapp accidentally stuck his knee in my back as he fell when

THE batting splurge launched by ; Dutch Hoffman and Clyde Barnhart featured the Indians’ early days on the road and the stalwart outfielders have moved up : into the class of elite sluggers.

The Corridenites evidently can not escape the weather jinx. SATURDAY’S tilt was won by the Indians, 12 to 4, with Claude Jonnard merely coasting through. Hoffman drove in six runs as he combed the sphere for three hits. The Tribe completed three double plays and there is sound reason to believe that Eddie Sicking is growing stronger and snappier in the business of relaying quick throws. a a tt MANAGER CORRIDEN CHANGED HIS BATTING ORDER SATURDAY.

Fuqua also ran the anchor lap in the half-mile and 1,500-yard relays, both of which were won by Brazil high school athletes.

I was breaking up a double play at Cleveland. The change in Shires this season may be partially explained by his attitude toward his new manager, Donie Bush. “Bush is a hustler and fighter,” said Shires, “and knows his business. That’s the kind of a guy I like to play baseball for. I’m a hustler and I’d rather play ball in a class D league than sit on the bench in the majors.” Shires said he had no malice toward Lena Blackburn, former White Sox manager, with whom he had three fights last season. “Lena wasn’t a manager and I just couidn t play under him. He’s a fine fellow and a good coach but just not cut out for a manager. All my troubles started last season when .re took the captaincy away from me and benched me after a run-in at Dallas before the season opened.” Always the booster, Shires thinks the White Sox are a first division team this season and will volunteer information about the improvement of every player on the club. “They laughed at us last season,” said Shires, “but we can show ’em hit for hit this season and we are going to do some laughing ourselves. We have a better team all the way round than last season and we’re going to cause plenty of trouble before September rolls around.”

Schmeling Arrives on Title Quest German Denies He Is Not in Condition for Bout With Sharkey. Bli Vnited Press NEW YORK, May o.—Max S-hmeling of Germany is back in the United States with the heavyweight championship as his objective. Schmeling arrived Sunday aboard the S. S. New York of the HamburgAmerican line from a nine months stay, and was greeted at the pier by a cheering crowd of about 3,000.
