Polo Grounds. Curfew Over

But There'll Be No Circus ~ Stuff at Night Games.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15 (U. P).— The New\ York Giants packed the Polo Grounds curfew law in moth balls today and went ahead with plans to bring night baseball (and increased gate receipts) to the Manhattan park in 1940.

Only major league club never to play a night game during the

. | pennant season, the Giants formally

capitulated yesterday and announced the leasing of .contracts to Hie Westinghouse Electric Supply 0. : The Giants will play seven games after dark next season under an elaborate 200,000,000 - candlepower lighting system and will accept night dates on the road with Brooklyn, Cineinnati, Philadelphia and any other club which may install

lights. Night ball antics of the Dadgers family on “the other side of the tracks” drew nothing but scorn from the “genteel” Giants for two seasons until last year’s attendance Sgures (for Brooklyn) were pub-

Figures Too Much For Him President Horace Stoneham, who apparently sided with Manager Bill Terry in his bitter opposition to the night game when jt first came to the majors in 1936, couldn't resist the lure of these figures: 1. Attendance for -seven home games (for Brooklyn) 205,364. 2. Average attendance for seven games (for Brooklyn) 29,327. However, Stoneham said that ss long as he is president of the Giants, the club will never play more than seven games at home, will never held footraces, jitterbug contests or any of that “circus stuff.” “We may have a band,” Stoneham said, “but the other stuff is out. It has no place in the game. Furthermore, you can say that Terry, Treasurer Leo Bondy and myself, are in complete accord as far as this night ball decision goes.”

With Tribe in 1930

Coach Buck Crouse resides In Muncie, Ind., and was a member of the Indianapolis eatching staff in 1930, He played and coached under Leo Miller and Ray Schalk at Buffalo and impressed Miller as an ideal handler of youngsters. Crouse spent several seasons with the Chicago White Sox and managed the Baltimore Internationals part of 1937 and all of 1938. He was succeeded there by Rogers Hornsby and joined Little ‘Rock early in the 1939 season. Transferring to Montgomery in the Southeastern League as mahager, Crouse caught 70 games and kept the team hustling. The Tribe’s new coach will serve as backstop insurance in the event of injuries to the regulars. As 8 matter of fact just one catcher, Roy Easterwood, is listed on the Tribe's present roster. . ;

Their last name is Mascari, and these 16-year-old twins are one of the reasons for the renaissance of interest in track and cross-country at Manual High School. You never think ef these boys separately, but always together like ham and eggs, fair and warmer or white tie and tails. - Although they are built on two small a meld fer football, they seem to be blessed with exeeptionally sturdy legs.

Stress Defense ~ In Purdue Camp

Times Special ; LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 15.— Coach Mal Elward put the Purdue football squad through a vigorous defensive drill yesterday in prepe aration for the encounter with Wisconsin Saturday at Madison. The formations were aimed at stopping George Paskvan, Badger running star. Halfback John Galvin, who saw no action against Northwestern because of pulled muscles in his side, was out for practice but failed to show. his usual speed, and it was expected that Jack Brown would have to play the entire game against the Badgers. Carl Verplank, veteran right guard who was injured before the Santa Clara game, is not expected to play any more this season.

Spaghetti Is Their Dish

These lads don't hold with the theory that runners should eat only lettuce, milk toast and heney and very little of that. They figure a good Italian meal gives you more energy in a long race than some of these fancy diets, and for their size, they admit that their capacity for spaghetti is par for the course. From the Manual point of view. the most- encouraging thing about the Mascaris is that there are so many of them. If the young ones all turn out like the twins, there ought to be a Mascari or two on the South Side school’s track team for the next 18 years. 7g There are 10 boys and one girl in the family nf Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mascari, 948 8.
