|May Change Game Times to Avoid Rush-Hour Traffic
WASHINGTON, May 22 (U. P.).—Baseball Commissioner K. M. Landis today was considering a proposal to start major league baseball games either earlier or later to avoid ‘turning out fans into the peak rush-hour traffic of late afternoon. The proposal was made to Landis by Director Joseph B. Eastman of the Office of Defense Transportation and was designed to relieve
the load on overburdened transportation facilities in many cities. The plan drew immediate approval of baseball officials here. i President Will i Harridge of the i American league said he was “sure the ball clubs will be glad to co-op-erate.” : Clark Griffith, president of tne Washington Sena ators, said he Landis would be “glad to co-operate with the defense people” and had already given thought to starting home games later than the usual 3:15 p. m. In New York, officials of the Yankees, Dodgers and Giants expressed willingness to go along with any move sanctioned by the major leagues and the ODT. Eastman said that in several cities “the transportation of baseball fans from ball parks to their homes is presenting a serious -problem” because the games end “just about the same time the transit companies are handling their peak rush hour traffic.” He suggested: that Landis “ask the managements of the various ball clubs to sit down with the managers of the transit companies in their home cities for the purpose ‘of studying the possibility of
relieving this condition by some

moderate change in the starting time of the games.” Most major league games start at 3:15 p. m.,, and end between 5 and 6 p. m. Eastman suggested that a change in starting fimes might be “more acceptable to the fans” than the present time because of the shift in working hours brought about by the war. Harridge said the problem would have to be considered individually in each city, but he was sure that “baseball is anxious to do anything it. can in any emergency and we shall be glad to see what can be done to work out a program.”

Home Run King Sold to Toronto
SYRACUSE, N. Y., May 22 (U.P.). —Bill Nagel, Syracuse outfielder, former home run king of the International league, was sold today to Toronto. He will report to the Maple Leafs immediately. Syracuse purchased him from the Philadelphia Phils last spring after he had hit 37 homers for Baltimore in 1940 to lead the league. Nagel hit 13 homers last season for the Chiefs.
He filled a 55-gallon tank full observed :
seven minnows at one “sitting.” A seven and one-half pound bass will munch 10 to 12 of the little fellows with no apparent saturation point. The big fellow also prefers to swallow its bait when it is alive. The kicks of a swallowed minnow could be seen for two and three minutes. ” os 8 '
Roll With Blow
Bass are cannibalisfic and strike at smaller bass with the same eagerness that they use on any minnow. The first lesson a baby bass learns, as in the. case of a prize fighter, is to roll with the blow. Bluegills stay above bass and only venture below in quick darts after food. Bluegills also fight each other fan fashion in short rushes. Redeyes are the same, and crappies, figuring they have enough enemies, leave each other alone. Game fish will strike at a dead minnow time after time because the water swirls keeps it in motion. Bass are the hungriest of the lot and you can teach them to eat even popcorn and hamburger, but they prefer minnows and night crawlers. ” ”
A Vulnerable Spot
The late Bill Cummings, famed race: driver and an avid fisherman, at one time kept a pet catfish in the Allison tank. It was one of, the smarter cats. The cats’ biggest danger is from bass who delight in
