Indications were that the lights . would be placed on the Y. M. C. ’ - A. field, and it is quite possible | that they will be placed there | . within the next three weeks. A | meeting will be held tonight, tu‘ definitely decide whether the | lights will be put up this year | itor not. f Lights can be placed on the i‘ Sield at an estmiated cost of S3OO, - and already S2OO of this amount ~ has been underwritetn by local men. If someone can be secured to underwrite the other §IOO, the lights will be put up this year, and | ~ softball will be played until the{ ‘atter part of September. In event lights are placed nn! the “Y" field, a burlap fence will .be built around the field, mure' _ bleachers built, and other im provements made on the park. ~ Admission of 10 cents each night s planned to be charged, with three games being played. It is not planned to make the _lighted field available to only - players in the Commercial leugue.l _ but to form what is known as . Athens Softball association, withl " several leagues, and all games to’ "be played under lights. At the | %»_'end of the season, the two best “teams would meet in a play-off, - which would greatly increase in terest in the sport in Athens. L. H. Cunningham, physical]| lEector of the Y. M. C. A, is ~the man responsible for startingl the movement to get a lighted f‘ field in Athens. Abe Link, W. R.I - Bedgood, and several other mlt-l . standing men in the city urei * heartily back of the move. i ~ Night games add much to the | " game, and in Atlanta and uthor\ . eities huge crowds attend each)| ¢ game.

Navin of the Detroit Tig . ers Said today that in his opinion baseball “would be the be ~ ginning of the end for the major w 1 es.” | Not only was the president of . the American league leaders firm . in that assertion, but he had sev ~ eral pointed remarks to make about ~ the baseball situation in general. © Speaking specifically of the ma ~ Jors, Navin_remarked that second * division clubs usually are colorless ~ and listless and don’t draw in any § e—night or aay. ¢ “That has been proved time and . again” he said, “and it won't help | Washington or Philadelphia even ©ifit is tried. I would bk aginst at . tempting it.” . He turned in his chair to look out over the field where all seats " have been sold for the Sunday . game with the New York Yankees, “‘ where a crew of workmen hur " riedly fitted together a huge stage . over home plate for an “opera un i der the stars,” playing night stands " at the Tiger park. ;,\;,"e.' _“Why, this night game is base ' bajl's ruination,” he said. “It i changes baseball players from ath £ lees to actors. It's nothing more ”than a spectacle. I certainly would & he aginst it ‘ © “Aside from that” he added, " “Bight baseball fails to develop, " young players. The fielding is dis- | - ferent. The pitching is far differ . ent and, all things considered, the . woung players are handicapped by | the night style of game.” i e Navin said that in his opinion | he night game had not benefitted | @@ he minors and that it hasn’t help- | ffed much at Cincinnati, the only " Major league club to sponsor it. | & “I'm not convinced it is a paying | L propositicn,” he said. “The minors | ;i‘a‘found their Saturday and| crowds have fallen off since| ‘"““"" 2.- started night baseball, When | sou take everything into considera- | he slump of the crowds, fitfchase of equipment and the fact that no young players are be ing developed, there is little that ¢ _be said for it.” ..

In the first three innings, Nixon, pitching for Carrollton, allowed only nine Floridians to bat, and fannéd five.of them.. In the fourth and fifth innings only seven went to bat. Once, in the sixth inning, with two down, West Palm Beach got a pair of singles and a base on balls to load the bases. Then their chance failed when Nixon took an easy fly for the third out. The opener, between Jackson and Birmingham, marked the Ala bamans’ first defeat in 33 games. Kach team sent in three pitchers. For a time play was interrupted by rain. Gus Niarhos, 13-year old Bir mingham catcher backed up both first and third, caught runners off base, questioned umpires on close decisions, and played from one end of the field to the other. He was too small to wear the shinguards furnished him.

Of the 48 re maining St. Louis games, 30 are on the home lot. The Giants’ and Cubs’ programs are about evenly divided. The status of the American league race remained unchanged as the Tigers and Yankees both won handily and remained six games apart.
