They will open a three-game series at 8 o'clock against the vastly improved West Palm Beach Indians, who have won 13 of their last 20 games. Havana took the final of a three game series.

8-5, last night before the season's largest crowd 4015 and the set, two games to one, and today rested comfortably atop the FIL pile with three full games spare. Last night's triumph behind Tony Lorenzo, who bested Dick Thompson and Oscar DelCalvo, Someone is going to accuse us of having a slightly warped mind in the matter, but night baseball and football still are our pet peeves and we're going to keep on harping on the subject knowing all the while that no one is going to do anything about putting the two sports back out there in the daylight where they can be seen. Mr. Edward G. Barrow, boss man of the New York Yankees forj 25 years, hits on the subject pretty hard in the current issue of Collier's.

He says that if the trend of more and more night ball! games in the major leagues continues that the great American sport! as the nation has known it down through the years will cease to exist, "and become something else." What does Mr. Barrow mean by "and become something; The last time we looked it had already reached that stage. Apparently the man doesn't know what is going: on out in the sticks. -Baseball doesn't need a carnival or a side show to make it more attractive," writes the man who switched Babe Ruth from pitcher to outfielder and helped to change the course of the game, "even though I am going to have to break down and confess that I was guilty of this sort of stuff more than half a century ago. WP'But today baseball doesn't need it.

"I don't like night baseball now and I never did, and there were no lights in the Yankee Stadium until after I left, even if, once again, I have to admit that I helped promote the first night ball game (in Wilmington, in 1896) ever played between professional teams. "My worst fears are being realized now as I see teams scheduling a majority of their home games at night and even, as in the case of the St. Louis Cardinals, playing the opening game of the season under lights. "If this trend isn't reversed, baseball a we have known It will eease to exist and become something else." are: 1 mon. Pictured left to right.

That is another of our pet peeves farm system baseball. "I don't favor the elaborate farm systems, the so-called chain-store baseball, as a means of building winning teams," he writes, "though I have had success with both the farm system and the opposite free enterprise system of buying the player you need when you need him, in the open market. Tou can't win pennants with a farm system alone. The Yankees have won 16 pennants and 12 world championships 14 of those pennants and 10 World Series, while I was actively their head and we didn't do that on a farm system." Here are only a few of the Barrow achievements and innovations since the days in 1888 when he managed a Des Moines, Iowa, town team: tal Honus Wagner.
