"As far as I know," Crosley added, "no one intends to put the effect of all-night season to a test. Surely, the Reds have no such intention.

We are content with the seven-night games rule; in fact, we urged that limit when we asked to play night ball." Crosley termed the Reds the "uncertain quantity" of the 1936 National League season, basing the statement on the predominance of young players on the roster. The Reds, youngest team in the majors, average slightly more than 26 years old. OUT OF HAT Swordfish, Snowsquall Win Other Races on the Shrewsbury River Special to The Eagle Long Branch, N.

Rule Which Limits 7 Night Games Per Season Al Butcher Signs Dodger Contract Continued from Page 1 when he gets in a hole, his confidence is now so strong. Al has the essential beef for a pitcher, being 5 feet 11 inches in height and weighing 185 pounds. He appeared in 40 games last season with Galveston, 30 of which were complete contests, winning 24 and losing 11. He worked 317 innings, fanned 142, to lead the league in that feature, issued 106 base on balls and had an earned run average of 2.43 runs per game. Butch had a mid-Summer streak of 11 straight, and also set the pace in shutouts, with seven.

Had Inside Track Butcher is ranked as one of the most promising pitchers to come out of the minors in ten years. Scouts fell over themselves trying to land the pitcher for various major league clubs, lut the Dodgers had the inside track and bought him from the Baltimroe Orioles who had Al out on option with the Buccaneers. The ivory hunters insist that Butcher will stick and they would not be surprised if he became one of the aces of the Dodger staff, The recruit is 25 years old. He was born in Holden, W. in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Connie Mack tried Butcher in 1931, but he lacked control and was so crude that he was turned loose to catch on with York. His next stop was Beckley in the Middle Atlantic League, and he served with Atlanta in 1933. With the Crackers on one occasion he went to the mound in the first inning in a relief role and hurled no-hit ball all the way, but New Orleans had already scored enough to win, 3 to 0. Baltimore bought Butcher at the end of the season and has had him out on option since. Jack Mealy, a veteran catcher with Galveston, cured Al of his wildness and today his control is almost letter perfect.

Wth Butcher in line, only five Dodgers remain unsigned named Van Mungo, Tom Zachary, Johnny Cooney, Jimmy Bucher and Joe Stripp, New Boston Hurler Launched by Flynn Al Blanche, big right-handed recruit pitcher with the Boston Bees, is a proburt of Providence College and the twilight leagues in the Hub sector. He owes his early success to the late Jack Flynn, former Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman and Providence coach, Al, who hails from Somerville, the home town of Shanty Hogan and Danny MacFavden. Joined the Bees last August and got into six games as a relief pitcher, escaping without credit or debit in records. He had an earned run average of 1.59. Blanche is of Italian descent.

While still in college he Deat tne Boston Red Sox in an exhibition game. He has won a decree of bachelor of philosophy, which can neip a pitcher.
