If Detroit uses Eastern time and the remainder of the state goes on ths Central version, a game starting here at 5:30 would be getting under way at 4:30, according to the watches of outstate fans, END INSERT A The Tigers have not yet decided to play the twilight games but they intend to take some action on the matter after June 15. They are postponing their decision until that time because they feel that it would be impractical to play' twilight, games before that date. Only Few Games Planned If they decide to adopt the twilight program the club does not intend to adopt a full twilight schedule.

It will play only a few games, just as some teams now play a limited schedule of night games. The Tigers gave consideration to the twilight program because they believed it would give men employed in defense plants a better opportunity to enjoy baseball. They settled on June 15 as the earliest starting date when they found that many of the defense plants would not be tooled up before that date and thai therefore the employees in those plants would have plenty of time to attend the games in the afternoons.
