Show OVERTIME TILTS THIS YEAR Daylight Saving Law Mainly Responsible Responsi-ble for Two 19-lnning Games Played So Far. Perhaps before the present season ends all records in the major league for lengthy games will bo broken. Already Al-ready there have been two 10-inning draws. , The law which saves an hour of daylight day-light is mainly responsible, for it permits per-mits a game to go along until decided. The Phils and Cardinals started their ID-inning game at 3:30 o'clock and played until eight o'clock. This would have been totally impossible impos-sible in previous years. Chief Umpire Quigley called the game on accovit of darkness at the end of the nineteenth nine-teenth inning. It is rather questionable question-able whether he was justified in calling call-ing the game off. The teams could have battled one or two innings longer and a decision might have been reached, making it unnecessary to replay re-play the game. As it Is the four hours and thirty minutes of desperate play went for naught. |
