Major Leagues Give Free Hand For Night Games
At a joint meeting the American and National leagues allowed clubs to schedule most remaining games under lights with the visiting club's consent and no Sunday night games. The major league agreement was extended to Jan 12, 1946, with committees to study the situation and report at December’s annual meeting. Uncertainty lingered over Commissioner Landis's future, as some owners urged retirement with a successor to be chosen. Washington Senators had previously held a monopoly on after-dark games with 43 nocturnal contests allowed.
