Sunday Night Ball Game Canceled By Cardinals Boss
St Louis Cardinals president Fred M Saigh canceled the July 16 Sunday night game with the Brooklyn Dodgers citing a National League rule interpretation by Ford Frick and Louis Carroll. The rule forbids Sunday night games on getaway dates without visiting team consent. The Dodgers said they granted consent to Branch Rickey, but the league maintained no Sunday night games are allowed.
