Midnight Baseball

Twilight baseball has moved a few hours further and become midnight baseball. Experiments conducted at the Athletic Field of the General Electric Company at West Lynn, Mass., demonstrate the practicability of baseball played by artificial light. One hundred flood lights were employed and illuminated the field so completely that industrial teams played a full nine-inning game without inconvenience. National League officials were not inclined to take the report seriously. " The intense brilliance of clustered lights against which the players would have to catch flies will eliminate night baseball as a serious consideration among professional teams."
