Sees Baseball An Indoor Game Soon

CINCINNATI, Dec. 7-t.AP)-— Without batting an eye. a pioneer in the baseball parkfllghtlng business predicted today that within 15 year; the game Aha-l. was born a century ago in cow pasture would 1 be played entlrexy under a roof day

or fllglllr-allﬂ zhe iveaincrlnan could go hang.

“Don't call me a nut," pleaded R_ J. Swackhamcr, illuminating en- gineer ior one o.’ the big electrical companies. "They wanted to turn me over to the slleluli in 1930 when I put in the first baseball lighting system in Des Molnes and said it wouldn't be long before the major leagurs would do it."

“Iniiirect lighting will do it," he .

said. “All these indoor softball teams in the country point the trend."

Ultra-violet lamps and soil heat- ing cables Will take care of the grass growing, Swackhamer comin- ued. Air-conditioning Will keen the tam and players comfortable. He contended that the players, always having perfect conditions for their daily toil, ought to show a lot bet- ter baseball to the customs-rs.

But there ls still the pr hem of putting a roof over something like the Yankee Stadium without pill- ars for the outfielders to run into. ,
