other things that might be stopped Il
better advantage than base bali. The
sentiment is no doubt in favor of it.

right to play base ball as to do many othel

ly in stopping the game as they did.
Hon. A. B. Caliwell-This will be ties

in stopping the game.
I. G.. Dillon-Tbey had a nice, quie
Gro sd and would have done no harm.
Mat. Chew-If the game didn't bother

worse is permitted to 90 on.

orderly one, the arrests causing more con
fusion than the playing.

ought to be bfoken mp.
Lon. Lynch-Sunday ball will come,
suppose, sooner or later.
w. H. Davis-Why arrest the ball club
and permit worse offenses TO 90 unpunish'
ed? Why arrest the League club and lei
the dozen other clubs which play on Sun
day alone? The officers can find many
other offences TO engage their attention.
A. U. Wilson, wouldn't walk across
the street to see game, but l don't SEE
the harm they did.

game next Sunday I'll be one of the audi

tied. Still T've no doubt but the senti
ment OF this community is in favor o
Sunday playing, and ! think it would b.
safe to bet that q game will be played mex
Sunday.
