tempt TO play sunday Dese Dull Ill InlS NlClhlIy'
Manager Ted Sullivan is now trying to find out
how the patrons of Atlantic Park feel on the
subject He has his eye on new field near
the Virginia end of the Long Bridge, easy of
access by both rail and steamboats, and if
proper arrangements can be made it is probable
that ball playing on Sunday will become fea-
ture hereabout. Manager Ted thinks Sunday
games would not affect the everyday atten-
dance at the games. The Athletics, of Phila-
delphia, were warned if they played Sunday
ball it would destroy their patronage. They
played on Sunday, nevertheless, and the at
tendance week days has been larger than ever
The question will be decided this week.
On Sunday last the Washington Club COM
mitted breach of the peace by going over to
Gloucester, n. j., and engaging in contest
with "Mason's Professionals" This team had
already engaged in clubs antagonistc to the
rules of the national agreement, and therefore
the Washingtons in playing them committed
the breach that can only be atoned for by the
imposing of heavy fine and the administering
of severe rebuke. 1t seems rather odd that
Manager Ted Sullivan, who keeps hlmselt SO
we'll posted on everything relating to baseball
affairs, should have allowed himself and club
to be placed in such an awkward position.
Manager Sullivan says he was not aware that
the team was the one that had played against
the Brotherhood teams; if he had been he never
would have played them. President Hewett
says he was totally ignorant of the game and was
very sorry the affair occurred, but does not see
how the committee can refuse to accept Sulll-
vans plea of ignorancein the matter. President
Young comes out flat footed against Sunday
ball playing. He thinks it demoralZng ana
injurious to the welfare of the game Ihe hlgh
standing the League had in the past was III
measure due to their opposition to sunday
games
On Tuesday and Wednesday the Washingtons
and Wimingtons will play at Atlantic Park
Those who imagine the Wilmingtons are weak
organization were never more mistaken. Ihey
contain some very promising players and are
capable of putting up fine game OF pail.
On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the cele
brated Newaris will make their second appear
ance here for the season, and their games will,
no doubt, be witnessed by large crowds, as
they are the most likely opponents 1or chan-
pion honors the Washingtons will have to meet.
Manager Trott who has charge OF the NeWarks,
is the well-known "Babe" Trott, Washington
boy, who made his reputation as member OF
the old National team under the care Oh Nllchael

Manager Sullivan has been trying Bird at

Using player and a credit to the team
1t looks as if Washington was sure winner.
Maloney and Mccoy are picking up in their
work
Deacon Hill played a splendid game at third
on Friday.
The Washingtons are the best base-runners
a team in America to-day.
Whistler is an ideal first -basemen and batter
of the star order. His hit on Friday over left
field fence will not be repeated often this sea-
son.
On account of the rain yesterday the game
scheduled between the Washingtons and VIII
rninu was
tomorrow
From the despatch published below it will be
seen that the League is determined to continue
the battle and will not sacrifice any amount OF
money in order to crush out opposltion TO the
clubs of the national agreement. The silly
story about a transfer to Baltimore is also de-
MED If there is any transferring 1t may be set
down that Detroit will be the successful city.
P1TTsBURG, Pa, May 10.-The directors of
the National League Base Ball Club of this city

proposed to play out their schedule as arranged
last winter.
