While there are doubtless many people
In Owosso who would condemn aud pass
over Sunday base ball playing especially
when it Is outside the city limits, yet 1t
must be admitted that the vast majority of
the better class not only do not approve of
1t, but need only to have stheir attention
called to it to heartily disappr0ve Of 1t.
The fact that there was game of base ball
played in the Corunna road ball park last
Sunday Is not a credit to anyone, and to say
the least has shocked the moral seusibilites
of more than one Owosso and Shiawassee
county citizen. But leaving this question
entirely out of consideration 1t still remains
q fact that such exhibitions are violations
Of state law, aud why officers should
have the privilege of overlooking the viola.
ion of one law any more than another is
not exactly clear.

Rev. John Sweet has made his presence
In Shawassee county felt by the county's
chief executive. Sheriff Sceugale, In a way
which the latter seems to regard as uncalled
for and damaging to his good name. The
way in which the sheriff wa, aroused to a.
consciousness of the reverend doater's pres
ence was by an open letter addressed by the
latter to the sheriff and published in the
Wednesday issue Of the two dailies. The
letter was, to say the least, a stingiag rebuke
10 the sheriff for his failure to prevent the
game OF base ball which was played last
Sunday In the ball park between Owosso
sad Corunua on the line of the street rail-
way. The sheriff took exceptions to the
treatment accorded him by DIR. Sweet and
has begun a,suit for $4,000 damages. The
law of libel is fsarfully and wonderfully
made and 10 Is not by any means certain that
kl,a aharim has aiaar aaaa TIE aru. N, -,
