LITTLE SUNDAY BALL.
American Leagu Clubs Will Play

CHICAGO. Dec. 2-But two American
League cities will nave Sunday ball next
season and Only on the grounds of these
same cities-Chicago and st. Louisville
the sale of liquor be allowed. This policy
was announced by President Johnson to-
night and the statement explodes the
rumor to the effect that the johnson forces
were to play on Sundays in Weehawken
or other New York suburbs, and in addi-
ton shows that there will be no further
attempt to play on the Sabbath at Detroit
and Cleveland.
According to the terms of our lease for
the new park in New York we cannot give
Sunday exhibitions nor sell liquor on the
premises" said President Johnson This,
of course, gives no chance as far as New
York is concerned, as we will not invade
the suburbs there. The laws forbid Sunday
ball in Cleveland, and the playing of Sun
day games at Burnss Park in Detroit has
not been satisfactory. Hence the changes
