Special to Timcs-Republlcan.

| Creston, May 15-There is just now
much comment in the city over the adj
vent of Sunday base ball. Last Sun
day the Creston and Mystic clubs
played game here and tho it was
quiet and orderly in the extreme the
ministers of the city took exception
to 1t and in their Sunday evening ser
vice they took vote of the congre-
cations which of course was adverse
to the game. The ministers held
meeting yesterday and determined to
stop the games on Sunday If possible.
They discovered that there was no
state nor city law against 1t and then
appointed committee to wait upon
the members of the athletic associa-
ton and find out their intentions as to
the future in regard to playing on
Sunday. They are to represent to the
association that the sentiment Of the
church going public is opposed to 1t and
request them to discontinue. The as
ISOLATION say that it is Sunday ball or
no ball as the week day crowds do not
pay the expenses of the team. 1t has
arrayed the church people against the
fans and the final outcome of the diff
ference of opinion Is still in doubt.
