Three men sat on the entrance step Of a
laundry. 1t was a Thirty-ffth-street laun-
dry, with a high-sounding name painted on
it's dirty windows. It's doors were fast
closed, and no sounds or signs of activity
came from within. The place looked like
a prairie town after the boom was over.
The three men sat huddled lightly to-
gether on the entrance step. They seemed
to nave been dipped once too often i'm the

"bluing'' in it. They wd4e thin, and anx-

he.

Swede, who was sandwiched between the
other two.

There are no footprints of time in the

OGBORN FOR THE BILL.
New Castle Senator Tells Why Ii
Should BE Passed.

Senator Albert ID. Ogborn. OF New Castle,
has come out strongly in favor OF the
bill to give Indianapolis Sunday baseball.
Mr.. Ogborn has been noncommittal as to
his stand on the question. but last night he
made the statement that he strongly favors
the proposition as presented in the bill.
Il have given the matter considerable
thought" said Mr.. Ogborn, because
realized it was question to be looked at
from several points of view. was brought
up in family and in community where
Sunday baseball playing was locked upon
with disfavor and while the influence or
that training is still enduring, nevertheless
i believe that Sunday baseball in city
the size of Indianapolis, where the citizens
are more than usually law-abiding. will
serve to better conditions rather than to
cause disorder.
II am not inclined to look with favor
upon the amendment proposed legalizing
Sunday baseball in cities OF 1000 and over.
Conditions are far different in indianapolis
than in other cities of the State. | hope
the bill in its present form will pass
Il believe in a man being honest with
his own conscience. Mine tells me there is
nothing immoral in Sunday baseball in a
city where order will be rigidy preserved,
and | shall vote the way ii says.
Mr.. Ogborn's position will have weight
with members of the Senate. as he is con-
ceded to be one of the leaders and a man
capable of thinking for himself.
