MINISTER'S SECURE INJUNCTION
They Desire to Force the
Case Before the Grand
Jury-No Play Next
Week.
MINISTER'S SECURE INJUNCTION

There was no game yesterday on the
grounds of the Jersey CRY Baseball Club
in Bayonne and several thousand enthus-
lasts who journeyed thither as well as
the players of the two teams-the cham
pions and the Montreals-were greatly
disappointed.
The gates of the grounds were found
locked. and the information was given
out that there would be no game. Not
withstanding this, hundreds waited in the
vicinity still hoping that there would be
a game. The two teams left about three
o'clock.
In view of the fact that Recorder Laz-
arus had discharged the two players ar
rested on Sunday last after their cases
had been referred back to him by Pros
ecutor Speer it had been arranged to
have seyeral-of the players arrested un-
der the Disorderly House act, and in that
way the matter would be referred to the
Grand Jury. The Bayonne Ministers
Association, however, prevented this
plan from being carried out Law
yer Elmer ". Demarest, counsel for
the church people went to Morristown
Saturday afternoon and applied for an
injunction restraining the Jersey City
club from playing yesterday. The appli-
cation was granted and Mr.. Demarest
hurried back to the city and started a
hunt for officials Of the club. Robert
Davis who has large interests in the club
was sought, but the notice was not serv-
ed upon him. until $50 o'clock yesterday
morning at his home. At noon yesterday
similar notice was also served upon
Treasurer Kinkead.
Trolley cars running between Bayonne
and this city carried signs that there
would be game, but the signs were re-
moved at one o'clock in the afternoon.
The writ win be returna'ble one week
from today in the Court of Chancery in
this city. The club win be unable to
play next Sunday.
The game scheduled yesterday between
fhe Baysides and the WilmingtOns was
at Boulevard Park, in Bayonne, and was
pot prevented. The score was z to a.
