SUNDAY BASEBALL.

The peace between the two big baseball
leagues seems not unlikely 10 be broken with
considerably less trouble than was found I'm
patching II up. The New-York American club
wants to play Sunday games at RidgewOod
while the Brooklyn club protests that such an
arrangement would violate the terms OF the re-
cent treaty, not because of any considerations
relating 10 the first day OF the week but be-
cause it would be invasion Of territory re
served exclusively to itself in the agreement
No doubt that contention, involving calculations
of prestige and profit, is important to the clubs,
but we do not suppose that it deeply interests
the public The presumption is that the parties
TO the controversy are capable Of settling their
differences, with without the assistance of
the courts, and in the mean time outsiders will
lose no sleep But the larger question of Sun
day baseball, which is thus brought up for dis
cussion. does concern the people of this city.
For 4 number of years the national game If
it is still deserving of that designation was in
exceedingly bad repute, at least in this part of
the country. Quarrelsome and incompetent
management invited all sorts of abuses The
players, not being properly disciplined became
vicious and turbulent. The authority of the
umpires was not maintained, nearly every
game was marked by acts OF violence and In
decency, the quality OF play inevitably declined,
the public grew tired of such proceedings, and
il looked as il the sport might be irretrievably
ruined. That state OF things was unfortunate
on all accounts, for baseball is a good game
and does not naturally tend to produce Incl
dental evils. There is not much gambling
about II, and it is physically beneficial TO spec
tators, for 1t keeps them in the open air and is
wholesomely exhilarating. great many per-
sons who are not enthusiasts themselves were
consequently glad when the managers began
10 recover their senses, agreed to sustain the
unpres in keeping order, and in general under
took TO restore respectable conditions. 1t was
gratifying also TO find that nothing more was
needed to revive public interest and again put
a premium on proficiency and good conduct.
II, however, this revival is going to result in
Sunday games. there will be a somewhat gen.
eral disposition to regret 1t. The prevalent i'm
preston in baseball circles appears to be that
the law if enforced, will prevent the playing
OF baseball on Sunday where an admission fee
IS charged, but that, IL necessary, a change in
may be well founded, but in our opinion an
effort In that direction would be strongly op-
posed, and not in narrow, fanatical spirit Of
hostility TO all relaxations of grim standard
of Sunday observance. II we are not mistaken.
a majority OF the people of New-York have felt
that II was creditable and advantageous 10
preserve in this city conditions contrasting
sharply with those which exist on the first day
OF the week in Chicago. for example. and would

In too many instances of accidents on rail-
roads. both those which occur upon local lines
and upon long distance systems, the policy of
suppressing the information to which the pub
lie is fairly entitled has been enforced more
vigorously in recent years than in former times
The officers in control shut their eyes and seal
their ears to the obvious truth that great deal
OF popular prejudice and hostility is inevitably
aroused against the holders of franchises who
show a disposition constantly TO conceal the
facts. Railroad management ought TO have
nothing to hide after the occurrence Of disas-
ters. It should always be frank. open and
above board.
