THE QUESTION OF
 SUNDAY BASEBALL

Sunday baseball has had its first in inngS on eastern grounds among the big league teams. The eXerin1rnt made at Brooklyn by teams of the Na- tional league raised, q number of ques- tions worth passing mention. The argument of the managers that Sun day baseball is played in Cincinnati is not convincing when applied to New York or Brooklyn. The wide open Sunday of the middle west is not yet an institution Of the city life of the Atlantic seaboHrd, for the theater or the saloon. Public sentiment still clings to puritanical respect for tho Sabbath, if you please to call it this, and the law reflects, in all probability, the wishes of the majority. There IS. on the other hand, some sense in the defense of Manager Hanlon: ''Ihe people of Brooklyn ought to welcome Sunday baseball, as healthy recrea- ton for Sunday afternoon and as a means Of keeping young men out of trouble. In Cincinnati, there is al- ways Il decrease in the number of ar- rests when q game is played. Young men want amusement, and they are better off to find it in place where no liquor is sold
 This has n highly moral sound. but professional baseball mana gers are not in the business as missionaries. and they want Sunday baseball solely because it fattens their gate receipts. This great national pastinle has been put on clean and self-respecting ba- sis after years of fighting against row dyism and elements Of disrepute that foretold ruin if persisted in. The sport-loving public want to see base ball kept lon the level' It was not lon the level' for the managers of the Brooklyn and Boston teams to dodge possible trouble with the law by scll- ing "score cards for Sunday game instead of admission tickets. These f'fake' tickets. were sold at the regular admission rates. seventy-five, fifty and twenty-five cents They were obvious ly trick to prevent evidence being used against the management in case of police action This suggests too un4 pleasantly the lodges of pool-room men and the wlles of policy runners in Taking" their slips to look like stock quotations. It is patent that baseball. well managed, will pay big profits on the investment without Sunday base ball, which is an "extra dividend" Is it going to be worth while to degrade the sport and the players by resorting to such cheap and fiimsy devices as that exhibited in Brooklyn
 Cosmopolitan New York would well come Sunday baseball, in paying pat ronaGe, but so long as the law says no it is beneath what ought to be the dig nifty of the League Magnates'' to re- sort to petty slIbterfuges to gain their point. Sporting News.

BASE BALL NOTES.

There will be lots of boisterous en- tertainment provided by the fact that the fences on the Holyoke grounds can be occasionally reached by bats men.
 Holyoke will not find Hartford like the team of last season. Captain Daly has put lot Of cleverness into the general play of the team in its practice games.
 Old Sleuth Fleming, the old Hart ford favorite, is to be dropped by the Philadelphia Nationals. Fleming is a grand minor leaguer but that's where he stops.
 Dr Reisling is pitching well for To ledo and doing timely hitting. Friends of Reisling say that Pittsburg made Il sad mistake when it allowed the doc tor to sign anywhere else.
 Tansey may eventually get back into the outfield. He is sure catch and covers big plot. In the inneld Gene hasn't had practice enough this year to show just how much he cnn do.
 Odwel, the youngster who is talk ing the place of Harry Dolan in right field for Cincinnati, while the latter is recovering from an injury, made two blunders yesterday that helped St Louis in winning.

 GEO GARDNER
Beats Him Down Tn Six Rounds and Gets Decision
 Referee Of Walcott Bout Tries to Explain.

Chicago, May 3.--Jack Root turned the trick again last night.
 He won his fifth battle from George Gardner at the Waverly Athletic club in decisive style. The bout went the six-round limit. Root had the victory well in hand all through. A big crowd turned out for the fight, and the ex- citement was intense. In the first round 1t was q pretty even thing. Gardner started his regular in-fighting and kept hammering away at Roots wide section throughout the round.
 In the second Root reached Gardner with left to the jaw, staggering the Lowell man. Root maintained his advantage and had wrap on hls wallops at the gong.
 In the third it was pretty even, both being bit careful and Gardner nur quite 80 ready to mix it, he contentlng himself with efforts to wear Root down with body punches.
 The fourth went much the same way. 1t was tame and both men worked cautiously.
 The fifth round proved to be the hummer. Gardner started out vicious ly at Roots body. Root suddenly shot q hard right to Gardner's jaw. flooring him. Gardner pulled himself together slowly and went into clinch He kept Root from following up his ad- vantage throughout the remainder of the round
 The crowd stood up and howled for Root to go in and finish. Root tried but couldn't land finishing blow. Up to this time it seemed to be clearly Roots battle. He started out in the sixth round with q wild effort to knock out his rival. Tn this session both hammered at each other Ike angry stevedores. With thirty seconds to 90 Root almost knocked Gardner down again with Il glancing right to the jaw. Gardner was scoring heavily with jolts to tho body. but they did not feaze the Bohemian The round wound up in as lively fashion as any fight that has been held here in some time. Both men were tired. but seem- ed bent on smashing in some kind of blow to score knockout Neither. however. seemed to. have finishing blow left. At the gong Referee George Stler awarded the bout to Root.

Holyoke. May 3.-The Holyoke base ball team had its annual May day astrile yesterday afternoon and two young men named Tyler and Foxen were the principal sufferers thereby. ] Great things were expected of the ] Tracy K ennedy combination and an even 1000 turned out to see the sport ] Umpire McLachlan announced Voor- hees and Tyler as the principal per formers in the fray and while the pocket edition of Rube Vickers did yeon1an work as boxman Tyler was driven to the bench in the secondI in ming
 Hartford's fnfield played n ragged ga1he and this, with the punching of hits by the home team, made the game secure in the early part of the contest Fofxen was substituted for Tyler in the thfrd and he succeeded in stopping the sltuggers from making many hits until the eighth inning, when he was touch ef up in a lively manner. The big lead secured by Holyoke in the sec 6nd seemed to discourage the Hart l&ords and the infield made some. bad
 fumbles.
 Heinie Batch, who was recalled Afrom Brooklyn, distinguished himself Doth at the bat and in the field, and fhowed that he had not gone back
 from his work of last season, when he was reckoned the best all-around play er in the Connecticut league. Out of k five times up yesterday he made 8 dou- Rbie and two singles.

It was the first chance he has had to speak, as he has been busy lodging angry sports who bet their money on Walcott. "Alcc Greggins," said Duck. ''had no right to jump into the ring and do to me what he did. Greggins give a bum decision once himself, and he got q chance to change it. Nobody jumped into the ring and beat him up.

Ed Tierney was second and Brancas third. Time, 2:0S11a. Ghe track was about two seconds slow.
 The thirtieth running of the Ken lucky Derby, the oldest event of it's kind in the American turf, marked the opening of the spring meeting of the new Louisville Jockey club. A crowd of 1S,000 persons saw the race. The conditions of the race call for entries ! of foals of 1901. three-yearolds dis 1 tance, one mile and quarter; value to the winner, $5,000.
 Proceeds was favorite at post odds of even money, Brancas was second choice at : to l.

 which lasted past the three-quarters and on to the seven ftlrlongs with
