LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
SUNDAY BASEBALL.
Justice GaynOr Explains That the Game as
a Business Was Not Before Him.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune
81; read with much surprise the following
in an editorial in your paper:
As matter Of fact. there has been no inter-
ference Tor years with such Sunday pastires as
ne thus COmmends 70 young men who scarcely
have a chance TO see the sun except on the first
day Of the week They are free on Sunday of q
hundred vacant lots where baseball can be
played Win more or less satisfaction. and every
dock along the waterfront is the resort of fisher
men who cheerfully bob for what they seldom
get There is very little that is puritanicaI
ABOUT sunday III New-Hork- The real ques-
ton before Justice Gaynor was whether or not
crowds or persons, most of whom frequent
attendants on weekday ball games should be
permitted TO contribute on Sunday to the profits
Of baseball association without police inter-
ference.
Permit me to say that had no such case be-
fore me. No question of whether the business
OF exhibiting baseball for an entrance charge,
fee or contribution Of any kind is lawful on
Sunday was before me. There was nothing
but a bald Information against three persons
that they played a game of baseball on sun
day; Just that many words and not one more.
There seems to be desire in certain quarters
10 falsely impose on the public Il belief that
the question OF whether exhibitions of baseball
as business may be lawfully given on Sunday
has been decided. No such question was before
the court any more than the question whether
q newspaper may be lawfully published and dis
tributed on sunday and l hope The Tribune
viii correct the false notion which it has helped
10 disseminate. 1t docs not matter what some
newspapers say, but il does matter what The
Tribune says The information before
the court exhibited only the simple matter Of
playing pail on Sunday. which, as your editorial
SAYS mas long been allowed, and may be seen IN
hundreds OF vacant lots throughout the city.
Brooklyn, Nay g. 1904 W. J. GAYNOR-
Justice Gaynors surprising statement should
lead those who know to explain why so much
care has been taken to spread the belief that
the case submitted to him was test case, when,
as now appears. II was nothing OF the sort.
