SUIT OYER SUNDAY BALL
Politicians Angry and an Editor Ac-
cused of Libel.

II was said in New-Rochelle yesterday that
suit for libel is about to be brought against the
editor of THE New Era Democratic news
paper, because of article which he recently
published against some Republicans of New
York City who held Sunday picnic at Dillon
Park on August %.
At the picnic there a game of baseball be-
tween teams of the Mount Morris Republican
Club and the Republican Club of the 33d
Aldermanic District with Alderman Elias
Goodman umpire. In his next issue Mr.
DOherty. who is very bitter because his
brother-in-Iaw, ex-Mayor Dillon. has nat been
allowed to conduct Sunday ball games at the
park this summer, printed article in which he
insnuated that the promoters of the Republican
picnic had fixed the officials of Westchester
County. and for this reason their game had not
been disturbed
The Republican leaders of the 3lst Assembly
District, who were behind the outing are very
indignant the article especially so because
their guest OF honor for the day was Ernest
Wallace, Deputy Attorney General of New-York
State. DIR. L. /. Feinberg is president of the
club. He denies that there any understand
ing with Westchaster officials regarding the ball
game, and says that the players went ahead
not knowing that ban had been put on Sun
day ball in New Rochelle.
The facts in the case have been laid before
Deputy Attorney General Wallace. and it is said
that he will back the club up in its suit.
