SUNDAY BALL MAY BE LEGAL,
but When IT'S an Advertised Public Sport
1t Is Not.


On the ground that the Ontario Field
Club had not submitted to him any facts
to indicate that the police authorities have
done or contemplate doing anything to
interfere with Sunday baseball games law
fully conducted, Justice Blanchard Of the
Supreme Court refused yesterday to grant
an injunction preventing interference with
the Sunday games OF the club.
The club set up that no admission fees
were charged to the games and that they
were not public exhibitions within the
meaning Of the statute.
The police, in reply to this, asserted
that advertisements Of the games were
published and that admis ion to the grounds
was to be gained only by the purchase of
score cards, for which twenty-five cents
each was charged.
Justice Blanchard in his decision charac-
terizes the score card admission scheme
as "a new knock on an old door" and says:
~Time and again this Court has been
asked for the relief sought herein, and it
has been as often refused 1t is not illegal
PER &c to play baseball on Sunday, but it
may become illegal by attendant circum-
public sport. as, for example. when the
public is invited by advertisement in the
public press or otherwise, and an admis-
sion fee is charged or collected.
"A private club may play baseball or
any other game on Sunday upon its own
grounds and the game may be witnessed
by all In view, provided no admission fee
is charged or collected, and the game is not
advertised and is played in an orderly, quiet
manner, without disturbing the peace OF
the neighborhood or the day.
Attempts to evade the law one way or
another are becoming alafmingly frequent.
and it is the duty Of the courts to sustain
the pol ice force in ali proper acts and to
encour age it to enforce the law

mile system instead Of a twelve mile line.
The traction men declare that johnson

GARFIELD is AFTER cATTLEMEN
"Trust Buster" Turns From Beef Trust
to Critics of His Report.

WASHINGTON, March 2S-Commis-
sioner Garfield, profiting by the crit
isicm that mis- beef trust report has
brought out, mas windened the scope
of his inquiry and will submit another
report to congress on the meat indus
try of the country, that will include
the operations of the cattle raisers
and the sale of beef and food products
by the retailers. Agents are now at
work gathering the data, which will
also include statistics on the hog and
sheep Strengthening branches of the
great packers.
Among those who have denounced
Mr.. Garfield's first report most vio-
lently are the cattlemen. His reply to
this criticism is an investigation of
the cattiemens methods. Another
fact that was disclosed in the original
investigation was the high retail price
of beef. Whether the packers are
alone to blame for this or whether the
retailers taking advantage of the beef
trust cry, have not put up the price for
their profit, is question the commits
sion wants to clear up.
This additional information is ex-
pected to be in hand when congress
meets in the fall and if will ha sinh
mitted along with that part of the
original report withheld at the request
of the department of justice, SO as not
to disclose the evidence it has against
the packers for violations of the anti
trust law. Some of these features of
the report deal with private car trans
portation, refrigerating and such
things.
