SUNDAY BALL MAY BE LEGAL,
n.: 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
we're charged to the games and that they
we're 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:
thine and again this Court has been
asked for the relief sought herein. and 1t
has been as often refused. IL Is not iiiesal
may become illegal by attendant circum-
stances. 1t is illegal when carried on az a
public sport, AZ, for example, when the
public ii 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 it's ow
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 alarmingly frequent,

CHICAGO, July 3-According to a report
current in political circles to-day, Tom L..
johnson is an aspirant for the Democratic
nomination for President in 1908 and is
going to seek this nomination on plat
form declaring for governmental owner
ship Of transportation lines. This is said
to be the underlying motive Of johnson in
taking so active an interest in the effort to
municipalize the Chicago traction lines.
Mayor Dunno is grooming the Cleveland
man for the Presidency and, it is expected,
hopes to deliver To him the Illinois dele
CATION. The report caused a smile among
the Harrison men, who have well defined
hopes Of securing the Illinois delegation
for Carter H. Harrison.
johnson has been to Chicago twice since
Mayor Dunno took his Office and Dunno
conferred with him once in Cleveland. 1t
was Johnson who blocked the negotiations
with the traction interests for a sale of the
existing lines. He also urged Mayor Dunno
to increase his plans so as to cover $40
mile system instead Of a twelve mile line.
The traction men declare that johnson
wants Chica go to rush into the street rail-
way business without regard to results,
40 as to afford him an example Of municipal
ownership for political purp oses.

He will begin his new work on Oct. |. The

Government to destroy the dangerous
derelict brig Acacia, which is drifting across

light, is likely to be made soon. One
Boston towboat company had contemplated
sending a tug after The derect in the hope
of valuable salvage, but the captain of the
lost fishing vessel, sighting the abandoned
craft, reported that her masts and decks
were gone and that her huh was of little

given up the idea of bringing her in.
The Government has recently equipped
the steamer Lebanon to destroy dangerous

This factis brought out by a com
parison between the statistics in

church bodies, which have been
complied by the Rev. II. K. Car
roll. The whole number of Ro-

are in the Philippines, 1873, ,962

Catholics OF the dependencies IN
a consideration of the compare.
tive strength of the religious de
nominations in the United States.
