Sailors VIII Not Indulge In Sunday
Sports at Provincetown.

The bluejackets of the Atlantic fleet will
not play base ball, run foot races or en-
gage in any other athletic sports at their
favorite grounds at Provincetown, Mass,
either Sunday or any other day this
summer. and the athletic track and
grounds. which have cost the officers of
the feet SO much money, will be abandoned
and sold in all probability. That Is the
final decision of Rear Admiral Evans, the
Gommander-in-chief of the great feet, and
has just been communicated by him to the
clergymen and selectmen of Provincetown
In letter explaining why he takes such
action. When the sailors bought their
grounds at Provincetown and started their
statute of Massachusetts prohibited any
outdoor sports on Sunday: the boys could
not even play game of ieapfrog without
being liable to arrest That statute was
enacted in 1891, the purpose being to stop
the playing of professional ball for money.
1t has only recently been made known to
the sailors that in scope the law went far
prohibits the playing OF amateur games for
sport alone
When Admiral Evans was made aware
of the fact he felt that there was but one
course for him to pursue. and that was to
obey the law Of the state and stop the Sun
day sports. But convinced, as he is, thai
his sailors must have some relaxation on
not daring to turn them loose in such
small place as Proyincetown, he has de-
cided to make his Sunday Headquarters at
another place outside of Massachusetts,,
and has chosen Rockland. Me-, as that
