SUNDAY BASE BALL.
Attitude of the War Department on
the Matter.

The War Department continues to re-
ce;ve protests, mostly from clergymen,
against Sunday base ball playing. the
latest being one in regard to Fort Wayne.
Mich. That case has been disposed of
in the line of the policy heretofore adopt
cd by the Secretary of War. According
TO that decision the best interests of the
service demand that games of the inno-
cent nature of base ball be allowed to Re
played on Sunday by the troops on mill
tary reservations, particularly where
those military reservations are so located
as to permit of the players and specta-
tors being in measure segregated from
contact with the surrounding civil com
munity.
If. however, il be shown that in the
opinion of the authorities of the city of
Detroit II is detrimental to the moral
interests sof that city that people be
allowed access TO the post on Sunday, II
will be proper upon a formal request to
that end l. is held, to deny access to
the reservation to the general public.
Such drastic action, however. is not con-
sidered necessary on the single protest
which mas been received.
