Young Heitmuller, who played right

VICE=CHANCELL0R REFUSED
TO STOP SUNDAY BALL
Ii the Noise at the Games Continued, the Court
Said, He Would Grant a Restraining
Order Against SkeeterS.

PATERSON, April 16.-Vice-Chancel
lor Stevenson, after a hearing here yes
terday, granted an injunction restrain
ing those attending Sunday baseball
games at the ground of the Jersey City
Eastern League club from making I'M
necessary noise. The vice -chancellor,
in granting the order, said the objec-
ton to Sunday ball playing might be
due to religious belief. and he would
not therefore, grant an injunction
stopping all ball playing on the Sab
bath. If the noise complained of con-
tinued, he said, he would grant such
an injunction.
The partial Injunction was obtained
by owners Of property located near the
Jersey City ball grounds, J.. who COM

planned that the cheering and other
things done by the ball crowd were I'M
necessary and a nuisance. The vice
chancellor, when the case first came up,
told the applicants that he would not
enforce the blue Laws but that he
would protect them from any unneces-
sary nuisance.
Though they rave received many legal
setbacks, the opponents of Sunday
baseball in Jersey City are still actively
working against the sport. The mem
bers of the West Side Protective As
ISOLATION have presented five ~affidavits
to the prosecutor of Hudson county and
say that his answer is due today. If
they obtain no relief from him they in
tend taking the matter to the grand
jury, or even to the governor himself.

able games on record, after a thirteen
inning battle before 10000 frenzied fans
at the Polo Grounds yesterday after

Wilhelm and Ames were the opposing
pitchers, and the pill was all the more
bitter for McGraw and his men gecause
they were whitewashed and only Sc

1t was LennoX, a former Eastern

a timely single. after Lumley had
