IN SUNDAY BALL

Minneapolis. Aug. s1.--Minneapolis
got its first touch OF religious service
at professional baseball game yes
terday, when Rev. G. L. Morrill, de-
aivered a short address before the
Minneapolis Kansas City game at
Nicollet park Fully 1000 fans were
in attendance and that part of the
stands which could hear the speaker
listened interestedly while Mr.. Morrill,
spoke. He was introduced by Umpire
King and quiet reigned throughout
the park during the service.
"The west" said Mr.. Morrill,, 'is
never content to be behind the east
in any progressive movement and will
not take back seat when baseball
religious services are considered. For
myself do not usually attend Sunday
games because go every other day
in the week, but this is no reason why
others than myself should not enjoy
the privilege. Live and let live is a
pretty good motto, and / believe that
this crowd is largely made up of men
who have but this one weekly chance
to see the Minneapolis club fight for
the pennanr. believe the only sin
OF Sunday baseball ia for the home
team to lose. so / say to the Mime

IS TUBERCULAR;
WILL NOT MARRY
ACTION OF Mr.. cUDAl4Y is MUCH
PRAISED BY THE STUDENTS
OF DISEASE.

Chicago, Aug. S1.-Edward Cudhay's
refusal to endanger the health of his
prospective bride or expose her to the
contagion OF the tubercular trouble
from which he is said to be suffering,
and his request for a postponement of
the marriage has aroused much in
terest.
Physicians and others who are In
terested in stopping the spread of the
white plague unite in declaring he
has done a wise thing in postponing
his marriage for a yea, in order that
he may be certain of cure before
taking a wife.
DIR. Henry B. Faville, president of the
Chicago tuberculosis institute, praised
Mr.. Cudahy highly for the course he
has pursued.
1T was a wise precaution to take.
and 1t would be well for all persons
who have pathognomic symptoms to
be careful before entering upon the
martial state" he said.
DR.. w. t. Belheld, secretary Of abe
society, in discussing the Cudahy case
said: "Of course, / know nothing
about this individual case. and can not
say whether there would be any actual
danger either to his prospective bride
or their possible progeny IL young Mr.
Cudahy were to marry at this time. but
the thing that strikes me favorably and
forcibly is that he has taken precau.
