CAN'T RUN TEAM
WITHOUT SUNDAY BAsE5ALL
Jersey City Men Will Quit Unless
Games are Allowed on Sunday.

The management of the Jersey City
baseball club Of the Eastern league
has issued a statement. in part as fol-
lows:
Seven years experience has proved
that Jersey City cannot compete with
Baltimore, Buffalo, Rochester, Toronto
or Providence unless it Is allowed to
play Sunday baseball. and If the peo-
pie Of Jersey City want high class
baseball they will have to allow it to
be played on Sunday-in other words,
If you stop Sunday baseball you also
stop weekday baseball. We
ask only the same privilege. that is
given the Public Service CORPORATION,
which operates its cars every Sunday,
or to owners Of automobiles who drive
their cars on Sundays without fear of
dindrance.
The management declared that in
the seven years that professional base
ball has been played in Jersey City
there has been a deficit every year
except in 1908. The Eastern league
schedule for 1909 provides for Sunday
games on the Jersey City grounds.
1t is understood that Mayor H. Otto
Wittpenn and Sheriff James J. Kelly
of Hudson county are in favor of Sun
day baseball.

Manager Bowler of the Northampton
team is in receipt of letter from D.
]. Minahan of Elmira, N. Y who
caught last year on the Vancouver
nine in the Northwestern league ask
ing for a tryout. Manager Bowler
expects to use Robarge as change
catcher but cannot locate him.
In speaking of Harry Noyes, who
captained Hartford last year and is
out for a place with Nashville in, the
Southern league this season, the Nash
Vile Tennesssean offers this comment:
'Noyes the new third base recruit,
isn't near the husky physical PROPOSE
ton that Humpy McElveen displayed
to the Bugville delegation at this cor
ner through the last two seasons. He
is about medium in general makeup,
but from early appearances is a bit
more shifty on his pins. He doesn't
look to have the driving power which
the rugged East Tennessean displayed
and 1t isn't likely that he will prove
McElveen's equal with the old ash fur
niture, but he is booked to cover more
ground than his predecessor.
