Mr.. BATTER: Mr.. President: !
tabled this bill because thought its
| provisions too sweeping. It makes, Il
unlawful to hold any carnival, .cirGas,
CIRCUS parade, ball game, horse racing.
! or any other sporting entertainment in
public on. that day., / do not wish TO
do anything to detract from the sacpd-
ness of Memorial day. but when it is
undertaken to prevent a ball game, it
seems to me it is going too far. 1T
does not restrict the matter to q ball
game played where admission is charg-
| ed, but applies to any ball game. I
| think the measure iss,t too drastic, and
move that it be indefinitely postponed
Mr.. GOWELL of York: Mr. Presi-
dent: Il think there is more or less
merit in this bill, and the objection
raised by the senator from Cumberland
mign, be cured by an aPendmeat, and

/ senator's that the matter be tabled and
| specially assigned. "
| Mr.. BAXTER: If the senator from
York will make an amendment so that
| smalPboys can play baseball on Me
mortal day or indulge in other harm
| less sports. shall ne glad to favor
| the bill, but think it too sweeping as
| it is.
