SUNDAY BASEBALL
OPPOSED BY CLERGY
Ministers See Little Hope
for Proposed Bill in
House.

Not only from moral standpoint, but
from an economic and artistic point Of
view. the legalizing Of Sunday baseball
in the District Of Columbia is sternly
opposed by Washington ministers.
Arguing that il Is bad enough for the
Nationals 10 not only run the risk of
being defeated six days in the week, but
20 actually lose that number Of times,
and asserting that the players should
not be forced &c suffer ignominy on the
Sabbath and that. furthermore, the
weary athletes Should rest. he District
clergy oppose Representative Coudrey' S
measure.
or the clergy interviewed TO-DAY. but
one who favored Sunday baseball would
permit his name being used. Others. for
various reasons, while they favored the
game on Sunday, would not allow their
names 10 be used as in favor Of the
measure.
See No Benefits.
Briefly, the ministerial opponents of
the measure believe that Sunday base
ball viii not be beneficial to the city
or the people; that it Will draw people
away from their church duties; that it
is degrading on Sunday 10 everyone
connected with it. and that six days
a week is enough Tor the Nationals 90
lose.
on the OF er hand, the single adj
vOcaIe of Sunday baseball who allows
his name TO SC used can see no harm
in the game. The Rev ISnatiuS Fealy,
Of ST. Joseph's Catholic Church can
see no harm in Sunday baseball.
Father IEEatius Fealy. of St. Joseph S
Church, said.

Here's a Way to Save Doc
tor Bills.

1t was an ASSOCIATION of gentlemen,
professional physicians and chemists
all of whom were born in the drug
trade SO to speak, and who have been
connected with it all their lives, who
first gave to the world Castoria which
as every one knows is n pleasant and
effective remedy for the aiIements of
infants and children. 1t has always
been recognized as a meritorious pre-
paration, and it's reward has been tae
greatest popularity ever enjoyed BY
| any remedy ever put upon the mar
ket; attained, not by Aamboyant ad-
vertising or appeals to ignorance or
vulgar prejudice, but by inherent mer-
it. All physicians recommend it,
and many very many, prescribe it.
Many parents call In the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage OF what the physicians told
them when he was FIRST called in con>
sultation. All good family phys,cianp
say: "Give the children Castoria. ;"
Healthy parents know this remedy of
old. for they took it themselves as
children. 1t was more than thirty
years ego that Castoria made place
for itself in the household. 1t bore
the signature of Charles n. Fletcher
then, es it does to day. The sigma
ture is its guarantee. which Is accept
ed in thousands of homes where there
are children.
Much is printed nowadays about
big families. Dr.. Mjl|iam J. McCranp,
OF Omaha, Neb., IL the father OF one
Of these much-read-about families,
Here is what be says:
Gas the father OF thirteen children | !
certainly know something about your
great medicine, and aside from nv |
own family experience have in my |
years OF practice found Castoria
popular and efficient remedy IN al
most every home"
Charles H. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
ohysicians who have the same esteem
or Castoria that DR.. McCrann has.
Not only do these rhyslcians cay they
ise Castoria in their own families, but
hey prescribe it for their patients
FIRST OF all it is q vegetable prepare
ion which assimilates the food and !
egulates the stomach and bowels.
After eating comes sleeping, and Cas-
orla looks out for that too. 1t allays
