SUNDAY
BALL IN
CLEVELAND

which a veto Is not filed.
That mean that Cleveland will be
able to play Sunday ball during the
latter half OF the present season. in
all probability. This Is privilege
OF which the Ohio magnates will I'M
doubtedly avail themselves. No
games have been scheduled for the
Nap park on Sunday, but there VIII
be plenty of postponements which
can be worked in from time to time.
In another year the Maps will be un-
doubtedly playing as regularly, on
Sundays as are the Tigers, Sox and
Browns, the other western clubs OF
the league.
The situation Is OF interest in De-
troit through the fact that many OF
the Sunday games now played at
Bennett park between the Tigers and
the Maps will be staged at the Lake
Erie city 1t will give that large
contingent of Detroiters who have To
limit their baseball to Sundays and
holidays, an opportunity to see a
much greater variety OF opponents.
Cleveland's acquisition to the ranks
of Sunday ball playing cities again
emphasizes the growing disposition
among legislators and public, in favor
Of Sunday games. II Is fact that
| in but few cities has there been any
dissatisfaction with Sunday ball after
IL had been tried. Detroit affords A
fine instance. The crowds at Ben
nett park have been orderly. there
has been no objection on the part OF
even the adjoining property owners.
and the belief has gained ground that
| IL is far more moral to allow the pub
lie of city amusement Of this sort
than to turn It's recreation-seeking
citizens loose on the general run OF
amusement which preceded.
Sunday ball Is generally played
throughout the Southern Michigan
| league. although on the Sundays when
Detroit Is playing at home, many or
the dwellers In the smaller cities
take advantage Of excursions and spe-
cial rates on the railroads, to watch
the big-leaguers at work.
Incidentally, this fact causes lot
of aggravation to the magnates OF the
smaller league. Some OF them are
said to rise early on pleasant Sab.
bath mornings and wend their way
TO the railroad stations, there to
gnash their teeth as their best and
most liberal supporters by the hun
dred take trains to Detroit.
Apparently, to hear Connie Mack
tell Il, no ball player should think or
taking to himself a wife, until the
span OF his years In the game comes
to an end.
Query: When team wins a game
by stealing the signals OF the opposi-
ton. is II a signal victory?
We note that the busy young turf
writer's still make a distinction be-
tween the owner who drives his own
horses and the driver who owns his.
