IN ravor OF Sunday baseball, said
Bishop Patrick A. Ludden, Roman
Catholic. today.
al would much prefer that the
young men went TO the baseball
game on Sunday afternoon than that
they hang around the saloons or
stand on the corners and make in
sulting remarks about people that
pass. They get out into the fresh
air: they can abuse the umpire. which
gives them a lot Of fur, amuses the
crowd and does not hurt anyone.
=, consider baseball one Of tile

anyone. Again, the hours for SER
vice are such that baseball game
does moi Interfere with church wor-
ship. The man who has TO work all
week and has no time for recreation
or amusement would be far better
off at Il ball game on Sunday after
noon than hanging around a saloon or
going out TO the dance hall.
