TOO LONG BASEBALL SEASON
Bad Weather Creates Havoc With
Many Of the Players.

New York, May 1.-The poor ply
steal condition of many ball players
in the major league caused by the
cold and damp weather has result
ed in an agitation to curtail the play
ing season. Though this season is
but two weeks old the intolerable
weather conditions has caused sew
eral club owners to declare that
there should be radical reform in
the making of schedules. Not only
have players felt i'll effects from the
weather but enthusiasts have stayed
away and gate receipts have suffer
ed Records from the clubs in the
big leagues show that attendance
figures fall below the mark of other
years
The playing form OF the big league
clubs Is also below standard except
in one or two cases. The Philadelphia
National league club and the New
York American league club are play
ing with teams made up almost en-
tirely of substitutes. The latest vic
tim to weather conditions is Ha
Chase, first baseman OF the New
York Americans, who is suffering
from a severe cold and a nervous

American league club on the hospita
list are Cree, Wolter Hartzell ant

The Philadelphia National leagu,

that its own friends scarcely recog

BAN ON CATHOLIC DANCES
Bishop Lillis Of Kansas City Also
Diseouraees Pomp at Funerals

Bishop Lillis Of Kansas City Also
Diseouraees Pomp at Funerals
Kansas City, Mo, April 27.-Catho.
lie pastors within the diocese of Kan
sas City are no longer TO wink at the
declaration against dancing at church
entertainments which was put out
by the council of Baltimore. Bishop
Lillis has issued this rule;
The Bishops permission in writing
is required for the holding Of fairs,
bazaars, and the like, but these gath
erings must not be held on Sundays,
holidays of obligation or on their Wig
lis, or during the seasons of Advent
or Lent. Dancing and intoxicating
drinks are strictly forbidden on these
occasions and under no circumstan-
ces or pretexts is a church or a relig-
ious institution to accept money that
has been made in connection with a
dance at any time.
1t is needless to say that we have
no intention of interfering with any
innocent amusement that our people
may wish to engage in, such as fairs
picnics and socials, even though the
proceeds are to be devoted to some
pious and religious purpose. With
out special permission of the ordin
airy the pastor may allow members
of the sodalities and other parish or
CARNATIONS to hold entertainments
but he or the spiritual director SHOULD
preside at these, and none but mem
bers and their friends should be in
vited to attend.
Dancing at church entertainments
here has been an institution, which
the young and old Catholics of Kan
sas City have liked and many debts
OF churches have been paid through
such entertainments. 1t has beef
decided by the clergy, however, tina
in recent years matters have gone
too far, in that some of the dances
descended almost to a commercial
proposition and money was made by
the sale of liquor.
The Bishop also denounces the lex
travagance, vain display and worldly
spirit so common at funerals" II,
declares that amy funeral that cost
more than 20 per cent of the annua
revenue of the family may fairly b.
called extravagant An excess O
floral tributes partakes of vain dis
play" He thinks cards OF condol
ence, containing promises of prayer
and masses might better be laid Of
the coffin than superfuous flowers
