SUNDAY BASEBALL
Is 1t Any Worse than Dominoes OF
Checkers or Playing the Piano.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: What the churches oppose is not
commercial baseball. TO which practically
few go on Sunday. but the scrub games
by amateurs who play for the pure love
OF the sport
Is Il right TO object to a pastime II the
pastIme is as clean and healthy as base
ball. just because II is played on Sunday?
is IL better 10 40 to church and when
the church is over hang around Oh street
corners passing the time away telling cpl
sodes and uslug language that are revolt
ing TO less particular people than |? And
that is what the young men do when they
have nothing else. Wouldn't you rather
have them play baseball than do the
other?
Then again a man working six days a
week should have a right To pass the sew
enth I'm n way he thinks he gets the most
out of Il. especially II he intends to play a
decent game. without any comment or in
reference OF an outsider.
Does an occupation which IS compul-
sorry rest you? Do you enjoy yourself
doing something you are forced 20 do. es
,
II you like church. why. go and enjoy 1t,
but please don't try TO interfere with
somebody else's amusement. Just because
IL doesn't appeal to you.
| cannot understand the antipathy peo-
pie will show 10 baseball on Sunday. Is II
any worse than dominocs or checkers or
playing the piano? There is nothing par
ticularly clevating about dominoes; still,
nobody objects TO them on Sunday. The
game OF baseball, on the other hand. IS a
developer physically and mentally. Quick
thinking Is an adjunct. The eye is
trained: your mind learns to think on the
spur Of the moment. The muscles learn
to obey the will, and the benefit Is all
round and there is something TO keep
the mind busy all the time. spectators as
well as players. and that counts for the
most. WALTER LEHMANN.

SOME CELTIC PHILOSOPHY
EuropeS Debt to Ireland Is Highly
Appraised
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Irishmen are now preparing to cell
citrate the centennial anniversary OF two
OF the greatest figures I'm their history.
on Good Friday in 1914 Brian Boroimhe.
or Born. monarch OF Ireland. was slain at
the battle OF Clontarf. at which for the
twentieth time he routed the Danes. who
had enslaved both France and England.
In 6l5, at the monastery he had founded
at Bobblo. In Italy. died ColLmbanus.
apostle OF France, Switzerland and North
Italy. These two men stand in the front
rank OF lrelands heroes. and few like
them are to be found In any land
II is extraordinary how little, Is known
concerning those Irish travelling schol-
ars who laid the foundations Of modern
civilization throughout Europe. Scholars
and saints they are usually called, but
they were men practised I'm every science
and art OF the age, Sinking no danger
and no form Of labor, and were as much
soldiers, craftsmen, architects, athletes
and engineers as philosophers and as
cetics To us OF this material age they
appear wholly mysterious figures, their
exile for the gaining of the heavenly
land"
Their numbers were as the sands Of
the sea, and the names and works OF
hundreds OF them are on record. Ger
many, France. Poland. Italy. Britain, Ice
land and Austria venerate their memory
almost without knowing it. Innumerable
Scotch are called after Columclle, whom
they have forgotten. More than hun
bred places are called after Irish saints In

Fixed Charles" and Gate Receipts.

The more Mr.. Bryan talks the worse he makes
his case as a chaser of gate receipts. At Mountain
Lake Md, on Thursday he was reported as explain
ing that the $1,000 year which he receives Is SUI
fcent to meet all the expenses in the home and ON
cial life of an ordinary Secretary of state mat
admission was prudent. since Mr.. Bryan does not
care TO appear before Congress In the role OF an al
yocate of larger Cabinet salaries. lie prefers to
consider his own needs as exceptional and TO ask
specjal allowance for himself Secretary of State
ouite ''out Of the ordinary who has not only TO
keen the rent paid and the market basket filled but
also 70 meet certain fixed charges" not connected
with the daily struggle to drive the wolf from the
door.
The average man who accepts public post oil
high distinction and responsibility puts away the
thought of making half job of it. He considers
beforehand whether he can make the salary stretch
far enough TO cover both his daily needs and his
fixed overhead charges, and if he discovers that he
is going to run behind he either surrenders the
office or pockets the loss resulting as an incident OF
the service.
post like the Secretaryship of state does not
owe ANYBODY the chance to make a supplemental
income outside, and the incumbent who beheVes
that it does is literally right In thinking that ne
constitutes an exception in the long line or emil
nent Americans who have been willing to hold the
ranking place in the Cabinet without deSi'airlhg
pangs lest their tenure might involve dollars I'M
pairment of lad-up capital.
In insisting that he must he allowed to 90 out
among the Chautauquas and collect enough gate
receipts 10 make good his fixed charges Mr.. Bryan
has shown himself the canniest Secretary OF State
on record under either the Old Freedom or the New
Freedom.

Where a Rule of Reason Is Needed.

1t is interesting to hear Senator owen Vi
oklahoma. thunder against flibCstering. His zeal
for legislative expedition bears good deal oil re-
sembance to that OF the camp meeting CONVERT
denounclng sin. Mr.. owen has been sinner III
his time since it was he who flibustered success
fully against the first bill admitting Arizona ana
New Mexico and so disguised the Hon. zoe
Bailey that the latter petulanty teegraphed to the
Governor of Texas resignation which ala not
resign.
II NAV not be fair to impute Mr. owens reversal
Of attitude TO the fact that when he was hhDuster
he was in the minority and found hlibustering
convenient weapon, and the further fact That he
now has charge Of the currency measure ana VIII
soon want to put II through under whip and spur
He is doubtless sincere in calling the practice OF
passing laws by physical endurance tests
'hoary reprobate" II is that beyond question:
and any Senator Of open mind, whether III the
minority or the majority, should hesitate to proht
bv setting up the will Of obstructive clique OF
three four or half dozen Senators against the VIII
Of a responsible majority.
A closure rule in the Senate would help greatly
10 restore economy and efficiency in legislative pro
cedure there and to give the sentiment OF the
majority much freer scope than it now has. Mr.
owen deserves support in abandoning rule OF I'M
reason for a rule of reason.

The Lost Art of Bunco Steering.

If is like a voice from the dim past, an item OF
mid Victorian news, to read of Grand Central
Pete" and his demise The king of the bunco
steerers" he was called And he seems to have
been as famous in his day as F. 7. Barnum or the
Centennial.
Why is he Il forgotten name to the present age
and why is the art of which he was so great an
ornament all but extinct? There are several rea-
sons. we suppose. Probably the world has grown
q little wiser for one thing. What with universal
newspapers. and snappy, ready-made suits Tor al
vanced dressers and theatres everywhere anu
movies for ALL the latest ripples in metropolitan
devitry penetrate to the veriest crossroads IN no

the old school in New York to-day? o. Henry has

who actually arrived on Broadway in these latter
DAYS only to be taken for "come-on man, very
crudelv attired Beyond question, the historic vic
tim Of the fashioned bunco steerer Is as dead as
the dodo.
Also. and more important the trickster has moved

obsolete stuff when the noble printing press which

Making a Pittsburgh of New York.

For q narrow obstructive judicial decision, op-
posed TO common sense and progress, we present
the holding by our Court Of Special Sessions that
the city's smoke ordinance is unreasonable and I'M
constitutional.
That ordinance, under which the city has thus far
been mercifully preserved from the sootness oil
Pittsburgh and st. Louis, fatty prohibits dense
smoke" In a suit brought by the authorities
against the Edison Company it was urged by the
defendant that the prohibition was unreasonable
and oppressive" because it lacked reasonable deli
njtons limitations and qualifications and was
such an unreasonable interference with the use OF
priyate property as to constitute taking thereon
without due process Of law" The Court of Special
Sessions has unanimously sustained this argument.
The whole opinion Is an excellent example of the
lengths TO which some New York courts are in
clined to 20 in order TO protect private property
rights against larger community rights. 1t declares
that the ordinance demands the impossible; but
II can surely mean this only in the sense that
..densev smoke is impossible TO avoid without some
expense and care In any other sense the statement
Is too absurd to discuss.
There lies the crux of the whole question Inc
citv,s LEGISLATORS believed and determined that the
name and fame Of being White City was worth
m the community a considerable expense In fuel
and labor The reviewing court utterly ignores the
community benefit and looks only to the burden on
