CLUB UNDEC|DED.AS
To SUNDAY PLAYING
Directors Debating AdvisabiIity
of Awaiting Themselves of
the Courts Decision.
BY THOMAS KIRBY.

Immediately upon receipt of the news
that Justice Gould had decided that
baseball on Sunday in Washington was
legal, President Ben Minor, Of the ball
club, put in a long-distance telephone
of a shift in dates with President B. B.
Johnson. of the American League.
Mr. Minor was unable to say what
alterations would be necessary in the
schedule, but was under the impression
that Sundays game would simply mean
the moving up of the game that was
originally set for Monday. This means
that the Washington and Detroit clubs
would be idle on Monday.
Griffith's Mail Heavy.
The board of directors was called, and
at once began tbrashing out the matter
Of the ecsirability of games here on the
first day Of the week. No decision in
the matter is expected until late this
evening. Clark Griffith's mail today
was the heaviest he has ever received
since coming here. While comm Inica-
aseball enthusiasts predominated. there
were numerous protests, most Z them
coming from miniters.
I'VE have maintained the stand at the
outset, that is that IL the games were
legalized and there was a public de-
mand we would play was the way
Griffith explained the position CT the
ball club, when informed by The Times
o fthe courts decision.
1--WE consider ourselves a quasi-public
corporation and are willing to do what
the people want in the matter of the
schedule. We have been guided entirely
by this in all of our deliberations.
"If We do not play we do not think
any Federal League should be allowed
to come here and steal the business we
and our predecessors have been building
up for two or three generations. We are
willing to take our chances in the mat
ter Of drawing, but any time We are
home and do not play neither will any
Federal League team. il We can find any
way to stop it.
Decision Up To Public.
personally. consider baseball on
Sunday or any other day makes for
the uplift of a community. and the
records of law and order in the cities
where 1t is permitted will bear me out
in this statement. But in the final
analysis 1t is up to the people of WASH
fngton. those who have made high-class
baseball a possibility through their CO.
operation. and We will abide by their
decision In this matter.
Sunday baseball might mean quite a
little in the matter OF financial profit
for us. but I'll give you my word, We
are not being guided by that. Now that
the court says Sunday baseball is not
illegal. it's up to the public. That's our
whole position in the case

such a rich crop Of playing talent
Cobb was just showing evidence Of a
brilliant future when he was with
the Sally league team. nine years
ago. Cicotte had been picked Up here
in Detroit, where he had been a sand

Rucker and Engle were also Just be-
ginning to head toward the top ranks.
In the spring OF that season Cicotte
had been taken South with the Tigers.
In part payment for the use OF the
grounds in Augusta, Cfcotte was turned
over to the club here with the under
standing that Detroit was to have the
pick of the Augusta team at the close
of the sally" League season.
Cicotte pitched well enough, but when
picking time came, he actually urged
the Detroit club to choose Cobb. With
batting average Of .326 and record
OF forty stolen bases. Cobb looked like
fine prospect, and the Tigers ac-
uuired his services. Every one knows
how that deal turned out.
