Sunday baseball is against the law
Mr.. Kratz said, because it disturbs
the peace and quietude of Sunday and
some action to abate it may be taken.
I am for law enforcement, and l be-
should be obeyed or taken from the
books The case last year went to
the supreme court and it held nothing
could be done until the status of base
ball was defined. The court also held
the people had grievance and were
entitled to relief. and it also held That
all parties had a limited question In
the lower court. it being limited to
whether baseball as such played on
Sunday was violation of the law.
"As matter of fact the complain :
ants, while they included that ques-
ton, protested against games in the
ball park on Sunday because they dis
turbed the peace and quietude OF the
families living in that section of the
city and breach of peace under the
law. Both the lower and upper courts
practically held we had made out our
case, but had, limited it to one issue
and could not enlarge on ii, If the
case is filed again we will raise the
same questions we did before. but We
will enlarge on them and make them
