Better To Be Safe Than Sorry"

is no law to prohibit the pursuance of
Sunday sports and that parade is not
contrary to the law, except its disturb
ance Of religious worship. County At
torney venable stated this morning
that as far as Sunday ball game was
concerned. to prohibit it was not with
in the power of the law and that while
he was not booster Of the game as
played on Sundays, he was also not
opposed to it as 1t furnished clean,
wholesome amusement to the players
and fans.
Managers of the teams in the City
League stated today that it was not
their desire to antagonize the mimic
tiers or church people, and that when
the parade was announced it was not
with the intention Of putting anything
over, that would not meet the approval
OF the church people and Chickasha in
general. simply because there is no
law to prevent it, but with the idea OF
starting the City League schedule with
festivities according to the mandates
of popular custom throughout the
broad realm of sport,
That Sunday was picked for the
opening day, they stated, was practi-
cally imperative, as on week days bus
mess demands the attention of all to
their work, and as the show is being
staged for the benefit of all lovers OF
the game, many OF whom could not be
present on week days, Sunday vac
chosen. Also, that according to the
schedule of games, more games will be
played on week days than on Sundays.
Members of the Chickasha band,
which organization is booked for con-
cert at the park, take the same posi-
tion as the baseball men. A meeting
OF the baseball managers and repre-
,sentatlves OF the band has been called
for tonight to consider the proposition
OF whether or not the parade will be
staged. In all events, the baseball
game and band concert will be staged
at the park, as formerly announced.
