MAY LEGALIZE
SUNDAY GAMES
New York State Boosters Busy
With Plans; Farrell Gives
His Views

New York, Dec. 27.-A bill to have
Sunday baseball by professional clubs
legalized in the State of New
thousands of fans in greater New
York and up the State as well,
will be introduced at the next session
of legislature at Albany and those
who are pushing the measure feel
confident that there it enough pulic
sentiment behind them to get favor
able action. At meeting that was
held in the Waldorf last week a num-
Der of prominent baseball men who
are working for the success of the
movement discussed ways and means
for the campaign to be carried on.
If the bill passes it will mean base
ball on Sunday at the Polo grounds
and at Ebbets field in Brooklyn, not
to mention games in the several cities
of the State which have minor league
clubs. Buffalo, Rochester, Albany,
Syracuse, Troy, Utica, Binghamton,
Elmira and other cities are Interested
in the bill and there is much senti-
ment in all these places for Sunday
games.
Fans Favor Sunday Games
The minor leagues were represent
ed at the meeting here and it was eX-
planned that thousands of upstate
fans would add their voices to the
clamor from the big city for favor
able legislation. John Fl. Farrell, sec
retary, of the National Association
was here representing the minor lea
CUES.
During the greater part of last sea-
son fans from Brooklyn were asked
to express their feelings on the ques-
ton of Sunday Baseball President
Charles II. Ebbets assuring them that
he was perfectly willing to abide by
the decision which this poll would
give The signatures ran between
$4,000 and 100000 and the vote
against Sunday ball was so small that
it might be termed negligible. This
satisfied President Ebbets that the
fans of Brooklyn at least were in
favor of the proposition and he stands
ready TO help them get favorable ac-
ton, just as he declared he would
when the plan of getting signatures
was first put up to him. In other ways
the sentiment has been sounded else
where and it is so strong that leaders
in the movement look for an affirm
ative reply from Albany.
