HUGE SUCCESS IN
HISTORIC GETAWAY
John Tener Likes
Sunday Game

John K. Tener, former governor
Of Pennsylvania, now president OF
the National League, is delighted
that Washington is to have Sun
day baseball. and speaks as fol-
lows:
"Glad % see that those in su-
thority fn District Of Columbia
have sanctioned Sunday baseball
Surely, today, in the light Of
world events and the times to
which all signs point, there must
be, as there should be, less and
less restraint placed upon the in
dividual who seeks to be only
that which makes for health and
happiness. believe there is no
better tonic for the wearied mind
or body than the enjoyment Of
Witnessing or participating IN
clean, honest, health-giving sports
on Sunday or at any other time.

By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Sunday baseball is a success in
Washington.
With perfect weather and the
strong Cleveland Indians as the at
traction, 1882 fans paid to Wit
ness the first legalized major league
contest to be played on Sunday in
the Capital Of the United States.
In addition to these were 1000
soldiers and sailors, the guests Of
the club, occupying special seats
erected in front Of the stand and
pavilions. Allowing for 400 or 500
others who saw the game without
charge, it is possible that close to
1900 spectators saw Sunday base
ball ushered into Washington.
President Ban B. Johnson. boss OF
the American League, came all the
way from Chicago to see Washing
ton enjoy itself innocently on a
Sunday. That he was pleased with
everything goes without saying. HIS
smile was contagious after the game.
Best Umpfres Present.
Lest there be the slightest hitch
in this inaugural game, President
johnson detailed here his best UNI
pires. Tommy Connolly, the Oldest
and wisest official in captivity,
worked behind the bat with entire
satisfaction, while in the field was
TIE Beau Brummel. Billy Evans.
The soldier guests OF the club swarmed
upon the field Fully a quarter OF them
Eprawled at fun length on the cool grass
and munched peanuts until the ground
looked like that under a circus tent
And did they root? You bet they did.
Each and every one OF them was pulling
for the Grifmen all the way
The right held pavilion was packed to
capacity Most OF the left field pavilion
was filed, Just bit far out on the end
being vacant. The lower tier OF the
stand was fIled, but a few seats could
be found upstairs. The jury box could
have seated many more colored brethren.
The busiest man in the park was Per
duke Fowler. business manager OF the
GriRs. He had 10 strip on his coat early
IN the day and chase around for change.
Making change for 1000 folks is no idle
dream. Ask Perduke. He slept late this
morning.
Fielder Jones. with the Brownies. saw
the game. Fielder grouched all day

thought his team should have been the
attraction, not the Indians.

Doc Ayers Makes Good.
The first Sunday game ever played
by big league teams in Washington
proved great personal triumph for
Doc Ayers, the HillsvilIe mountain
eer. He turned back the Cleveland
Indians for twelve straight frames
and won out, ! to o.
It was a sweet victory for the big
fellow. walter johnson had been ex-
pected to hurl, but the blonde Kansan
had not recovered from his eighteen
inning victory over the champions
and showed no speed as he warmed
up. So Ayers was chosen by the Ven
cradle Reynsrd
Take him out-' roared the disap-
pointed fans when Ayers was an
nounced to work against Stanley
Coveleskie. Doc hadn't even left the
dugOut then But when the game end
er, Ayers name was on every lip.
He had filled Johnson's shoes most ac-
ceptsbly.
Here's How II Ended.
Here's how the contest ended IN the
last OF the twelfth. Frank Schultz
came up for Ainsmith and beat out a
slow hop to Chapman. Ayers hunted
to Coveleskie, whose peg 70 second
base was wild, giving both runners
their lives. Shotton forced Schultz to
third, but Lavsn's roller to wamby
advanced Ayers TO third and Shotton
70 second.
Up came zeb Milan. Everything
was laid out for him. Two were
down. The big crowd was yelling
and bowling and screaming for a hit
TO bring in Old DR.. Cox from third
base where he loomed up in his slid
ing coat. And Zeb delivered. sIappinE
a clean hit into left field. Ayers
thundered in with the one run and
the big mob Of fans rushed for the
gates.
Fielding il Rocky.
The rockiest kind OF fielding mark
ed the game. Both shortstops seemed
nervous before the huge crowd. Prob
ably the khaki background had some
thing to do with the wild heavfnE. but
Chapman ana Lavan also contributed
several boots on ground balls: but.
even with six errors apiece. no runs
could be counted for either team al
through the long afternoon until the
twelfth
The Indians threatened to score in
the NTH. only TO be foiled. In the
seventh. eleventh and twelfth the Wis
itors had men on second or third with
out being able to get even one across
the pan.
Milan was choked on at the plate
in the third. In the fourth Foster was
on third when Shotton popped to
for the inal out Shotton
roasted ON third in the seventh and
saw Milan fail to score him; but in
the twelfth II was different. Milan
whanged the old apple that time.
