New York, May '2-Sunday baseball
III New York is now a reality. The
long fight to give this METROPOLIS the
privilege of enjoying a baseball con-
test on the first day Of the week was
crowned with success yesterday. when
Mayor Hylan signed the Sunday base
ball ordinance which was passed
unanimously by the board of alder
men last Tuesday,
The ordinance permits the pIa,ving
of Sunday professional baseball after
o'clock in the afternoon The ordi-
nance further provides that ball cIubs
operating in the city may not raise
their prices for Sunday games over
the scale of admission charged on
week days.
advantage of the ordinance. Next
and Brooklyn Boston National league
contests which were prevented by rain
yesterday will be played Off When
ever it is possible these Sunday open
dates will be used to play off post
ponem ents, as John Heydler, presi-
dent of the National league, wishes to
discourage the practice of playing
double headers.
Heydler's idea is to move up games
from the bottom of the schedule. In
the meantime if games are prevented
by rain they will be played on dates
made vacant through the shifting of
contests for Sundays. In this way it
will not be necessary to resort to
double headers.

TURKS ARE STILL SAVAGES

Viscount James Bryce in New Armenia.
One fact stands out clearly. Turkish
rule over populations of different
faith must cease forever to exist. The
Turkish government has been the very
worst which has afflicted humanity
during the last Is centuries. The
Turks have always been what dis
tinguished European historian called
them-"nothing better than a band OF
robbers in territories which they have
conquered and devastated" They have
never become civilized. they have never
imbibed or tried to apply any of the
principles on which civilized govern
ment must be conducted.
So far from progressing with the
progress of the years. they have gone
from bad to worse. Savages they were
when they descended into Western
Asia from the plains of Turkestan. saw
ages they were when Edmund Burke
so described them 1870 years ago, and
their government still retains its saw
age and merciless character.

Commission Entitled
To Commentator

a DVOCATES of law and order
IA admire the city commission for
its quick attention to recent COM
plants and its immediate remedying
of situation which was a reflection
upon this community.
1t took courage to announce a
change in the method of law enforce
ment by condemning unlawful search,
because, unfortunately, there are
some whose attention is so concen-
trated upon enforcement of one
statute that the mere disobedience Of
another statute in upholding their ia
vorite is considered small matter.
But Birmingham's commission took
the broad and proper view that all
laws must be enforced equally and
that officers themselves must strictly
obey all laws in the performance Of
their duties. 1t was the right attitude
for the commissioners to take and the
members of that body have behind
them the great mass of law-abiding
citizens of this city in their stand.

ROOSEVELTS FAMOUS RIDE
From Physical Culture.

From Physical Culture.
n DMIRAL CARY T. GRAYSON,
~ physical and naval aid to Presi-
q - dent Wilson, recounts in an inter-
view reported by Richard NJ. Winans the
story of his famous ride with Colonel
Roosevelt.
"It was in the winter Of 1soS-1so9 that
President Roosevelt resolved to employ
some effective measures for wedding out
the physically unfit in the army. Horse
back riding had been so much of the
colorel's life that he recognized its pos
sibIities in determining physical fitness. so
that, although walking and bicycle rid
ing were included, the major test was
based on horseback ride of 80 miles, to
be covered in relays of 30 each for three
consecutive days
Roosevelt asked ne II it were rea-
sonable test for physical qualification.
told him that if any officer could not
ride 80 miles day for three days in sue
oession, he was unfit for duty.
Immediately afterwards Roosevelt is
sued a presidential order calling upon ali
military officers to submit themselves to
this test There followed near riot
among a certain over-fed under-exer-
ciseG class of officers as well as a frantic
storm Of protest which found its way
| into print Under front page headlines.
'It was an impossible order, they COM
planned. 1t couldn't be done. 1t was poll
tics; a personal score against individu-
ais; a game to create vacancies to ad-
vance favorites; piece of,sharp practice;
| a revolutionary hersey. Also, it was little
less than cruelty to animals and undenia-
blv some horses were doomed to suffer
burdens beyond their capacity. Lastly,
they said that Roosevelt himself could
not undergo the test.
1T is not of record that Roosevelt ever
failed to accept challenge. But he was
then a very busy man, and SO he decided
to do the job all in one day and be done
with it. He sent for me one evening and
asked that take the trip with him.

Coffin

Coffin
From the New York Evening Sun.
The sentence of death imposed upon the
anarchist Coffin, who recently attempted
to kill Premier Georges Clemenceau, will
meet with the approval of all who be-
leve in the preservation of law and Or
der. Coffin is typical of a dangerous class
of fanatics, fostered by parlor boishe-
yiks and theorists who are the avoweo
enemies of the social order. Their weak
and disordered brains, powerless by logic
and reason to shake the fabric which
they neither respect nor understand,
turn to the assasin's bullet for the accom-
plishment of their designs.
According to the official record OF the
court Coffin had no reason to complain
Of his place in the social order, for he
had shown himself capable OF earning
So q a day. yet, finding society badly
organized. he was DESTROYS of destroying
everything." This sentence gives us the
whole thing in a nutshell. For many cen
turtles the worlds profoundest thinkers
Aristotle, Justinian, Adam Smith, Locket'
Montesquieu-have found society badly
organized, but this did not make them
seek to destroy everything Even
avowed iconoclasts like Voltaire. have
differentiated between the good and the
bad in the existing order, and have con-
fined their attacks to the parts that are
unhealthy and diseased. These great men
have sought not to destroy. but to i'm
prove the existing fabric.
The anarchist is like man ABOARD
ship at sea who, because he does not
like the design of the vessel, or perhaps
is dissatisfied with his stateroom, "ouio
put a bomb in the hold and send IL &c
the bottom. He does not stop to CONSIDER
that he is equally involved with his feiiow
passengers in the consequences OF his act
and with them is engulfed in the genera
jcatastrophe. The ship Of society must

Cottins must be rendered poweriess Tor

Of Cleveland's Official
Family Four Survive

THURSDAYS celebration of the
u eighty-second anniversary of
the birth of Grover Cleveland brings
to mind the fact that only four of the
men who served in either of his cabi-
nets survive. The number who had
belonged to his official family, all
told, was twenty-three.
All who served in his first admins
tration have passed away, except
Charles S. Fairchild, Secretary of the
Treasury; but of those who had seats
at the cabinet table in Cleveland's Sec
ond administration, Judson Harmon,
Attorney General; Hoke Smith, Secre-
tary of the Interior, and David R.
Francis, who succeeded Smith in the
interior department, are still alive
and active in public affairs-Francis
in diplomatic service and Smith in the
United States Senate.

Cleveland's supporters and who shared

pendoble mounts, heading south into Vir-
ginia. The day broke with disagreeable
compound of drizzling rain, sleet and
snow, accompanied by chill wind that
crept into the very crevices of mans

Welt not only did not complain but ap-
parently gave no heed to it. He just
pulled the broad brim of his sombrero
down about his eyes and drove steadily
ahead, our horses splashing water and
mud over each other by the hatful as
we ploughed through puddles and miry
stretches Of road that made the going
next to impossible. Certainly no man
would have selected such a day or road
for anything less than a case Of life and
death. However, in spite of the worst
of it, Roosevelt seemingly enjoyed it more
perhaps because he was fighting against
odds.
"Thus we covered the 50 miles to War
renton, Va, where we had a midday
meal and started on the return trip.

"The nature Of the storm may be
judged by the fact that when we returned
to the White House, Roosevelt took of

from out the shell Of ice, which left it q
perfect replica Of his head-gear-a hat
of ice, which he displayed with q due
sense Of pride as a souvenir Of a three
days task done in ono, and that day
