SUNDAY BASEBALL IN MASSACHUSETTS
Bill Permitting Sports on Sab-
 bath in Preparation

Worcester, Dec. 24.--What is to be Bill' will be introduced in the Massa- chusetts legislature two weeks hence. It will provide for Sunday baseball, Sunday tennis and Sunday golf be- m. for those who want it.. umt
 As to the passage of a bill permit ting the three sports on Sunday, there seems now to be no question. Ii is merely 0 matter of method, so far as can be judged from sentiment gath cred at the state house. Legislators recognize that the people want Sun day recreation, and when the right bill providing for Sunday recreation comes before them, they will vote for it. .-N ..s .r
 Just what is the right bill? That's question now under consideration. "A m cmbor of the Worcester Park com
 mission has issued a statement on the subject, which in part is as follows:
 As one of the park and rcCrca
 ton commissioners of Worcester, |
 was responsible for the 'tlare-up' in
 Sabbath day sports last spring, for, although father of the municipal
 links in Worcester, I fclt it my duty
 as a com missioner, to sec that those
 boys who wished to- play. baseball on Sunday had a chance, as many of
 their friends were regularly playing
 golf on that day. .r Golf was stopped for one or two
 Sundays on the links about Worces-
 ter, but when it was known, and I
 made the statement, that no com
 plaint would be made by the com missioners and those interested in baseball to the police authorities, play was resumed and continued without interruption throughout the season,
 so there has certainly been no dog in the manager attitude here in our city where the trouble started.
 '"rhe last bill before the legislature flor amateur Sunday baseball under proper restriction after o'clock, no admission fee to be chargcd-~-was only lost by 22 votes: a chance of II votes would have tied it,. and 12 lavotes would have passed it, There trfore I feel sure that if all those duly appointed Go look after tho recrea- !, ton of the public on all the days of the week and those interested in sports and healthy recreation for themselves, their families and their followmen on Sundays as we'll as week days, would pull together sue
 cess should be the result
 A provision of the proposed bill calls for baseball, golf, tennis, sub ject to city or town control, with out a recourse to deception It means
 that a city or town government may decree baseball. tennis or golf permits
 sible between the hours of and 6 o'clock on Sunday.
 That has been adopted substantially { by a dozen or more states. It has
 worked out we'll There has never boon objection made to 1t in such states If it is good enough for states like Rhode Island. New York, Michi-
 gan, Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania,
 it ought to be good enough for Mas sachusctts

PITTSBURGH, May 22.-Great in.
terest in the brewing shares was man
Tested yesterday morning on the
Pittsburgh Exchange. The advance
OF the previous day was maintained
for a short time after the opening, but
the flood of selling orders that came
in caused quite stump from the high
sales. Independent Brewing common
opened at 2 and before the end of the
first hour fell back to 5. From this
price there was a rally to and dur
ing the remainder OF the session the
stock changed hands between 6 and
BIZ, the latter being the final sale.
There were few small lots of the pre-
ferred between 16 and 1215, the sup
ply OF stock for sale being much larg-
or than the buying demand. Pitts
burgh Brewing company opened up
traction at 8, but did not hold. There
were plenty of selling orders and the
stock fell back to TX, where it closed.
Pittsburgh Brewing preferred sold be.
tween 17A and Tx, not much stock
changing hands. There was consid-
cradle trading in Pittsburgh oil and
Gas, but the fluctuations were within
the narrow range of IL and 1914, the
latter being the closing price. There
was decided strength in Manufactur-
ers' Light and Heat, the stock advanc-
ing from 81 to So on small volume
or business. Ohio Fuel Oil made
new high of 81, but later slipped back
TO 30. There was quite lot of San
Egpy traded in at 10 and IL cents. The
Eseice changes in the other quarters of
the market were only fractional.
