SUNDAY BASEBALL
PROVES Big SUCCESS

Other Games in This City.

John r. Hylan. Mayor OF New York,
signed the Sunday baseball ordinance
last Thursday and It was>up TO the
fans OF the greater city yesterday to
indorse II. Never did New York's pub
lie speak more decisively on any cues
ton than 1t did on the Sunday baseball
topic here yesterday. when 60, 900 per-
soh5 swarmed into the big professional
baseball plnnts in Manhattan and Brook
Ign. On the Polo Grounds the Giants
and Philliee played to a gathering OF
worlds series dlmensions-35, 900 was
the lowest estimate of tho crowd. and
That was made by John =. Foster, Sec
rotary OF the Giants. Over in Ebbets
Field the Dodgers and Braves played to
throng Of $4,000. easily the biggest
gathering that has been in the Flatbush
stadium since the worlds series OF 1916.
Undoubtedly the Board OF Aldermen,
chosen by the electorate OF this extensive
municipality knew the sentiment of the
people when the board passed the Sun
Day ball bill without a dissenting vote.
There never was any doubt that New
York always has desired Sunday base
bail. and now that the fans have had
taste OF II it would take a brave man
TO try TO repeal the law.
Oddly enough the big professional
sk9al attendance. for two OF the semi
pro fields boasted of their record at

huge fences was broken down The
same was true OF Dexter Park, Brook
iyn' only mile from Ebbets Field,
where the attendance broke all former
records. Big crowds also were reported
from Dycisman Oval and the Catholic
Protectory grounds, the only other two
big closed ball parks used by semi
professionals. In all IL Is estimated that
100000 people paid to see ball games
within the city limits yesterday And
year ago many predicted IL would take
years and years for baseball to recover
from the effects OF the war!
From every point Sunday baseball IN
New York must be voted great success.
1t is here to stay. that is certain.
To many the most outstanding feature
or the first games under the new Sun
day baseball law was the splendid be-
