In Saturdays game the Navy made Il
first downs to the Army's four. when.
according to the dope. they wero in for
an awful beating. Last year the fore

Sunday baseball Is certain.
To forbid Sunday games In New
York now would be one Of the heay-
lest blows the sport ever has received;
Frankly, when the Legislature passed
the Sunday baseball law I was fearful
OF the result. ! feared that the inno-
walton would result in the swarming
Of disorderly crowds to the Polo
Grounds. Instead. It attracted the
best behaved and most orderly crowds
Of the week. The New York public
adapted itself to Sunday games with
out trouble and the testimony OF police
officials Is that playing on Sunday has
been beneficial to law and order. the
number Of arrests decreased and there
was less work for the police to MAIN
tain order.
Aside from bringing the greatest
prosperity the game ever has known,
SUNDAY ball in New York has been a
good thing for the city. There was
little friction In Brooklyn before the
crowds became accustomed to SUNDAY
xames, but that wore away. IN now
