|DUNN IS ACQUITTED
/ ON SUNDAY CHARGE
Blue Law Advocates in BaIti-
more Lose One Point to

BALTIMORE. Nd, April I5.-Sun-
day baseball scored victory over
blue law advocates yesterday when
Jack Dunn, managing owner OF the
Baltimore Internationals. was acquit-
ted In the criminal court on the
technical charge Oh working on Sum
day"
A crowded court room burst into ap-
plause and was silenced by the stern
call OF judge and bailiffs. Then there
was a rush toward the doors to greet
Dunn as he halted In the corridors He
was compelled. to fight his way
through the group of enthusiastic
sportsmen.
Some members of the January
grand jury who refused to indlct
DUNN last week were in the court
room when the verdict was announc-
ed. and they voiced their satisfaction
at the result. m
The jury was out almost an hour.
"Dunnie" made no defense. He ad-
mitted all the facts--that he was
managing owner OF the team and a
game was played at Oriole Park April
20. 1919, with the Athletics. He did
not take his stand on the witness

Welliver with "aliens. Indians. man.

voted ut least once for Warren Ga

longs to the opposite party.
But when IL comes down to real
value in baseball. who cares a snap
for politics? President Harding
proved a sorry flivver on opening day.

raining at $3.50 o'clock, game

Each night, when rain
threatens, the tarpaulin is
