JUDGE ALLOWS
SUNDAY BALL

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23.-
Jubilant over the decision of
Judge Edwin O. Lewis, of quarter
sessions court that amateur and
non-professional Sunday baseball
games for which no admission
charges are made are legal, team
managers went forward today
with plans for several games to-
morrow.
The jurist's ruling, cover
ing % typewriter pages,
clarified the sO-called Sunday
blue laws and established
rules for the guidance of both
the police and the players in
regards to games played on
Sunday.
The case grew out of the arrest
of three ball players on charges
of disorderly conduct because
their teams took up a collection
at Sunday game. The three
were dismissed and Judge Lewis
issued his edict regarding the
playing of Sunday ball here be-
cause he held the blue laws were
"inextricably involved"
The so-called blue law is the
act of 1894 governing observance
of the Sabbath has come to be
called here has been dead in
part for 100 years and as prac-
tical matter never was enforce
able" said the judge.
'MOre orderly and wholesome
communities" asserted the
jurist, will be maintained when

WINS
GAME FOR
PULLMAN
BY GARRETT WATERS

It's a pretty good guess that
some of these bali players around
town are wishing by now that
there was no such thing as the
error in baseball.
Harold Harwood, second base
man Of the Calvary Drake nine.
is thinking thoughts of that ma
ture today following his Tniscue
in the tenth inning Of yesterdays
weekday league championship
game with Pullman on the Union
Station diamond.
For Harold, out of a battle
worn sky, took that tenth
inning to throw badly to-
wards home In an effort to
snare Fee COIIiere, Pullman
catcher, driving in from third
with the winning run.
Pullman won the game to
and like the st. Louis Browns
against the Griffmen, came from
behind to win out in the late
innings.
Harwood would not have felt
half SO bad after the game had
he messed up a grounder instead
of throwing wildly. To field .
ball perfectly and then throw it
badly is treason, according to his
feelings. Especially when his
teammate, Pete Ball, had pitched
such an excellent game prior to
that time.
The victory for the Pullmans
made it "a straight for the sea-
son. Also a start in the series
which will in all likelihood never
be stopped.
The CaIvarys began as II

going to favor them in halt

their opponents as they
Jumped on the slants of Babe
CIapper, Pullman mainstay,
for three runs, In the second
inning, driving him from the
mound.
Another off of Eddie Coli
flower, his successor, in the fifth
made it 4 to o and the looks
Of the ball game. Then came
the Pullman dawn.
Pete Ball, who had allowed but
three hits up to the sixth, gave
way for one run in that frame
and followed by granting two
more in the eighth. The score
was tied in the ninth while
Harwood's error spelled the de-
cision in the tenth.
COIIifIOwer, in the mean
! time, was hurting scOreless
ball although hit here and
there. His break applying
shoots kept the Calvarys from
denting the plate after ths
sixth, the innings in which
they would have liked to
score as the game turned out.
Bozy Berger, despite the turn
of affairs for both the better
and worse as the instances Of the
teams were concerned, enjoyed
the afternoon at bat by whack'
ing out four solid blows, one a
homer, another a double and two
others, singles, to lead the two
clubs at bat.

Johnny Farrell was struggling
