Claiming that Sunday amateur baseball as ployed la this city has become merely a cover for the illegal aale of liquor, the 1'ivie league will move apainat all games of this sort beginning next week. "The league has not heretofore tried to prevent ttumlay baseball, because it has been a healthful, harmless recreation recrea-tion for men and boys who work hard all the week," aaya'a statement from the1 league atturneyff. "but the league's agenta report that theae Sunday Sun-day games knve degenerated into mere advertisements and feeders for funilsy saloons, and we are therefore obliged to take notice. From our reports it appears ap-pears that the neighborhood saloons do a more flourishing buaincss than the ball fields on Sundays." |
