Third: Sunday baseball in this in—
stance was most deteInIined to violate
law. No action was taken by any or
the ministeIe until through one of
number they had conversed
personally with-the manager of the
team. who stated that it,was1 the pur-
”hm to play on Sunday. He was re-
d sated to consider the seriousness of
the ‘matter. and the necessity that
would be upon the citizens to protest,
and stated that he would give the mnlr
tor further thought. The next day a
formal protest was made to him, to
the sherill and the prosecuting attor-
ney, hoping that in view of the ex-
pressed opposition and the clear state’
ment or the law. the agreement to
play would be withdrawn. But the
manager stated that it was determined
to proteed with the game unless the
Iiirettors should order otherwise. The
protests were not till then published
in the papers The governor of the
state was communicated with and the
sheriff interviewed over the telephone.
it was not until those mcasutes weir.
adopted that the game was called off.
and even then it was sluttul that the
only reason for withdrawal was the
lnubiiliy‘ to senile the livid. This it
it expresses the sentiment of the play
era was clear defiance of plain law.
Such a spirit can only be demoralizing
in a tree republic. Previous. however.
10 the published statement over the
name or the manager, We are informed
that he made ‘a statement over his own
signature to the effect that respect for
law and public sentiment was a mow
log influence in the abandonment of
the game, We are find to believe that
this letter more truly expressed the
rscntiment .ot the. manager and the
team than‘that in the Iiewspapen
The conclusion we real-h is that tho
agitation will be highly beneficial to
the community: it will stimulate lur-
Iber attention to law violation. and if
our friends who built: pointed out our
inconsistencies are themselves consist-
ent. we shall receive their aid in our
further attrinpts.t.0 prevent lawless-
ness. Many people who had no opin-
ion on moral questionehave been com-
pelled to take sides, while a sadly
muddled condition of mind on the part
of many has bean revealed. One truth
the common sense of the mmmuuity
has doubtless once more appreciated
and that is that indulgence in person-
alities and the exhibition of preju-
dice which perhaps our sorry municipal
history has taught us. is not conducive
either to clear statement or sound or-
gument.
