Date	Sunday, May 26, 1889
Text	[dateline Cincinnati 5/25] The Police Commissioners yesterday issued an order to police lieutenants to arrest all violators of the Sunday law to-morrow. They were also instructed to stop Sunday base ball. There is much excitement among saloon keepers, who are at a loss what to do. The Cincinnati club has two games for Sunday. President Stern of the Cincinnati Base Ball club said to-day, when asked what he proposed to do to-morrow if his players were arrested, as proposed by the orders given to the police by the Police Commissioner: “We shall be prepared to give bond and go on with the play. We expect to play both games set for to-morrow with the Louisvilles and to have our usual large attendance. If Sunday games are prohibited I will abandon base ball, as it cannot live without them; there are so many people who cannot attend on any other day.” St. Louis Republic May 26, 1889 [N.B. The games were played.]
