Text	There will be no end to Sunday ball-playing this season, and especially in this vicinity. Thus far some half-dozen grounds have been thrown open to the public, with only a barrier a twenty-five cents for them to get away from at the gate, but the people don't mind this even a little bit. They chuck down their quarters as though it were pebbles they were parting with, and it is wonderful to see how the umpires are laying the ministers cold. Not a word from the former's lips is lost, while no one seems to know what the latter is talking about. Six to eight thousand people will attend each baseball ground, while the churches would imagine that the world was coming to an end were they to be flooded in this manner.
