...it is said that Mr. Spaulding has long been in favor of the innovation of Sunday games in the League. All other Sunday amusements are allowed to run wide open in the Windy City. The Chicago Unions last year illustrated the possibilities of Sunday base-ball in Chicago, and Spaulding, no doubt, wants a slice of the profits. The Chicago Unions' week-day games on the home grounds last season did not draw more than a handful of people, but were patronized on the day of rest by crowds numbering from three thousand to four thousand. League championship games would prove a much better drawing card, and it is doubtful whether there would be room enough in the park to accommodate Sunday patrons.
