| Text | There will be no Sunday games at the Queens County ball grounds to-morrow, not even at Ridgewood, and to-day’s games with the Kansas City team will be the last appearance of that well managed team in Brooklyn this season. At the close of yesterday’s game Sheriff Goldner, of Queens County, had an interview with Messrs. Byrne and Doyle and informed them that the law against Sunday ball playing in that county would hereafter be strictly enforced, beginning with to-morrow, and he suggested the withdrawal of the Brooklyn Club’s games, which Mr. Byrne promptly acceded to. There has been no desire on the part of the Brooklyn Club’s management to work in opposition to the proper enforcement of the law against all the clubs in Queens County: but as long as other grounds were allowed to be used they wanted to play at Ridgewood. This sudden change of base obliged the hurried arrangement of two games at Washington Park to-day, the first beginning at 2 P.M. promptly and the second within ten minutes after the close of the first contest, to allow time to remark the position lines. Only one admission will be charged for the two games. |
