Eastern clubs in the Association have for years cast a covetous eye towards the receipts of Sunday games in the West, and at one time there was a serious attempt made to class those days with the Fourth of July and other holidays when the visiting club takes half the receipts instead of the guarantee of $65. It appears now that only two clubs in the West will continue to have Sunday games, and the opportunity is afforded to get enough votes to pull through the old project of a division. The only thing that seems to be in the way is the policy just now of offending Mr. Von der Ahe, whom the League wants so much.
