Mr. Lucas, through Mr. Young, has asked the other League clubs to consent to a temporary waiver of the Sunday law so as to allow the Lucas Club to play exhibition games on Sunday with the Von der Ahe Club during April. A mail vote was taken by Mr. Young and every league club voted in the negative. The matter will, however, be brought up again at the next meeting of the League, as the people of St. Louis are largely in favor of such games, and Mr. Lucas has been requested to use his utmost efforts to induce his League colleagues to give their consent.
