We are to try Sunday base ball and the first game will be played between the Clevelands and the Mets on Sunday, August 21, at Association Park. The question was decided at a full meeting of the stockholders—there are but seven—held last Monday. The vote was five to two without Jimmie Williams, had he been here it would have been six to two. After that we shall get but two championship Sunday games, viz., with Louisville, Oct. 2, and St. Louis, Oct. 9. But some of the Ohio and International League teams will be brought here for exhibition games. The Euclid avenue entrance to the ground and the bar will be closed on Sundays, and the stands will be doubly policed so that the best of order will be maintained. The wisdom of the move is questionable.
