The con fusion In tlila particular la attributable to cither one of two thing;, namely. differ ent In Judicial Interpretation of the, law, r the connivance of public officials at will ful violation of the statutes. "In soma states baae ball played on Bun day la expreeely prohibited by statute. Thus, In Indiana, the statute forbids baseball on Sunday for an admission fee. (Bee Stat atralnst Ilogrlever, 1H Ind., 6S2 ) But In spite of the statute, Sunday games are played In many of the cities of the state. In Ohio Supnday base ball Is expressly pro hibited. (Bates Annot. Stat. Bectlon 708a.) And It ha been held under this statute that arrest for it violations may be made on Sunday. (Sea Ex. p. Carrol, 11 Whir. Law Bull, t.) Nevertheless, National league games are played In Cincinnati on Sunday and American league games In Cleveland. Th writer mean American association game In Columbus Instead of American league games In Cleveland), ap parently without a word of protest from any one. These two jurisdiction furnish noteworthy example of willful violation of the statute. . "In some other Jurisdictions Sunday base ball Is made Illegal, not by expreas statu tory provision, but by virtue of Judicial Interpretation of statutes. Thus, In Michi gan, the statute read that no person shall take part In any sport, game or play on the first day of the week." This statute has been conceded to Include bane ball. Be Scougala versus Sweet, 124 Mich, til. wherein It was also held that playing ball on Sunday was 'a breach of the peace under another statute referring to the duty of the sheriff to disperse unlawful assem blage. Similarly, In Nebraska, It ha been held, under a statute providing that If "any person of the age of 14 year or upward hall be found on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, sporting, rioting, quarreling, hunting, fishing or shooting, he or she shall be fined,": etc., that playing baset ball comes within the definition of "sporting." (See State versus O'Rourke, 36 Neh., 614.) This decision was followed and reaffirmed eleven year later, In Seay versus Shrader, 9 Neb., 246, wherein the court aald: "Since the decision was ren dered the legislature has been In regular session no less than six times. It 1 fair to presume that If the law a there an nounced h,ad been offensive to public senti ment, or the Interpretation there put upon It. had been generally regarded a errone ous, It would long since have been changed." Notwithstanding these positive decisions, however, base ball continue to be played on Sunday, both In Michigan and In Nebraska, In Missouri the situation is somewhat different. There the existing atatute Is held not to apply to base ball. The man ner In which this result was reached Is interesting. In the early case of State versu Williams, 36 Mo. App., 641. It was held that the gams of base ball 1 In cluded in the word "or game of any kind" in a statute providing as follows: "Every person who shall be convicted of horse racing, cock fighting or playing at cards or games oC any kind on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, hall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor," etc. The court said: "The statute was not aiming to prevent the doing of things Im moral per se, or the tendency of which Is Immoral, as the Inhibition Is not against gambling or betting on the games, but merejy against doing the act on that day, though it be not Immoral or tending to Immorality. The object of the lawmakers being thu apparent, and the language used to cover that object o apt, would It not b Inexcusable technical refinement for the court to say that the general words 'or games of any kind' did not Include the game of baae ballT la XaUwnal Pastime. "That game Is ssld to have become na tional, and it la well known that In some sections of the country and of this state It attracts vast crowds of people, rivaling lp numbers those which assembled in the am phitheaters of Rome or gathered to wit ness the Olympian games of Greece. It is going farther than we feel at liberty to venture to say that the legislature did not intend to include such a game in the terms of the. statute under consideration." This case, however, was Impliedly overruled In Bt. Louis Agricultural, etc., Assoc. vs. Del ano, 108 Mo., 217, wherein the court, con- """ in aiaiuiu, neia tnat.it did not Include athletic games and sports, say ing: "These prohibitions are evidently lev eled against sports and games that have a demoralising tendency, and do not extend to mere athletic sports." The court further argued that the words "or games of any kind" fell under the rule which prescribes that where general words follow particular ones they are to be construed aa applicable to things or persons of a like nature. , "In ex. p. Neet. 157 Mo., 527. the question came squarely before the supreme court whether the game of base ball was In cluded within the prohibition of the statute. Regarding the statute the court remarked that it had been on the statute books of Missouri in exactly the same worda sine 1K35, and that playing a game of base ball on Sunday (or on any other day) could not have been in th minds of the law-makers when this provision of law was first en. acted, for th very simple reason that such a gams was wholly unknown at that time. The court affirmed the principle laid down In Bt Louis Agricultural Association versus Delano, and disapproved State vs. William. It then proceeded: 'Base ball doe not be long to the same class, kind, species or genus as horse racing, cock fighting or card playing. It is to America what cricket is to England. It la a sport of athletic exer else and Is commonly called a game, but It Is not a gambling game nor productive of Immorality. "In a qualified sense It Is affected by chance, but It Is primarily and properly a gams of aclence, of physical skill, of trained endurance and of natural adaptability to athlstlo skill. It Is a game of uhancs only to the extent that chance or luck may enter Into anything man may do. But when chance or luck Is pitted against skill and science It Is aa fair an Illustration of what will result aa any test that could be ap plied. If the view of the Williams case had been adapted this statute would have boen elastic enough to cover every game that ever was or ever will be Invented, BO matter whether It was harmless, pro motive of physical or mental development, r deleterious to both. It would prevent game of chess, backgammon.

Such construction would have curtailed many of the pleasures of many of our people with out elevating them or Improving their moral tone. Until the lawmaker expreenly provide for such sweeping change In the lives and customs and habits of our peo ple It Is not proper for the court by con struction to impair their natural rights to enjoy those sports or amusements that are neither mala In se nor mala prohibits neither Immoral nor hurtful to body or soul. We, therefore, conclude that there Is no law In this state which prevents playing a game of base ball on Sunday.' Coaasnon la llllavls. "In Illinois, apparently, the only statutes bearing upon the question are paragraphs 438 and 42J of the criminal code, which pro vide a fine for any one who shall disturb the peace of society or of a private family by engaging In any amusement or diversion on Sunday. Evidently it has never oc curred to any one in Illinois that Sunday tase ball games disturb the peace of so ciety, for the practice la common there, and an Inspection of the state reports fall to show any decision In which the question has been passed upon. "In New Tork tha law Is probably In a more confused and perplexing state than In any other Jurisdiction. Section I6G of the penal code prohibits 'all shooting, hunting, fishing, playing, horse racing, gaming or other publlo sports, exercises, pastimes or shows upon the first day of the week, and all noise disturbing thu peace of the day.' The first case con struing this statute in reference to base ball was People against Dennln, So Hun., IZ1, decided in 1885. It wag therein held that three men who were playing ball on private grounds, without making any noise, were not guilty of violation of the statute. The court considered section 268, together with section 9 and 362, relating to Sunday od servance, and said: 'From the three sec tion it is manifest that the thing done must be a serious Interruption of the re pose of the community on Sunday. The thing prohibited must be to a greater or lesser extent public' This decision was criticised In People vs. Moses, 140, N. T., 214. wherein it was aid that the Dennln case was not cor rectly decided. Tha court said: "That play ing ball by several persons In a place open to view of ths people who may be in the vicinity, or who may pass by. Is condemned by the principle which lie at the bottom of the Sunday laws, and Is an act of play ing within the meaning of the statute, can not be doubted.' It Is to be observed, how ever, that the question of base ball playing on Sunday was In issue in the Moses case. In matter of Rupp, 33 N. Y. App. Dlv., 4fiS, decided In 1896. It was held (citing People v. Moses) that ball playing on Sunday la a misdemeanor and that an arrest there for may be made without warrant. Police Abovo Law. In People ex rel, Bedell vs. Mott, 8S Misc. (N. T.), in, decided In 1902, Judge Gaynor followed People vs. Dennln, de claring that It was not overruled by People vs. Moses, and held ball playing on Sunday was not a crime when It did not amount to an Interruption of the repose and religious liberty of the community. In 1894 the ques tion again came before Judge Gaynor, at supreme court chambers, in the case of People ex rel, Poole vs. Hesterberg, 41 Misc., 610. The case was a habeas corpus proceeding to test the legality of certain arrests for playing ball on Sunday. The learned Justice adhered to his decision in ths Bedell case and handed down an opin ion which is so remarkable In many partic ulars that we feel Justified In quoting from it at some length. He said: 'No complaint was made In the present case by any cltl sen that the repose and religious liberty of the community or himself were interrupted. The arrests were voluntarily made by the police and the information Is sworn to by a captain of police only. He does not air lege that the repose and religious liberty of the community were Interrupted. Hi action seems to be In defiance of the de- lsions of our courts. He sets himself above the lew, a thing grown very common with the police In this city of late years and of which there seems no sign of abate ment by those who control. the police. Mr I and women are being arrested dally on charges which the courts have decided over and over again do not constitute any crim inal offense. It cannot be too often said to those who rule the police that our gov ernment, like all free governments, is a government of laws and not of men. Those who turn it Into one of .men and not of laws are more dangerous to society than any other class of lawbreakers, .or all other lawbreakera combined. They would destroy our system of government and substitute one of arbitrary power and unlawful force. Ten years ago the police of the city of Brooklyn took it upon them selves to chase, club and look up all boys and men found playing ball on Sunday In the outsklrta and remote place of the city, while many shows and places of evil resort were open, and tralnloads of people were being carried by to them; but on the protest of cltlxena they were stopped in their course by a police commlsaloner who came to understand the limitations of his powers and duty, and of those unAr him, under a free government such as ours. Since then ball playing and golf playing on Sunday have been unmolested here. It would seem that we are now on the eve of another similar movement by the police. for such movements come periodically, and for no reason whatever other than mere offlclousness. Police Meddle "There are many minor offenses which should be left for redress to the coming forward of private accusers before the magistrates or other authorities, aa our laws and the procedure of our courts con template. The accusatory method of en forcing the criminal laws I open to every clttxen. The community can take care of Itself in uch matter without any police meddling. Base ball and golf and other Innocent and healthful games are being played everywhere outside of the city on Sunday without being meddled with by constables or policemen. Such meddling is practically unknown in this city, where, of all places, w should have humane, sensible and Intelligent government. The general sentiment of the community haa to be con sulted in respect of the enforcement of certain laws, and alwaya has been In the Anglo-Saxon world as well aa elsewhere until recently In the city of New York. It Is a maxim of tha law that you can not indict a whole community. The Anglo Saxon sheds statutes which grow obsolete and obnoxious the same as a snake sheds Its skin. He has seldom bothered to re peal them, aa every one acquainted with the history of laws very well knows. No cltlsen sny longer makes a complaint un der them, and thus they become dead letter laws. It is not the business of the police to revive them. They are not era ployed and paid by the cltlsen for any such purpose. "a month later Justice Gaynor held In smith? case that a public game of baae ball, I. . a game to which the publlo la Invited ard to which an admission fee is charged. Is within the Inhibition of the statu'. He said: The prohibition ia only agaii) yuuiw giunes ana exercises, uaneiy.

"In Dunham vs. Blnghamton, etc., Aaso., 44 Misc. (N. Y ). 112. Justice Forbes, at ringhantton, refused to dissolve sn Injunc tion secured by property owners against the playing of ball on Sunday oa certain premises, declining, however,, to pas upon the merits of the question. A Coatradletlea. "This, then. Is the situation in New York state: We have sn obiter dictum by the court of appeals that Sunday base ball Is Illegal, but we hay a positive declaration by the supreme court, not yet overruled, that Sundsy base ball is not Illegal except when an admission fee la charged to wit ness the game, or when the public peace Is unduly disturbed. This contrariety of views I largely responsible for the fact that base ball Is played on Sunday in some parts of the state and not In other. The magis trate before whom the cases of alleged violation of the law come for decision are at liberty, to adopt either view, or to de clare, a haa been done In soma cases, that the question Is too unsettled to warrant them In rendering any decision whstever. it may be said that If tha Missouri argu ment as to legislative Intent haa any fore It is fully applicable to New York state. As far back as the New York Revised Statutes of 1828 we find tha following pro hibition: 'There shall be no shooting, hunt ing, fishing, sporting, playing, horse rac ing, gaming, frequenting of tipping houses or any unlawful exercises or pastimes on the first day of th week, called Sunday.' Base ball was then not known, but when the penal coda was enacted in 1881 profes sional baae ball had been played for sev eral years. Ths legislature, however, merely reworded the section, without any change evidencing an Intention specifically to Include base ball. "In closing. It may be well to add a word as to the validity of Sunday base ball leg islation. Statutes which expressly pro hibit the game, or which so result by Judi cial decision, have been uniformly upheld against constitutional objections. (Se State vs. Hogrlever, 162 Ind., 662; State va O'Rourke, 63 Neb., 614; State vs. Powell, 68 Ohio St., S24). If it Is a valid exercise of legislative power to prohibit the playing of base ball on Sunday, It Is, of course, per fectly possible for legislatures to permit the sport with well-defined limitation and restrictions."
