T. Mutchler He made this assertion today, in. com menting on the "double-header" played yesterday at the Country Club for En llsted Men, at Rockledge, In face of hip threat of court action. "I have learned the men are put lto motortrucks and hauled to the club to guard civilian crouds attracted by the . Sunday baseball," said Doctor Mutchler. "Furthermore. I have found out most of the soldiers and sailors are against Sun day baseball and want It stopped. They ha,ve said It takes away their holiday. gives them no rest, as they must stand In triicks all the way from the city to the club and then go on guard duty They are being used to attract people to Sunday ball, and where the money goes that Is raised I would like to know. "Commander Payne wrote to me last month and said the purpose of the Sun 1 day games was to furnish clean sport for soldiers and sailors, but I since have learned the thousands of persons attend ing these games are mostly civilians and j that Tiot more than 100 or so enlisted .men ever are present. "I am going to urge the citizens of the district to take court action to stop the Vames. As the club Is out of this county, all I can do Is to advocate legal action to restrain the club from further baseball games Sundays. It Is up to the Mont gomery County churches to act and 1 believe they soon will."
