This is the promise of the league, which de pends upon the willingness of the Phila delphia Sabbath Association to make an arrest. The association is willing. Its attor ney, Elton J. Buckley, announced that the arrest will be made and promises that it will be by an official of the leatnip. "We cannot Ignore that sort of a challenge," said Mr. Buckley this morn ing . "The arrest will be made." An official of the league, which is a new organization, admitted that a real jrame between two full teams is not a certainty. He doesn't know if enough persons will show up and volunteer to play, and no definite arrangements, other than to secure a diamond on the Belmont plateau, have been made. However, a little thine like that doesn't worry the league. It will choose sides by the time-honored method of grasping a bat. If it hasn't enough players to play a regular game it will stage a game of town ball, or One-Old-Cat, or a representative will throw a ball and catch it himself in order to get arrested. That's all the league wants, an ar rest, and a league official is going to do his best to be arrested. The advertisement of the league, call ing for players, reads: "Base ball players, amateurs and professionals, wanted, who will play hvithout pay to test the Blue Laws in hp hit-ht court. Game to be clayed 2:30 p. m., Sunday, November 2, The Dairy, in Falrmount Park. Positive guarantee none will bo arrested or in any way molested. Constitutional Lib erty League." The league is a new organization, chartered in Quarter Sessions Court about two weeks ngo. Members claim that its roster contains 400 names, and that the organization will take the test case to tho United States Supremo Court if necessary.
