The Pros held their meeting in the town dance hall, where the police force of National Park was holding n dnncc to raise funds; the Antls held theirs in the Methodist Kplscopal church. The Pros had an attendance of 000. The Antls had thirty men nnd women In nttendancc. The Pros had three members of council J so tllfl the Antls, but the Sun day baseball enthuslnsts got the edge by the attendance of Mnyor Edgar Waters. The Pros listened to speeches and 1ft it go nt that; the Antis got busy, ap pointed n committee, and agreed to take legal action within the week. All was peace and music nt the dance hall meeting, but the Antis threw three people )iit for not agreeing with their ideas. No decision was rendered, but, to an outsider, it looked like n draw. The meeting of those In favor of Sliudny baseball was presided over by Borough Marshal Harry "Woldon. Speeches were made by Mnyor Wnters and by Councllmen .Inekson nnd Dicks. All three officials declared that they would support Sunday ball provided it was the .desire of the majority of the inhabitants of Nntionnl Park.

One of the three, n young mnn whose brother ploys on the Nntionnl Pnrk team, got up nnd went out; the other two, a man nnu wife, were told to leave.
