The Rusk ball team 9ame
down Sunday and defeated
the Alto nines by a score of
12 to 7. The Herald does not
approve of Sunday ball play-
ing in any form, more espe-
cially when the games are
played almost uuder the shad-
ows cast by the churches, and
believes it would be better if
in future the boys, when they
thus desecrate the Sabbath,
they prepare grounds 011 some
vacant lot out of town where
they can yell and howl to
their heart's content without
disturbing any one or inter-
fering with religious worship
that might be in progress at
one of the churches.
