THE OLD AMERICAN GAME

The sawdust trail is winding westward and Billy Sunday, saver of souls, is on his way. Behind him Sodom's smoke curls lazily skyward while a new city rises from the ashes. The surviving policeman declares himself lost in the new order, for he finds the wheels of authority greased with brotherly love rather than with the customary smooth oil of corruption.

In the Women's Republican Club, slightly charred by the great fire, the city's best and brightest people are meeting hourly to protest the rule of the "nine" in whose hands Billy left the city's virtue and the keys to heaven. The Boston Puritans, a strictly non-commercial ball team, has been organized to combat the menace. But they refuse to play the evangelical boys until they are permanently assured of the repeal of Sunday Baseball.
