Sunday games ignite Major League baser disputes
A wave of press chatter claims President Byrne bans four Big Five members from Sunday games, prompting rebuttals about city ordinances. Cleveland and Chicago clubs discuss a March series in Arkansas and Texas. Brooklyn officials push for higher ground admission rates and a broader ballpark profit model amid a crowded league. Colonel Rogers of Philadelphia denies any major fight over Sunday play, noting the 1895 fall meeting settled the issue and the league will stay harmonious with only schedule tweaks. The piece links broader baseball politics, player movement, and minor league jealousy in a volatile season preview.
