Sunday Baseball Reaches Atlanta as Blue Law Fades
Sunday baseball becomes accepted in Atlanta after a municipal ordinance allows Southern association games with part of gate receipts going to charity. The first two Sundays drew near capacity with patrons filling stands and grounds. Ralph McGill notes Atlantans see no sin in Sunday play as crowds near 25,000, while Yankees pitcher Bronca struggles against the Athletics and later settles into exhibition success in New Haven. The Detroit and Washington teams see batting order changes, and Chicago’s old Stanton pavilion, site of major boxing and cycling events, recalls its sporting heyday with stars like Walker and Loughran.

Finishing the Race On the Fairgrounds Track Judges
Henry explains that three placing judges determine each race by watching the finish line from a rear position on steps. They close one eye to avoid angle errors, ensuring accurate results as the horses cross the 16th pole. If opinions differ, the majority wins, making ties impossible. He says this method yields negligible disagreement across thousands of races.
