»June 19, 1904: Despite yesterday's ruling by William Gaynor of the Brooklyn Supreme Court prohibiting Sunday baseball, there are no arrests today at Washington Park. Brooklyn should've arrested Giants pitcher Hooks Wiltse, who allows just three hits in collaring the Superbas, 11-0. Next Sunday, however, Brooklyn's battery of Oscar Jones and Fred Jacklitsch, along with a program seller, will be arrested on misdemeanor charges and taken to the police station.
