Yes, up until about 1910 - 1915 most cities in the US still had prohibitions against "playing ball" on a Sunday.

Sunday baseball contests was strictly prohibited in Philadelphia, I believe, well into the 1920's (ref: Blue Laws)

I'd still be interested in knowing more about the game being played there that Sunday in Camp Nelson.
