"The opinion holds that chaor ter of the laws of 1935 which attempts to empower municipal corporations and counties to li cense ana tax pin nan games, dart games and other game of like character involving an element of skill; insofar as marble boards, pin ball games and other games of like character as concerned is unconstitutional. "It now becomes the duty of every district attorney and law enforcement officer of the state to atop the use and operation of any pin ball or marble board game or devise of like character. and there does not exist an yex- Ctte for any such officers to fail to do their doty and put a stop to the operation of these de- rices." - Skill Claim Strains ; Credulity.

Justice Belt continued. ."In . our opinion, a scheme or device may constitute a j.ottery -. even though it does not amount to a 'wide-spread' pestilence. "It is well known, that Chinese lotteries are sometimes operated , behind barred doors and ' only thse persona are admitted, who pass the eagle-eye scrutiny of the lookout man.

The Bearcats, only slightly less proficient tonight at the gridiron tactics on the maple floor, lei fly 4 S times : and converted ten of the shots into field goals. Eberly and Anton, alternating at the pivot position, paced the champs with eight points each, but it was Walt Weaver, .Maple's dependable back-court star, who turned in the best floor game of the evening.' Eighteen of the 40 personals detected by Coleman were charged to the Bearcats, with Eberly the lone member of the nine who saw action to be chased from the game. Crosten and Davis collected four personals for Albany, and three other Pirates had three apiece when the gun sounded.
