PAGE FIVE Sunday Baseball Gaining As Old Blue Laws Taken Off Eastern State Books National Survey Shows 25 States Remain Under Restriction; Western States Untroubled by Puritan Idea By FOSTER HAILEY . Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK. March 10. (AP) Four score and many years ago tha Pu ritan forefathers of America decided It was and should be declared Illegal to engage In anything except church-going on the seventh day of the week. They passed laws so to outlaw other activities. A national survey by the Assoolated Press of these so-called "blue laws." many of which date from the loin century, today shows that 25 states atlll carry a ban against recreational or gainful activities on the Sabbath. However, In only six has there been any considerable effort to enforce them against Sunday baseball and In live repeal bills, are pending. Most Important, In national inter est, of the repeal bills la that in Pennsylvania, home of three major league teams, and without Sunday baseball since 1784. It la the only state harboring major league baseball which bans Sunday play, Massachu setts llftlnt the restrictions last year. May Repeal Law Annually for many years bills have TENNIS PLAYERS H.

Both ma jor leagues have withheld their sched ules pending the outcome. Tho other four states in which leg islation Is pending with reasonable expectations of passage are Wiscon sin, Maryland, Georgia and Maine. The Maine bill, however, would ex empt amateur teams only, while the Georgia measure merely provldea for a referendum on the subject In the city of Atlanta. Wisconsin voters ex pressed their desire for legalized Sun day baseball in referendum last fall. Six Enforce Statute The six states where the letter of the "blue laws" has been strictly enforced, at least against baseball, are Pennsylvania, Maine, Virginia, Vermont, North Carolina and Georgia. North Carolina this year passed Its bill outlawing baseball on tfte Sab bath. In rocK-rlbbed Vermont and Virginia, where all except necessary occupations are banned on Sunday, no legislation Is pending. Only the western states as a group t frm nf restrictive laws against Sunday baseball and only Colorado has any sort or a law on Daseoau. The Colorado statute loaves the deci sion to each locality and most of the Important' cities maintain league teams whloh play on Sunday FOR HIGHER PAY . MIAMI, Fls., Mar. 10.

Hack was given formal permission to dicker with other National league olubs In an effort to bring about his own trade. Joseph Ollleadeau, vice-president of the Dodgers, stipulated, however, mat the terms of the trade must be satis factory to Brooklyn. "If any club Is willing to pay a reasonable sale price and top our salary offer besides," he said, "I think the deal can be arranged." 11 CLASH TONIGHT CORVAIjLIS, Ore, -Mar. 10;p, The basketball aquada of Untveraliy of Southern California and Oregon State college rested today for the first game tonight of the series that will determine the Pacific coa comer ence championship.

Such an ordinance had been prepared and submitted to the council, which or dinance In effect provides for the In spection of all carcasses and meats sold within the city of Medford prior to tne sale thereof. It also provides for sanitary Inspection of all slaugh ter houses, trucks and meat markets. It Is proposed that the expense of Inspection be defrayed by a charge upon each animal slaughtered. All meat would, as far as practicable, be stamped with a proper Identification mark showing that the same had been duly Inspected by the city meat In spector. , m Farmers selling their own meat In the city would, under the proposed ordinance, be required to pay the In spection fee and aubmlt the meat proposed to be sold to Inspection. No Inspection would be made of any carcasses bearing the U. S. gov ernment Inspection stamp. The council has delayed consider ation of this ordinance, desiring to have the benefit of public opinion as to whether or not such an ordi nance la desirable and would meet with popular approval. The health committee would appreciate receiving comment from the public generally, and particularly any constructive criticism that may be suggested, and requests the citizens of Medford to Indicate at the bottom of thla article any crltlclm they might have Indi vidually, and mall the same to the health committee, together with any comment that might be of help.

Playing s careful yet persistent game, Medfrd was able to defeat Phoenix, 24 to 31. to win ths district basketball championship. The game, played at Phoenix last night, was perhaps the most thrilling contest Medford high sohool has played this season. Both teams played excellent basketbaU and at no time was the gsme otnehed. Medford started with a rush and for a time lt looked as If the Tigers would run away with ths game. Early In the third quarter Phoenix began to hit the bssket consistently and tied the score at IB-all Just three minutes before the game ended. Pan demonlum broke loose among the Phoenix fans, who vtsloned a chance to beat their old rtvala. But their dreams were broken aa Scheel, Med ford guard, sank a free throw and White forward, followed with a bas ket as the gsme ended. White, dependsble forward, led the Medford attack and took the place at the top of the scoring, with 10 points Cecil Swingle, probably the most outstanding player In the sec ondary league, played a fine game for Phoenix. Sears, Phoenix forward, appeared to be off his game In both the contests. Lsst' night he scored only three points. Glover, diminu tive forward, played a acrappy game for Phoenix. Tho Msxlford players were obvious ly cramped on the smaller floor last night. They were not handicapped to the extent the Phoenix team was earlier In the week, however, when the latter felt lost on the spacious Medford high school court. Homer Richie, phoenix forward. was kept out of the fame lost night because of a cup lip sustained earlier In the week during practice. Ivan Harrington rsfsrsed last night's contest.
