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.

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.

10 GIVE VIEWS
To the Editor:
From time to time In the past sev
eral years there have been requests
made to the city council for the
passage of an ordinance regulating
the sale of meat and meat products
within the city of Medford. 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.
