INDIAN PITCHER wEAKENs.
Senators Solve His Delivery in the
Eighth and Win

SACRAMENTO, Sept 1S = To-day's
game was one of the most interesting of
the season. For seven innings the Sena-
tors could do nothing with Indian
Morris delivery. although two hits of
a decidedly scratchy nature were scored
against him. In the eighth inning, how
ever. the Senators became accustomed to
his delivery, punched four hits and scored
three runs. This broke the ice, and as
two more runs were scored in the ninth it
clinched the victory. Thomas pitched
good. consistent ball throughout. Score:

Slot Machines Illegal.

A decision from the attorney general,
followed by short conference between
the county attorney, the sheriff and the
city marshal, put all the slot machines in
Lewiston out of business this week, and
there is nothing doing with the festive
nickle in the places where the buzzing
wheel was familiar sound.
In response to an inquiry from the
county attorney from Cassia county, At
torney General Bagley expressed the
opinion that all slot machines, whether
paying cash or checks calling for merch-
andise, are gambling devices and any
person operating or patro1izing them is
guilty of a misdemeanor.
The decision refers to similar opinion
given by Attorney General Hayes in
March 1899, in which all slot machines
of whatsoever character are held to be in
violation of the law, which opinion he
holds to be good.
No distinction is made between cards,
dice, colored discs, number or other de-
vices operated by nickles or other coins.
Wherever gain is promised the law is
violated. Slot machines paying in cur
rency, checks or merchandise are in
operation in every county in the state
and accorning to the attorney generals
opinion everyone OF them is in contra
vention of the law
distinctive feature of the opinion is
that il makes the patron equally liable
with the owner or operator of The ma
chine. In other words any one dropping
a nickle into the slot is equally culpable
with an individual who places money on
card in game of faro or on number
or color in roulette. In each case the
object sought is the same and the law
makes no distinction whatever. It is
pleaded by cigar dealers and others that
the slot machine is merely salesman,
and this is no doubt true but it is. never
theless, in the opinion of the attorney
general, a plain violation of the anti
gambling law.
