POOL PLAYING
With Loser Playing is a Crime 'r
Georgia.

Bangor. Me. March 3O.-The Bangor
Commercial of this evening eohta"'s
the follow ing: Devotees Of the game 81
pool one of the most popular games III
the clubs and billiard halls. during inc
winter months, will be interested IN the
decision of the supreme court OF the
st,tc nj Georgia which holds that IT the
losing palyer pays for the game he Is
,uilty of gambling. If a strict enforce
mont of all the laws in this state were
tn he made there might be difficulties
I'm the way Of pursuing the game under
the usual custom that obtains every
where. The following is from the Al
lanta COnstit utiOn:
playing pool fo:' so mus h cue th'
loser to pay the expenses of the game
IL gambling and a n1isdemeanor III
Georgia. according to q decision or the
supreme court handed down yesterday
Willis Hopkins AMI several friends
engaged in friendly game of pool IN a
pool room i'm Gainesville, Barlow coun-
ty. some time ago. whereupon they were
Injected for a misdemeanor under Sec
ton 4O1 of the criminal code. which pro-
vides that if any person shall bet AT
any pool table he shall be guilty OF
misdemeanor. Now Hopkins and the
other PLAYERS were not playing LOT
money or any other consideration ex-
cent the price of the game, which was
to be paid by the loser. Indeed. the
rules of the pool room prohibited put
ting arv stakes on the game. Neverthe-
less he was convicted under the section
I'D
he brought the case to the supreme
court.
"'rhe supreme court upheld the action
Of the lower court in conVlcting ana mn
ing Hopkins and thereby strikes DioW
at a very popular amusement all over
the State. Hereafter when parties play
at pool each man must pay LOT MS own
cue. or dodge the sheriT.
probably nine-tenths of the pool
games played are on the basis OF the
loser paying the proprietor or the pool
room for the pleasure enjoyed NOW
that the Zest is taken away from a
game of pool by this new construction
of the law, pool players will either nave
to violate the statute or some OF the
pool rooms will go out of business for
want Of patronage.
The supreme court in passing on the
case calls attention to the fact that the
point is one upon which it has never
passed before. In the headnote to the
decision the supreme court says:
".Playing pool under an agreement
ar.ong the players that the one losing
the game shall pay for the use of the
table, is betting at a pool table within
the meaning of the penal code. section
4O1, providing that eff any person shall
bet at any pool table he shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor." The fact that the
state imposes a specific tax on the
keeper of a pool table, docs not AFFECT
the question:
.The supreme court holds that the
money paid by the loser for the use OF
the table was money won at play, be-
cause the use of the table is as much 4
thing of value as the drinks. food
cigars or anything else that might b'
played for.
Unless this decision mas the erect o.
stopping the practice it is likely that IN
dictrnents will be found. against poo
PLAYERS at many other POINTS in tn
state on the same grounds.
