General Yerger admits that it will be a

In holding that the act known as senate

and void under the statute, Judge Palmer
decided that a subsequent act inficting
penalties upon those who encouraged BET
ting on horse races had nothing left to
stand on. The indictments against the
New Memphis Jockey Club for maintaining
betting on its property during a matinee
day of racing in April was. therefore. Or

rectors of the Capital City Base Ball
League to hold a large euchre Monday
evening, June II, at the Masonic Temple. on
F street between 9th and 10th streets north

lettering the grounds and making things
more comfortable for the many patrons
of theleague.
From present indications the affair will be
a grand success. as all who are interested
in the welfare OF the league are putting
forth their best efforts The fact that the
proceeds are to go to improving things In
general around the lots will probably help
to draw one of the largest crowds ever I'm
attendance at a euchre given by base ball
organization.
A large number.of handsome prizes have
been donated by prominent local firms, and
all of the clubs In the league have also
put up creditable awards. The government
printing office team Is to offer a handsome
gold watch, and the prizes given by the
other teams will In all likelihood be just as
acceptable as that given by the government
printers. From seventy to eighty prizes
will be contested for.
Ross Blosser. vice president of the league,
has been directing the euchre. and Mr..
Frank Hudley has been Of considerable
help in assisting. The managers of the
teams are lending their best efforts and
the players and a large number Of fans are
showing much interest. With all this help
1t should result In SURPRISING any other
entertainment ever attempted by the league.

"Ofd Man Weather" certainly has been
unkind the past week. Just to think
only two teams out for game. II he
keeps the hose turned on much longer
good round Of games will probably have
to be thrown out, as there IL q resolution
in the constitution Of the league which
states that all games will have to be
played one week after the schedule Is con-
cluded. The managers had better get to-
gether and arrange few double-headers
whenever the sun sees tit to hunt US up.
1t will be a little difficult for the teams
to get out for double header, as the
league only has one park this season.
Therefore, the first game would either have
to be played in the morning or In the early
afternoon, while last season two parks
were at their disposal. which made 1t
quite easy to pull OF two games a day.
The games should draw out record-break-
ing crowds this week-that Is, IL good
weather prevails. as some good games are
scheduled that should result in much ex-
citement and close scores.
1t won't be much of a surprise to any

The Government Printing Office team is a
very hard team to dope. One day they
will play bail like team fighting for first
honors in the race for the pennant and
the next day they will play like a lot OF
school kids. The whole fault seems to
be that the players are shifted into too
many positions. Some good players are
now with the club. and IL they could be
depended upon to appear at each game ana
were given certain place on the field and
worked in that manner a change in their
playing would soon be noticeable.
Had Government Printing Office defeated
the Southern Railway team last Monday
there would have been three teams tied in
the second division. Their chances for
winning from Southern on that day looked
very bright, but they lost out by one score
in the last inning. Wouldn't that have
made the race interesting? TWO teams tied
for first place and with the third aggre-
CATION but one game behind and three
teams par for the top of the second
division.
