the Topeka Journal has the following,
which is Vi interest to baseball players
The matter has been before the Legis-
lature at many sessions, hut has never
been acted on, the only prohibition so
far being on Decoration Day. 1t says:
In deciding that there is no law in
Kansas at the present time which pro-
hiblts the playing of baseball on Sun
day, the Kansas supreme court aeyotes
several pages of a learned decision re-
garding the history ct baseball, The
case was decided by Justice Porter on
the appeal of Ernest Prather from
johnson county. Prather was convict
ed and fined for playing baseball on
Sunday and appealed to the supreme
court. tn its decision the COURT says
that baseball eannet be eIassed as q
gamblers game and that the youth Of
the land are encouraged by teachers
and parents to become proficient in it
as an athletic sport helpful to the mind
and body. SITS freedom from all i'm
moral tendencies has made it the ac-
knowledged NATIONAL sport. a game the
popular interest in which e9ntfnues I'M
varying, leYeling all class destinations"
says the court The opinion further
saws that the legislature can stop the
playing of Sunday baseball but to da SO
it must pass Law on the subject and
not make it part of law which pro-
hihits horse racing, cock fighting or
card playing,
