J. our compact with the govern

Subdivision l3, provides that su-

IL will be noted that though convicted
IN a justice court o. dozen times IL
does not invalidate the saloon license.
First the holder must be convicted
In county or district court, and for

II will be further noticed that
every holder OF saloon license, may
have the privilege OF transferring
his license. This makes 1t almost i'm
possible to secure the cancellation OF

also says, provided this shall not app

the handicaps cnder which that off,

A double umpire system for all
games Is officially established by the
new rules. The umplre-iD-chief. sta
toned behind the bat. will have full
charge OF the game and alone Will
have full authority 10 declare a game

authority in removing and fining play
ers. The two officials must work in
harmony, and In case point Is raised
on a decision one umpire may ask
for information from the other But
one umpire will not interfere with the
other unless requested.
The revised rules give tho umpire
absolute power over players on the
bench. This feature has long boon
