Giants Trimmed In
Fast Game Sunday
Pueblo Bunch Handed Harpoon
By Ordway' s Slugging and
Fast Running Players

''TheIe were Giants IN those days.
You will notice that the Bible says
"wcre." Aud that's what they say
down In Smokctown since that bunch
came up from Pueblo last Sunday and
got what they were not looking for.
For Ord way had nine\little Jack.the-
Giant-Killcrs who were right on the
me ut EN-" meanwhile keeping %
nifty and farsccing eye on the bunch
which were cavOrting around the
diamond hugging the-delusion that
they were ball players.
And, take IT. from me, things did
look squally when the Giants tore
loose In the second and made three
runs with two men down. This was
altogether owing to loose playing on
the part OF the locals and aided and
abetted by several accidents. In the
fourth the Ordways returned the
compliment and from that time on
proceeded To kick the Giants "hOun'
dawg r0un" till the close of the game.
The score may be consulted for fur
ther particulars.
There was some rough house play
during the game, which we believe
was as much regretted afterwards by.
the visitors rs 1t was by the audience.
Such performances always tend togive
base ball black eye an1 should be
avoided.
As to the umpire, we wish to reiter-
ate what we said last season, and
that Is that Fred ROhl Is as square an
umpire As can be found on the diamond.
Close decisions occur In almost every
game, and we believe that MIR. ROhl
always renders his decisions exactly
as they appear to him, without preju.
dice or favor-and the umpire Is in q
position to see the play better than
anyone In the grand stand or on the
side lines. We believe that the um-'
pirc last Sunday would have been
fully justified In benching at least two
OF the Pueblo players.
Here are the particulars:

ENFORCE THE LAW.

The Graphic owes it's first duty to it's readers and it never fails to give them the news when it is news and no trouble nor expense is spar ed to get it.
 But the Graphec also owes a duty to society and the government un- der which it exists. For this req son and no other it has decided to refrain from publishing the details of the McVay case whan it goes to trial, after Judge Grace has issued an order directing that no news papers publish the proceedings of the trial Judge Grace holds that if the newspapers go into the Me- Way case, as the evidence is given from the witness stand, they will have a tendency to enterfere with justice and in all probability maka it impossible to secure other juries in ri similar cases pending in this court and which are based eclusive ly upon the same testimony that is to be introduced by the State and defense in the John M. McVay case.
 The Graphic has no desire to an tagonize the court nor interfere with the enforcement of the law. It owes a duty to Judge Grace and should respect his Tlishes, especially when his reasons are so clear and so we'll argued.
 Judge Grace's actions are un- doubtedly instigated by his Gesire to further the public welfare, as he thinks the publicateon of the testi- mony in this case might make it impossible to secure jurors for the, trials of the other men yet to be brought to iusticV in connection with the kelling of J. w. Ethridge.
 Under the law, as we construe it, Judge Grace has no legal right to prohibit the put lication of the de- tails of the McVay case, just so long dS lne papers pupilsh uue lae,o' u is possible that he has the au- thority to bar newspaper men from the court room in the event any of them would ensist upon taking ste nographic notes, but not otherwise as the law of Arkansas says that trials must be- public.
 In cases where the testimony is
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-02-14

indecent or calculated to be harm ful to public morals, the presiding judge at preliminary ~9aearings may bar auditors, but a trial judge has no such power even in cases of this kind.
 The Graphic will not interfere with the enforcement of the law and will take no step that might prevent justice to the State or any defend~ ant in any trial. It realizes that publicity has a tendency to influ ence many people and especially at this time, when the people of this county and state are clamoring for law enforcement, it shall do what it thinks best for the people and the cety, county and state.
