ATTORNEY GENERAL
 RENDERS OPINION

It will be impossible to secure c,rdav base ball under the Initiative and Referendum, ac- eOrding to an opinion rendered bv Attorney General Norwood late Thursday afternoon. This oninion was rendered in connec ton with a request from Dallas oonntv as to whether the people there could circulate petitions and take advantage of the amend ment to the constitution to set. file the dispute over the location If the county court house-at Fordyce or Princeton.
 The Attorney General holds that the Initiative and Referen dunn amendment cannot be re- 
 sorted to in connection with any matter not consistent with the constitution of the state. As Sunday base ball is provided by ageneral law, and under this decision it cannot be set aside in sections of the state which might favor the playing of the national game on the Sabbath.
 The petitions for the sale of louor in certain communities will also fall under this ruling.
