Two Barons Out
Goalby scooped McGilvray's slap and
threw him out at first, there being no adj

suited in a bounder to Lindsay, which he
shot to first after holding Bodus at third.
The bases were full again. Williams
gave Ellam four bad ones. Dilger's
short bingle to left scored Bodus and
sent Williams to the bench.
Dynamite Sam Hendee found the bases
jammed, and after working two fast ones

Social Clubs
Get Hard Jolt

HUNTINGTON. W. Va, July ga
generally accepted Interpretation of
the laws OF West Virginia legalizing
the Sunday sale Of intoxicants In char.
tered social clubs was revised to-day
by Circuit Judge Graham, who over.
ruled demurrer to a petition OF local
saloonists who are engaged in h war
against dozen local clubs.
Judge Graham held that the sale OF
liquor on Sunday, no matter whether
II be in saloon or social club. Is
illegal.
Throughout the State the special
act governing the conduct OF social or.
ganizations has been Interpreted to
grant them the privilege OF dispensing
drinks to members. 1t has been wide.
J.. conceded that the mere fact that no
mention is made in the special act pro.
hibiting Sunday sale Of intoxicants Is
an indirect bestowal OF that privilege.
Judge Graham contends, however,
that unless it be specifically stated as
y special act does not repeal any part
of a general law.
