Under a ruling of the attorney gen.
eral, saloons must close at $3.50 p. m,
and the proprietor, the barkeepers and
everybody else must get out at that
time and stay out. The proprietor
cannot remain and check his cash; the
employees cannot remain and scrub
the floors. Goods sold during legal
hours cannot be delivered after $3.50.
In other words, the $3.50 closing law
means that every activity of the sa-

Dallas, Texas: Director w. I. Yopp
Of the exhibit horse division Of the
State Fan Of Texas at Dallas. Is pre-
dieting a record breaking showing for
his department at the coming 'exposi-
ton. Glasses in his division have been
re- arrangcd and made much more at
tractive than In previous years. The
splendid results of last years show
have resulted in larger number Of
exhibitors reserving space. Mr.. Yopp
reports an unusual amount of interest
aroused among breeders in Kentucky
Tennessee, Missouri and Nebraska
Texas breeders will be more largely
represented than last year. He said:
1.-THE showing at the Fair this fall
will be representative one In every
respect our prize list has undergone
a general revision, and includes prac-
tically every variety Of horse now
raised in America. Entries already
made for this years exhibition Indicate
that this department will be even more
attractive than ever. There are a num-
Der of RICH special prizes put up by
various associations, and in addition
TO these the State Fair management
will award nearly $1,000 in prizes. In
the thoroughbred and standard bred
and saddle horse classes the state Fair
has always been a leader in the exhib-
iting OF these useful types of horses.
The entry list OF this year denotes that
the breeders of the North, East and
Southwest are all preparing to send
their horses to compete, giving assur-
ance of high class of exhibits.
1.-THE saddle horse class Is extremely
well looked after. The Texas Saddle
Horse Breeders association offers a
special prize for the best saddle animal,
foal Of 1913, exhibited at the Fair. This
prize is divided into four moneys and
totals $50 in value. For the best stall
lion or mare, three years OLD or under,
the American Saddle Horse Breeders

Eastern and Business Oppose
in First Game for Scholastic
Championship.
TOM FISHER is TO PITCH
Stenographers Looked Upon by
Many as Dark Horse, and
Will Be Watched.

Eastern and Business formally open
the 1913 struggle for the baseball su-
premacy of the Washington high
schools tomorrow afternoon at Ma
tionaI Park at 8 o'clock.
The fact that Tcm Fisher. Eastern's
all-around athlete, will make an ap-
pearance with the Capitol Hill team.
following his reinstatement at the
high school is calculated to strength
en- the team on account of hitting.
which has been woefully lacking this
year.
For the Light Blue and White. John
son has been nominated to do the box
honors and how we'll he will acquit
himself is only a matter of conjecture
for the followers of the team. Rusi-
ness, on the other hand, is placing its
hopes on Speed Keppy, who has
done excellent work all this year. y
The Stenographers have played good
ball in all their engagements and are
looking forward TO a win. Several
strong teams have been put out of
commission by the Business nine and
the players at the Rhode Island Ay-
enue school, while not claiming the
pennant, say they have as good a
team as any in the league.
Business is regarded as the dark
horse in the. 1913 campaign. While
Business on past performances has
clearly demonstrated its ability to
combine heavy hitting with good
pitching. Wood will catch Kelly In
the game tomorrow.
Wilson is slated to hold down. first for
the Pen Pushers, while Brennon is
booked for the midway position. Bornet
is to play short while Derrick, who is
plotting the nine this year. will play
at third. Eidmayer, Hunt, and Boern-
stein will make up the outfield. Eth
Hunt or Derrick are able to 20 in the
box so that Business seems to be well
fortified with pitching talent.
Eastern will have Captain Dyer be-
hind the bat in the event that either
John son or Greer start the game.
While johnson is the logical choice
Greer may be called upon. and
will warm the bench. Three Fishers
are slated for outfield positions, while
Horn is on first, Lawson at second,
Shinn at short, and Thornett is at
third.
