game of baseball Is not per so, vio-
lation Of the statute, but, in my opin-
ion, 1t may become so by accompany
ing circumstances. 1t becomes vio-
lation of the law when accompanied
by the assembling Of large crowd
with loud noise which disturbs the
repose and religious liberty of the
community, and may be punished as a
nuisance
Whenever a game of baseball is
played by salaried professional play
ers managed by league of baseball
clubs, and an admission fee is charged
to the game, 1t becomes a business
rather than sport. Southern Assn.
Y. Day 125 n. Y. Eupp 1873.
1t is promoted and maintained by
the owners as money making bust
ness undertaking just as any other
business undertaking is promoted and
maintained. The professional bali
player plays ball because it is his
trade or calling and because he can
make more money by that means than
ne can at any other trade or calling.
The ball, bat and NIT are just as much
the implements OF labor of the prof
essional ball player as is the saw and
hatchet, the pick and shovel imple-
ments of labor of the carpenter and
the coal miner. In my opinion, the
professional baseball player who uses
his implements of labor on the Sab
bath day is just as guilty of violating
the statute as the carpenter or coal
miner would be were they to engage
in their respective trades on that day.
The playing Of private game OF
baseball on Sunday is not a violation
OF the law, provided, it is conducted
IN such a manner as not to cause a
nuisance. Sunday amusements and
sports OF private nature which do not
disturb the repose and religious liberty
OF the community, are not violations
OF the law, and with the exception OF
hunting, fishing and carrying fire
arms, private sports and amusements
may be INDUCED in without let or
hinderance.
The statute prohibiting laboring at
any trade or calling on the Sabbath
day may be old, Anticipated and out of
cate. 1t may not provide the restric-
tion as to certain acts that may be
desired by some, and 1t may limit de-
sired liberties OF Others. With such
complaints this court has no concern.
Courts are not guided by pubic opin-
ion in the Interpretation of statutes
Courts are not vested with legislative
functions that will authorize the ex-
pansion of an ancient statute 10 in
clude offenses not contemplated by the
legislators at the time of It's passs ge
neither have they authority to exclude
from the operation of the statute Of
lenses which fair Interpretation ard
the law of precedent will nor Justify,
II public opinion is displeased in
any respect with the present general
statute relating to Sunday observance
the only source of legitimate relief is
the state legislature whose duty i, is
to enact laws for the government of
the people of the state

laws relating to Sunday observance
has been violated it will be your duty

BOOKED
FOR HIGH
TRIBUNAL
MOMAN PRUITT AND JUDGE
BREWER MAY co TO SU-
PREME BENCH

The candidacy of Chief Justice
Hayes, Of the supreme court for the
United States senate and of Justice
r. l.. Williams for governor, means
that there are soon to be two vacan
t-as on the supreme court bench that
must be filled by the governor Also
the candidacy Of Judge ]. y. a. Rob
ertson will mean another vacancy on
the supreme court commission.
There is rumor that has gained
considerable credence that Governor
Cruce has decided to appoint Momah
Pruitt criminal lawyer at Okla
homa City TO one of the places on
the supreme bench 1t is also ru-
mored that Judge Brewer of Nc
Alester. who was recently made a
member of the supreme court com
mission, is to be elevated to the sn-
preme bench to fill the place that
will be made vacant by the resigna-
ton of Justice Williams IN this
event there will be still another va
cancy ON the supreme court commits
sion.
This brings about an unusual stu
alton. The resignation some time aso
of Justice Jesse Dunn and the antici-
pated designations OF Hayes and
( Williams means that three OF the
five justices On the supreme court
bench will have been appointed by
the governor, and only two will re-
main who are there by suffrage OF
the people.
There is a good deal Of comment
in legal circles over the shifting Il
the supreme court and the court
commission. Lawyers say that tnls
constant change is liable to lead tc
confusion of laws. Decisions made
by the present justices may not CO.
incide with the decisions of those
who succeed them and in simslai
cases decision thus may differ. sc
that no one can know what the Law
