 The five, M. A. Picciollo, Frank Stone, Felix Fazzano, William Vein stein and Philip Steiger. were fined $50 each and warned by the court not to open their courses on Sunday.
 Defense counsel James F. Kennedy immediately announced he would ap- peal to the superior court and reiter- ated that if the lower courts deci- sion was upheld he would demand enforcement of all the so-called blue laws on the statute books.
 This afternoon Kennedy will at tempt to Have made permanent a temporary injunction obtained by Fazzano to prevent police interfer ence with operation of his miniature golf course.
 The case has caused considerable local interest and the courtroom was crowded this morning. If Kennedy makes good his threat to see that all blue laws are enforced, hundreds of miniature links. regular golf courses, and many theaters through out the state, now open on Sunday, will be forced to close on the Sabbath.

Boston, Sept. 2e (UP)-Believed the victim of an axe battle, former City Councilman Thomas w. Mo- Mahon, document clerk of the Bos- ton city council, was recovering from serious injuries today at City hospital, where he appeared for treatment under an assumed name Wednesday night.
 Tony Nardi 62, in whose Marsh field home the fight is supposed to have occurred, was in a critical con- dition at Brockton hispital in Brockton this morning as result of skull fracture presumably receiv- ed in the same battle.
 Newspapermen identified McMa hon last night at the local hospital where he was listed as Joseph Ma honey. He said he used the fictitious name because he feared publicity attending the incident might put him in an unfavorable light.
 Officer F. L. sinnott of the Marsh
