The other four States in which

wisconsin, Maryland, Georgia and
Maine. The Maine bill, however,
would exempt amateur teams only,

provides for a referendum on the

for legalized Sunday base ball In .
referendum last Fall.
The six States where the letter OF
the blue laws" has been strictly en-
forced, at least against base ball. are
Pennsylvania, Maine, Virginia, Yer
mont, North Carolina and Georgia:
North Carolina just this year passed
its bill outlawing base ball on the
Sabbath. In rock-ribbed Vermont
and virginia, where all except neces-
sary occupations are banned on
Sunday, no legislation Is pending.
Only the Western States as q
group are free of restrictive laws
against Sunday base ball and only
Colorado has any sort of law on
base ball. The Colorado statute
leaves the decision to each locality
and most Of the important cities
maintain league teams which play
