the .Greeves Sunday baseball bill, un
der which games on Sunday will be
legalized. The measure repeals a sec
tion of the fundamental laws of the state adopted In the early history of
Ohio.
Reform agents sought to bring great
pressure against the bill. One amend
ment, which limited application of the
bill to games at which no admission is charged, was killed. Supporters of the
bill represent, in the main, the more
populus counties.
In anticipation of this bill, the house recently passed another measure by

cils to say whether Sunday games shall or shall not be played. It is within
the province of councils to prevent the games. Both bills have yet to be
acted upon by the senate.
