Wlen the clod; in the court
j strikes twelve times tonight
>>oo| halls will be :i thing of the
a 1 in Klljs covin p. . that is on and
after that hour they will be oper-
ating unlawfully if they are operat-
ed. This l:w wiU m> in• o effect
\ Friday night at ! ;! o'clock without!
I any str-r.n..- or proviso's attached to i
! ii.
i'lii- action comes after a long
i fight on the part of the men own-
! itiiT the pool halls. Kminent jur-
i t- have.- declared that the legisla-
te violated the constitution wh»*n
'> j- --a ;! a bill granting conimun-
i<i'•1 the right to act on this mat-
ter as they did on the local option
of loons and while the matter
has . ane through many courts the I
puh.'i" sentiment is seemingly too j
strom: against the j»ool halls for j
ili' .. higher courts to sustain the j
oool ball men's arguments even if;
they know In the letter of the law i
they are rigjit and they are divided'
on that.
Yes. when the clock strikes twelve |
tonight the fifteen ball will roll in-j
to the lower left hand corner pock-!
et and the cue ball vvil scratch tor'
I the list time. The covers will be |
placed over the tables and the men
j occupying the easy chairs near the
stove will scratch yawn and go
home. Like open gambling like the
saloon like all sporting houses the
! pool hall is under the ban. Petty
I gambling is declared to have been
j t.he cause of the pool hall's ruin.
'The game itself is one that attracts
! men toward it. for it is fascinating j
| m a degree that 1b hard to imagine |
in an indoor game. If requires a |.
steady hand and a sharp wit conft-i
dence and ability to play well. But i
the little gamblers arc said to have j
ruined :i as they haw ruined o111«■ r j
propo ations. They >\o^id piay when j
the pool hall man's back was tnni-j
ed fur t■>.;) bits a gauo or a.- low as •
<i dime on a certain hall. so it is j
aid. Ii wi.- practha!i;. impossible J
ier i pool hall man to watch |
closely enough for the--'- sports"'
to keep thejn from gambling for j
ihey kept it from him. until they
perhaps one day ".got -tung" then I
?hey welched. A repetition of that
many many times ii many many ;
towns is perhaps the real reason!
why one of the ohie \ and one of!
the most scientific games ever in-.
ented is und«. r t he han.
Then again was another influ-
ent c that went with lie pool hall.
Many good men went and ; I a > < • ■ 1
and loafed. Nearly all the had m-m j
! did tho -ame thing 1'. i> not a a
matter for a 'nad man to <•'>11- j
j saminate the morals of a c.ood ma-!. :
but with lioys ii was different. In:
Jspite of the fad thai a minor was;
i liable to a fine of t ueniy-ii\e dob j
Mars for entering a pool hall and'
I that the pool hall man was also ii - ;
| able for prosequi ion ii minors were:
j allowed in the hall many boy^ did'
j m;tn;iL'f to get inside and piay. The> I
I perhaps threw i:: .vith the wrong J
j hum Ii. This perhaps came to the!
j i • oi : he people at bono* and'
■••• .p{• ■ at homo took not kind 1 > ;
to 'he corruption of morals.
ih;i on ihe other hand t ho pool
hail did lave one strong point in it-
fa.vor. Say a per-on has recently!
arrived in the town. In a town thej
J size of V-'axaiiachh> i her.- t- a h.-o-
! 1 u i e i \ 11 tj piare when- a man may'
'go afb-r ihe work in day is ch>- ■ 1 '
and loa f Sure he ought to be at a '
iibrar\ improving hi- mind. Sure.!
su re I' a ■ h<> j-. noi he's look i ng :
I for relaxation and not improve- j
nent. Tho pool hall furnished such1
! relaxation. It was . great informal |
! <du It. no d m-:-: an a.-m d. a ml no too :
(demanded unless a man wanted to j
j play. i Ie wasn't forced to pia> j
| pool. If he did the majority oi |
those w ho frequent al the pool halls j
did so for a few uj-j.nutes diversion;;
| for the love of the sport. This at'
I 1 J o'clock will be impossible. Thej
homes of the ci'y where one. might
pass a few hours in conversation
etc. are (dosed ami rightly lose-I.
to the •! range;. To him are left
oily the pi-h.ro ho.. . All per.^ons
do not rare for picture shows hi
iiicse talking is under the ban. One
'■*> (here to wa'eh not to talk but
men like to taik and could find
some one to talk to on any toph.
under the sun in tin- pool ball.
The majority said no pool halls
however so conseuueutly there will
none. The majority is perhaps
light under existing circumstances
but they haw favored or endorsed
no place or institution *> take the
place v.jt the thing they h^vc con-
demned.
