On vice c. 1909
The February 25, 1909 NYT has a number of interesting, and sometimes conflicting, stories from around the country concerning vice:
Nevada has anti-gambling fever: an anti-gambling sentiment in Nevada?
"New Boxing Bill at Albany": A bill to permit six-round boxing - whether this was an expansion or a contraction of existing limits to boxing bouts was not clear.
"Texas Racing Bill Held Up": State senate postpones a vote on an anti-racing bill.
"Tennessee in Favor of Boxing": The state Senate passed a bill allowing "scientific boxing" in the state.
"Sunday Baseball for Indiana": Was allowing professional baseball on Sunday the beginning of the end?
