Cedar Rapids July 28. An effort to oust Mayor Ruth over Sunday baseball is being considered by the group behind last year’s ouster bid, which failed after the supreme court ruled Sunday baseball not illegal. L M Kratz, a key organizer, says he has asked Governor Clarke and Attorney General Cosson for action. County Attorney Guy Linville doubts new proceedings will succeed, noting the court previously left the status undecided and the mayor may lawfully refrain only if advised otherwise.
