DOWN GOES DECKER,
So Far as His Suit Against the National
League is Concerned.

League is Concerned.
Judge Slagle yesterday filed opinions in the
3sse of Umpire Decker against the National
League of Baseball Clubs for salary on the
demurrer, fled by the defendant, to the plaint-
IFS statement and also on the motion to set
aside the service of the writ IN the suit The
principal point in the demurrer and motion was
that the suit was improperly brought, as the
League was not regular corporation. and the
question was raised "What is the Lacquer
The Judge. in his opinion on the motion to
set aside service of the writ, said: IF the
defendant is corporation the service in the
case is properly made on the President and
one of the directors. 1t is not named as such
in the writ or statement. This would perhaps
be good grounds for demurrer, but cannot be
taken advantage of upon the motion to set
aside the service
On the demurrer His Honor says: THE
statement in the case set out at length cor
respondence with n. E Young, one of the de-
PENDANTS, by which the contract upon which
suit is brought is alleged to have been made
Il is not necessary in passing upon the de-
murrer to construe this contract, or determine
what may be the liability created by it. This
might depend upon the character of the or
ganization which he professed to represent and
the extent of his power to bind 1t.
THE grounds OF demurrer are all well taken,
If it is intended TO charge the persons named
as co-partners under the name of the National
League of Baseball Clubs it should be so stated
any part in making the contract, and, unless
they are partners with Young his action would
not bind them.
''The claim for damages is in the nature of a
tort, and can only be recovered in trespass
The demurrer is therefore sustained"
The Judge also granted the request giving
the defendants 10 days in which to answer or
demur.

UMPIRE DECKER LOSES HIS LAWSUIT

Judge Magee had case before him in
. the Criminal Court yesterday that was as
odd one as has been in the court for long
time, 1t was the surety of the peace case of
Peter Keitz against Miss Christine Horn
berger, both of the Southside.
Mr.. keith is married man, and claims
that Miss Hornberger follows him on the
street and calls at his house at night, annoy
ing him constantly.
When Miss Hornburger was called on
for her side of the case, she burst out with a
volume of assertions that astonished the
whole courtroom. She said that she was "a
years of age, and knew Keitz for IS years,
and that she has been under a magnetic
spell put upon her by him, all that time.
She is completely subject to his will, and he
takes possession of her when he pleases. She
can't help herself, and only wants released
from his power. After he has put his spell on
her she feels as if her whole spine had been
taken from her, and suffers terribly. She
plunged into an explanation of magnetism,
mesmerism, psychology, hipnotism, etc, ETC.,
and begged the Judge to release her from
KeitE's thrall. She said she wouldn't believe
him on OATH that he would say or do anything,
She would not listen to any remarks that it was
hallucination she was laboring under, but
said she was as sane as anyone, but they did
not understand her.
John Robb, attorney for Mr.. Keitz, said there
was only one thing to do, and that was to send
the woman to jail to cure her. He recited a
case Of his own that occurred some years ago,
when a man followed him about for weeks. He
did not know him, but the man attempted to
shoot him in court one day and was arrested
Judge W hite sent him to jail. and after he was
released he never troubled him again.
Judge Magee was in a quandary, but after
short dialogue, in which the woman did most
of the talking, he SAID he would try her for
week. and if she did not let Keitz alone he
would commit her to Jail
Clerk Long, as the woman was leaving the
courtroom, presented her with a buckeye
which, he told her, would as long as she kept
IL in her pocket prevent Keitz from exercising
his influence over her. She waved him away
and with a smile, said she was sane enough and
60 keep the charm for himself; he needed it Mr..
Longs little ruse was greeted with laughter by
those in the court.
The woman was poorly dressed, but was
withal of comely appearance. She is well edu-
Gated and intelligent on all but the idea con-
nected with KeitZ. The witnesses examined
said that that was the only point on which she
was not sane.
