objects TO a Contin0ance.
NEW YoRK, Jan. 9.-Judge O'Brien, sits
ting in Supreme court chambers. heard the
arguments Of eminent counsel to-day on the
motion of the Natianol League of Base Ball
Players clubs, through the Metropolitan Ex-
hibition Co., for an injunction to restrain
John M. Ward from playing with any other
than the New York Base Ball club. The
motion was in reality only the preliminary
step to test case to decide whether the
word "reserve" stipulates that q man shall
be subject to the call of the league for more
Beaman appeared for the plaintiff. John B.
Day, and Messrs. Anderson and Rowland for
the defendant.
Mr. Beaman. opening for the plaintiff,
said that under the contract into which Ward
entered with the New York clnb, the club
had the right to his services during the year
1890. The word PRESERVE" In the contract,
he claimed, was to all intents and purposes
an option on the players services for 1890.
The contract gave the club the absolute
right to Wards services in 1859 and left it
optional with the club whether it should
claim his services In 1890. He then read
CLAUSE in the contract In which Ward agreed
not to make any engagement for future en-
ployment while playing with the New York
club. The eighteenth clause of the contract
says it is agreed that the club shall have the
right to reserve the player for the season
next ensuing and that the player shall be
paid the same salary during the season next
ensuing unless he should agree to receive q
less amount.
1t is upon this portion of the agreement
that the plaintiff seeks to obtain an injunc-
ton. After the contract drawn up by the
who Is lawyer. drew up q supplemental
contract in his own handwriting, in which
IL was stipulated that he should not be held
by the club In 1890 for q salary less than
s., 000 This supplemental contract was
signed by the club and made part OF the
original contract. In drawing up and sign
ing this supplemental contract, counsel
to hold him for 1890. The defendant was
notified In due time that his services would
be required during the season of 1890 by the
New York club.

plaintiff. The affidavit Of President Day,
stating that 1t would now be impossible to
secure for next season the services of a.
skilled q player as Ward, should Ward be
| allowed to break his contract, was put In
evidence.
Ex-Judge Rowland replied for the defend
ant. He said It was very important for Mr..
Ward and the other players to have .
speedy determination of the case. It was

W. 8. Bull ~ g., Yale's famous fullback,
has been suffering with the grip. According to
the "Week's Sport" Billy says that IL tack
led him harder thap he ever was attacked on
q football field, but It could not down him.
Cornell does not like the way Yale and
Harvard have treated her challenge to boat
race at New London next June. Cornell
mon clain.that Yale ia afraid to row. and
wants to keep Cornell out of her place a.
one of the leading universities of this coun-
try ID athletics as we'll As learning. They
also say that last year the Cornell crew won
easily from the q. Of P. Grew, while Yale
had 4 hard fight with the Pennsylvania
boys. Still further. their crew, according to
Cornell men, rowed the four mile course
against tide and wind within ten seconds Of
Yale's best time. Never were statements
more Aagrantly untrue than that Yale wish
es to snub Cornell, or is afraid that she will
lose her prowsss on the water by joining IL
sue with the crew from Ithaca. It Is Tales
policy to snub no worthy competitors. On
the water Yale and Harvard stand In the
same relation that Cambridge and Oxford of
England do, and the annual race at New
London between these two colleges, for the
last fourteen years, has proved the wisdom
of the present boating arrangement When
Cornell sufficiently proves that she il on an
equal footing with Harvard and Yale in
boating, the two latter colleges will justly
consider the challenge and probably arrange
a triangular league.
A meeting of all those who intend to try
for places on the Mott Haven athletic team
will be held in the gymnasium this evening
at q quarter past seven. Great efforts will
re made to form a fine university ting -of-war
team this year. In former years this branch
l'of athletics has not received the attention
that ought to have been paid to it. Tho cup
that is to be competed for this year is
offered for the first time. Yale will make an
extra effort to have her name inscribed first
on it's side. Contests will be held ct the
gymnasium this winter to develop material
for the team. Silver cups will be given az
prizes for putting the short, high jump and

series Of inter-class pulls.
