Must rIay with Kansas City During the
Season of 1890.
PHILADELPHIA, May 5. In the suit of
the Kansas City American Association
Club against John T. Pickett and the
Players Club of Philadelphia, Judge
Arnold today granted an injunction re-
straining Pickett from playing for any
other club than the Kansas City during
the season Of 1890. The Judge in his de-
cision says in part: When we consider the
fact that the plaintiff, the Kansas
City Club paid for the release Of
Pickett from the st. Paul club in May
lost, S3. 300 Of which sum $500 was paid
to Pickett, and a salary of $40 a month,
which was regularly and fully paid to him,
although be was sick and uuabe to play
nearly half the season Of 1888 His in
gratitude is shown to be equal to his bad
faith. While we cannot punish him for
his ingratitude, we can restrain him
from deriving any benefit from
the breach of his contract.
In regard to Pickett's plea, that the Kan
sas City club has transferred its member
ship from the American association to the
Western association, and that it has re-
leased others of It's players, the court says
he has stopped himself from complaining
as he freely acquisced in these arrange
ments

This Is "a Back Fire.
This story is a back fire. The idea is
