The PHILADELPHIA Inquirer SAYS: "There
was no sign of hostility as President John
b. Day and Buck Ewing, the famous ball
| player, cheerlly greeted each other in the
corridor of the postoffice building this
morning. As they shook hands with one
another the great catcher said: 1T beats all
when two old friends have to go against
SHO oASShOA- AhAs LAY tuSuSu
in reply, and the two parties in the suit of
the Metropolitan Exhibition Company
against William Ewing chartered gayly To-
gether for quite awhile before entering the
court room 10 begin their legal battle
against one another. It was quite evident
that both looked on the base ball war purely
as a matter Of business This suit of the
New York League team to restrain ''Buck
Ewing" from playing in the Brotherhood
League was argued in the United States
circuit court in New York before Judge
Wallace on Friday, and the court, after
hearing the argument, took the papers and
reserved its decision. The Giants claimed
that buck" had been reserved by them for
the season Of 1890, but Lawyer Bacon,
counsel for Buck, " in his reply to the as
PERSONS against his client, said that
when Buck" was handed notification
from Mr.. John B. Day in October last that
he was reserved" he tore it up in front of
the mans face who served it npon him, and
told Mr.. Days agent it was not worth the
paper it was written upon. Mr.. Bacon said
the suit was brought at this late day, just
when Mr.. Ewing was about to go south
with his new club, to prevent him from
going to work. Buck" was an interested
auditor at the trial, and the day following
left with his boys for Savannah, on the
steamship ChattahOochee, and they are ex-
pected to arrive tonight and play the Bos-
ton brotherhood team at the Bolton street
park tomorrow afternoon.
