President Freedman.s Suit.

President Freedman of the New York
Base Ball Club has brought suit against
the Atlantic Base Ball League to recover
some 5000 or 1000 for moneys withheld,
breach OF contract and other things. The
Atlantic League expelled Mr.. Freedmans
Metropolitan club from the organization
few months ago. The Atlantic officers
claimed that Mr.. Freedman was obnoxious
and unfair In his dealings, and in two in
stances had fagrantly broken the laws Of
the league 1t seems that at the time of
expulsion several clubs owed Mr.. Freedman
games at the Polo Grounds, where he
would have taken the entire gate receipts.
Mr.. Freedman is suing for this money as
well as forfeits and dues.
