ton. Rusie waited. To his surprise
the New York club increased his re-
servation. He appealed to the league
yesterday. The bill for injunction de-
clares that combination of the National
league is unlawful and unreasonable
and, if enforced, will work irremedia-
BILE hardship to the complainant. The
prayer of the bill is Ito restrain and
enjoin the defendant from asserting
any claim or right to the services of
your orator in the line of his profess
sion, or from asserting any claim or
right that any other corporation cannot
engage the services of your orator in
his profession"
In addition Rusie began suit at law
for the recovery of $4,000 damages by
reason of the conduct of the New York
club in preventing him rrom following
bis profession.
