Claire. Two new ones have been

rent power, but when the equipment
is complete the company will be able
to supply all demands upon it in this
line.

When doctors disagree are the laity
to be blamed for intidelity? This
reflection is suggested by the late
opinions among the pro-
fesSlon of this city on the subject of
smallpox. Still there is more virtue
in an honest disagreement than a
dishonest agreement, and as a matter
of fact we can't see the harm in the
laity having any old opinion that
comes their way as long as they can
know nothing about the merits of the
case anyway. We leave the whole
subject with the profession.

LAJoIE's CASE IN COURT.
Argument Over the National League
Baseball Contracts

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 27.-The
case of the Philadelphia Baseball Club
against Napoleon Lajoie was continued
in the Common Pleas Court before Judges
Martin, RalstOn, and Stevenson, this
morning. J. J. Turner addressed the court
on behalf of Lajoie. The counsel opened
his address by referring to the unfair
clauses embodied i'm the contract which
the players are practically forced to sign.
He showed that the agreement between
the players and magnates was in every
detail drawn in favor of the magnates,
and should the latter so wish, they can
keep man from playing ball unless he
plays with the club he originally signed
with, and as far as his baseball career
was concerned, he is practically bound for
life
Richard c. Dale then spoke. He said
there were two points of law that he
would like the judges to answer. as on
them the case was balanced. The first
was, rs contract with it's several pro-
visions for baseball players a contract
which a chancellor would decree the spe-
cilic performance Off" The second point
was, rs this part of the contract, with
its provisions for services, renewal, and
discharge, a contract of which chancel-
Tor would decree specific performa%e?"
in concluding the argument for the
complainants, John G. Johnson, with
amusing sarcasm, related how the other
side had tried to make it appear that
there was neither law nor equity on the
complainant's side of the controversy by
filing demurrer to their bill. but the
weakness of their study and research in
doing this soon became manifest. after
calm deliberation and reflection, and they
attempted to reform these weaknesses
and TO bolster up their defence by filing
an answer in which it was alleged that
the defendant Latoie had signed this con-
tract in ignorance and had been deceived
The attempt of the other side to inn
press the court with the belief that ball
players were poor slaves, Mr.. johnson
said, was amusing. Think of it, a poor
slave, earning 1888 per month for two
hours work a day, for services that are
more in the x0rm of amusement than
work. -
In conclusion, Mr.. johnson contended
that the contracts We're not harsh and un-
conscionable, and he ridiculed the idea Of
Laioie that he could disregard the pro-
visions OF a contract. the terms of which
he knew fun well by examination and
long experience.

Piatt was ia the box for the Athletics,

effective and kept the eleven hits well

Washington fell easy victims in their

Two singles and a sacrifice added one

Onc-MiIe Relay Race

PHILADELPHIA, April 27-The Uni

relay races, held on Franklin Field, Phil

season. has come to be one of the most
important meetings of the year.
A crowd of over 10000 spectators attend
ed the meeting today, practically every
college and school in the East which has
any aspirations in the athletic line being
represented. The quality of the contests
was good, and this years meet was in
keeping with the reputation of the annual
fixture.
The greatest race of the day was the
one-mile relay contest for the college
championship In this the victory ap-
peared in each relay, in turn to be in the
hands Of a different team. l. Boardman
the only athlete who has beaten Maxey
Long at a quarter mile, finally won for
Yale, beating out with Maloney. of the
Chicago University.
The four mile relay championship also
furnished a great race, Harvard's team
surprising all but the Harvard rooters
by winning on the tape. Three yards from
the finish this race looked like a dead
heat. Harvard also won the two mile
event, in which each contestant ran Il
half mile.
