Roanns WILL 90 TO LAW.

Colonel John /. Rogers. OF the Phil.
adelphla Club. makes no bones OF say
ing that he will take the League con-
tract into court. The loss OF Lajoie
and Bernhard has aggravated him very
much; so much so. that when inter-
viewed by a Record" reporter tho
other day he sayagely said:
what will we do? What can we
doY We will bring suit. OF course.
when we are able TO ind out who we
are to bring suit against. Who are
these people. anyway An uninoorpo-
rated body. without nnmc. without

anyone seen one OF their contracts?
Have they ever made the contents OF

through the press?
who are these people who come
along and steal our players. after we
have paid fancy prices TO secure their
release from other clubs? And yet
these are the people that are being

OF this city. when the Philadelphia

Last season we were offered 5000

people come along and steal him

OF our Philadelphia papers has printed

bring suit when these people. who have

Another sore spot with Colonel
Rogers is that the number OF local
conflicting dates created by the Am
eriean league schedule, Anent that
point he sarcastlcally remarked tho
other day that he could have made up

ranged by Ban Johnson and his loyal
followers. The colonel forgets that
the American league could do nothing
