ed that if Judge HOLSTER grants the
application for a permanent injunction
the postponement will be for some weeks
SO as to give time to carry the case
through the circuit court and thence to
the supreme court for final settlement
If Judge HOLSTER shall refuse an in

is not likely to be for more than one

the Chicago club recently traded to
New York along with Strang and Gan

latest two big leaguers who are report
ed TO have Jumped over to the Amer
lean league. 1t was reported from Elk
hart, Ind, last night that Criger had
signed to play with the Boston Amer
lean league club at a. handsome increase
over the salary the Messrs. Robson
paid him last summer. Elxhart Is Cri-
gers home town. He is married. has
several children and last spring built a
new home for himself. "A correspondent
at Elkhart interviewed Cr1ger and he
refused to either confirm or deny the
report Garvin, whose home is in Texas.

the coming season and has signed a con-
tract which calls for q. salary of $40 per
month. This is an increase of 500
month over what he drew in Chicago
last year.

sticking to that organization. the home
management will have to dig down
deep in order to be able to present any

can establish his innocence, as he can
bring IN civilian witnesses, a privilege
which was denied him in the court mar
