Defeated the Boys From Baker by
Score of IL to 2

Washburn college had a walk-away
over Baker university in the game Sat

burn ball park. The score was II to
2 in favor of Washburn.
For the game Saturday Smith, new
pitcher, went into the box for Wash
burn. This is the first year of college
ball for Smith, although he played
pretty snappy ball with the Topeka
high school team last year. He played
a good game and viii be allowed to
pitch the return game with the preach

hits were landed off his delivery and
he struck out seven men. Mehl played

La JOie's Case Again Comes Up
For Argument.
Great Array of Legal Talent
Appears at Trial.
BOTH SIDES HEARD.
Attendance at American League
Games Wonderful.
Over 10000 Spectators See
Chicago Cleveland Contest.

Philadelphia, April 2s.-The case Of
the Philadelphia ball club against Ma
roleon La JOie was continued at COM
mon pleas court before Judges Martin,
Ralston and Stevenson Saturday The
action, which was postponed last Sarur-
day, was brought by Col. John l. Rogers
on behalf of the Philadelphia National
league CLUB to restrain the defendant
from playing with the American league
in this city.
The big array of local talent on hand
last week was gain present. Immediate
" after the case was called Mr. Turner
addressed the court on behalf of La Joie.
The counsel opened his address by re-
ferring to the unfair clauses embodied
in the contract which players are prac-
tically 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 a man from
playing ball until he plays with the club
he originally signed with and as far as
his baseball career was concerned he Is
practically bound for life The player.
If he signs a National league contract,
can be put up for sale and sold to the
highest bidder. His lot is to all prr-
poses. the same as the unfortunate
darby In the old days OF slavery.
Col Rogers made private announce
ment that the counsel Of the defendants
had agreed not to touch on the reserve
rule. He said that as Mr. Turner had
argued on the matter he considered it a
breach Of faith and honor. Richard Q.
Dale arose and took the stand vacated
by Mr. Turner. Opening his address. 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 a contract with its several pro
visions for baseball players a contract
which a chancellor would decree the
specific performance Of2' The second
point was. rs this part of the contract
with it's provisions for services, renewal
and discharge, a contract of which a
chancellor would decree specific per-
formance2'' Mr.. Dale emphatically sca-
ted that he was perfectly willing to al
low the case to be decided on clause II,
which gives the club magnates power to
discharge a player after ten days notice.
John G. Johnson wound up the argu-
ments for the compliments Mr.. John
son commended that the contracts were
not harsh and he ridiculed the idea Of
Ia Joie that he could disregard the pro-
visions Of a contract. the terms of which
he knew full well by examination and
long experience When Mr.. Johnson
concluded thee curt held the matter IN
der advisement.

This practice has been going on by

Such use of dynamite is unlawful at

of them bass, have been found floating

Decree Without Emotion.

Phillipsburg, April ga two weeks
term of court has just closed here.
Joseph B. Hinton, who was convicted
of murder in the first degree, for killing
his sweetheart, Maggie Shurts, at
Logan, on the 14th day of last February,
was given the death penalty. In receiv-

This is the first conviction for murder

interest
The judge in commenting upon the
case stated that this peculiar crime is
becoming quite prevalent, and might
eventually necessitate the keeping of
young ladies in close surveillance in ac-

VII Leave Atchison .

Atchison, April 29.-It has been de-
cided to remove the Western Theologi-
cal seminary from Atchison to Kansas
City. A committee has been appointed
by the regents to make arrangements
for it's removal at once For the pres
ent, rooms will be rented in Kansas
City, but later, perhaps next year, a
building of some dimensions will. be
constructed. Removal is made because
it is thought college of this kind can
be conducted more advantageously in
a larger city than in Atchison. The de-
nomination of the seminary is English
Lutheran. 1t came to Atchison from Chi
cago five years ago.
