IMPORTANT BASE BALL DECISION.
Reserve Clause i'm Contracts with
Players Declared Valid

Philadelphia, April 21.-The supreme
SQUIRT today reversed the decision of
the court of common pleas in the case
Of NapolieonLaJoie versus the Phila-
selphia National League Base Ball
Club. This decision upholds h valid
ity OF the reserve clauses in the Ma
tional League contracts. LaJoie, who
formerly played second base for the
National League Club in this city,
signed with the Philadelphia American
League Club foe the season Of 1901 and
1902. hi Philadelphia Base Ball Club.
through Treasurer L. Rogers entered
suit to restrain LaJoie from playing
with the American League. The lower
SQUIRT held that the reserve clause was
illegal and Colonel Rogers carried the
case to the supreme court where the
decision was reversed. If this decision
stands it Will affect all players who
were subject 20 the reserve rule and
who are now playing with the Ameri-
can League.
