WASHINGTON, April 23-President
Ben Shibe, of the Philadelphia cluf of

meet President Ban Johnson, of the
American league, to consult with him as
to the action to be taken in the La Joie
injunction case. Mr.. Shibe declares that
he will take the case to the United States
supreme court if necessary. He left for
Philadelphia tonight with Mr.. Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson said that they would fight

them except at a heavy cost.

agreement do not seem to have been con-
sldered. They were certainly material,
Tor under them the contract became sub
stantially one for life upon one side ana
only ten days on the other. In Laioie's
case he was obliged to sign with the Phil
adelphia National League club or quit
playing ball, as the old league. with the
national agreement, was the dominating
power in baseball at that time The de-
eision by the Pennsylvania court holds
that the ball player is benefited by this
contract. In Lajoie's case he received
y, 400 year from the Philadelphia Ma
tioral League club, and with a competitor
in the field his salary is now $500.
If the Pennsylvania decision is good
law, then the American league will have
by far the better of it because we have
contracts now with all of those players
who came from the National league, and
as to almost all of them the National
league has failed to maintain even its
legal right in its contracts, even if such
contracts existed"
