NEW YORK ENJoINS BALL PACT
Serves PuIIiam with Injunction Re
s~training Him from Ratify-
ing Treaty.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.-That peace in
base ball is still far off was proved tonight
when Harry Pulliam of the National league
was served with an injunction restraining
him from ratifying the agreement reached
Dy the joint peace conference last week.
The injunction was issued by court of
common pleas No. 5 at the instance of the
New York Base Ball club of the National
league.
Mr.. Pulliam issued a statement tonight,
in which he said:
LAS a concession from the American
league we secured:
II. The recognition of the reserve rule,
the bulwark or base ball,
20. The inviolability of players contracts
from now on.
ga non-conhicting schedule of games
In cities in which there are two clubs.
Z. The restriction Of territory from now
on. af'
ut was mutually agreed that a uniform
system of playing rules be adopted, also
that a new national agreement should be
entered upon which should place base ball
on a firm basis. The American league Is
here and nothing the Cincinnati confer
ence did put any more life into It's cor
porate body than II had. Ih committee
at the outset agreed to wipe off the slate
contracts for previous years and only dis
cuss players known to have signed two
contracts for 1903. Under this we awarded
nine players to the National league and six
to the American. The governing idea OF
the National league committee was the
restoration of the reserve rule and the
ending of contract breaking for the flu
ture.'

about twenty miles an hour when the col
lision came. The postal car Of the pas
senger train was derailed. but the pas
senger coaches did not leave the track and
the occupants escaped injury.
1t is charged that a messenger boy named
Turner. who was in the block tower when
No. 10 came along, hearing the engineers
whistle for clear tracks. pulled a lever Civ
ing a clear signal. The operator had, Il is
explained, previously set the signal at dan
ger.
While his attention was being devoted to
communicating with the succeeding block
station the boy, it is alleged, pulled the
lever that gave the oncoming train the
signal that it had a clear track ahead and
the tower operator was not aware of what
was done until the crash came.
