ing the reading Of the adavits and the arguments yes
erday He accused of Justification of the records the
mutilaon of the books and with other doings which
amost reached the stage of forgery" Of his at
torneys put it yesterday in court.
1t was shown that pages had been torn out of the
minute book and typewriter sheets pasted therein carry
ing, it is said other and fraudulent reports of the meet
ngs Of the league Adavits to this effect were made by
Clyde Williams and Walter Wilmot
Judge Poindexter issued permanent Injunction
against Lucas, preventing him from organizing league
with national protection in Spokane because of the fact
that he used his position president Of the P N L. to

1t is criticism of the official actions of Lucas by the
court which may stamp him not to be trusted by
those who are risking money in baseball
Tonight, in San Francisco Marvin Hart and Jack
Johnson, the white and the coored heavyweighs who
aspire for championship honors, will clash in a 2Oround

just received that II beat this fellow Dan Mccarthy for
Is rounds and the referee called it a draw
The kid says he could have put Mccarthy out any time
he wanted to after the second round but thought he would
win anyway. Too bad guesser.
The kid announces that he is matched again with Nc
Carthy for $3.50 and then he will back to Spokane to
train for the fight with Kid Forbes Whitesh Mont
