SAYS LEAGUE
STOLE TEAM

"Bunk. That's what it Is.
They stole the franchise from
Tacoma" declared Maj. 8. A.
Huntington today, who represent
ed the Commercial club yesterday
in an effort to keep the ball team
In Tacoma.
They simply stole the team
outright and took advantage of
the constitution to oust Rother-
mel and make a tool of him.
They wanted the franchise SO
they could not be forced into q
coast league.
Last year Shredder. Dugdale
and McCredie were for a coast
league, and Cohn, Wattelet and
Bob Brown against it. If coast
league was formed it would leave
Spokane out.
Nov they can give the fran
chise to North Yakima and thus
keep a coast league out. Also
they've got $4,000 worth of
players, they can sell. 1t means
that Tacoma will not have any
more baseball" 4
Ed. N. Watkins this morning
said that Fielder Jones, president
of the league, told him Tacoma
could not get back into the
league, that the dropping of Ia
coma was final.

(By United Press Leased Wtre.)
NEW YORK, May 2s.-The
governments fight to curb the
coffee trust met with a serious
setback today when the U. S. cir
cult court here refused to enjoin
the trust from disposing of $780,
600 bags of coffee now stored in
Brooklyn.
The suit is being heard before
Judges Lacombe, Cox, Ward and
Noyes and is directed against
Herman Sielcken, alleged leader
of the trust.
The department of justice had
asked for en- order enjoining Sfel-

coffee as it was alleged that the
coffee was stored SO that the sup
ply would be limited and the
price forced up.
