MAY ATTACK
BASEBALL TRUST
Legal Fight Planned on Charges
of Violating Sherman Anti
Trust Law.
GATES ISSUES STATEMENT
Claim That Players Are Retrainea
from Going to New League
Under Penalty.

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 31.-That
organized baseball will De attacked as
trust under the sherman antitrust
law and as maintaining blacklist in
case any injunCtions are sought 10 re-
strain players held under the reserve
clause from playing with the Federal
league was indicated by a statement
issued yesterday by Edward Z. Gates
of this city, counsel for the Federal
league.
ANY baseball club that attempts 70
secure an Injunction" said Mr.. Gates,
to restrain n player from paying in
the Federal League must come into
court with clean hands. Otherwise no
matter what contract they may seek
to enforce and no matter how binding
on the face thereof such contract may
be. the court will decline to enter into
the merits of the case and dismiss the
bill in equity at once.
The national commission. if it goes
into court, will Immediately be con-
fronted with two serious propositions:
first, is the commission a trust within
the meaning of 20 Sherman antitrust
act? And is not, l. fact, a blacklist
maintained?"
In discussing the reserve ca ,se-
Mr.. Gates said:
The reserve clause i5.a condition
in the contract between the club and
the player by which the club attempts
to hold the player for nominal sum
of money, and yet not necessarily play
him upon the club with which he has
a contract
Says Reserve Clause is Illegal.
In other words, the clubs, by means
of this reserve clause, can and do say,
We have you under reserve. We will
not play you on our team this year.
We will sell you to another club at a
large profit and they can play you
We maintain that the reserve clause
is Illegal and not binding upon play
ers, lacks mutually, and is against
public policy"
