The dissolution of the injunction

The full text of the opinion has
not been given out, but it is under
stood the reversal of Judge Foel by
the appellate court was based on the
ten-day clause, which the first judge
declared was binding.
As usual, both sides to the contro-
versy claim the decision as victory.
How both can win is hard for the
layman to determine. 1t appears a
clean-cut victory for the Federal
League, just as all former decisions
have been all to the benefit of organ

The statement of Ban johnson re-
garding the decision is certainly con-
Trajectory. The boss of organized
ball says the decision will have no
effect on further jumping. He asserts
it hasn't opened the gates particle.
Ban has contended that the ten-day
clause was fine and benefcient lit

players.
But he says the decision will not
hurt the American League because
nearly all players are now working
under contracts which. do not en-
brace the ten-day clause. That is a
confession right there that the ten
day clause would not bear rigid in
vestigation.
This decision applies only to the
Johnson case, but is will undoubtedly
encourage the Federal leaders, and
help them in any further raids on the
two older leagues.
