ATTORNEYS AT LAW
FEDS WON JOHNSON CASE.
Injunction Lifted Against the PitcheI Who Jumped from Reds to Kansas City.


 The Appellate Court of Illinois came 10 the rescue of the Federal League recently and entered an order re- lieving George Johnson, former pitcn- sr for the Cincinnati National League Club, from the legal ban which pre- vented his playing with the Kansas Eity Federals.
 In announcing the ruling the judges lid not discuss the ten-day clause of he contract between Johnson and the National League, but contended them selves with an order reversing the de- cree of Judge Foell of the Superior Court and remanding the case, with directions that the injunction be dis solved.
 On agreement of counsel Judge Foell postponed complying with the order to dissolve the injunction until the Town, only the oral announcement having been made today. This was agreed upon to give counsel for the Cincinnati Club an opportunity to re- quest rehearing before the higher courts.
 It was not disclosed. on what points the lower court was reversed. In the lower court, when counsel sought to have the injunction dissolved recent ly. much stress was laid on the al- legged inequality of the ten-day clause, which they contended. bound the player without hampering the club.
 Judge Foell ruled that the contract could not be affirmatively enforced. but held the negative covenant by which Johnson contracted not to play with another team than Cincinnati was sufficient basis on which to en- join him from playing with Kansas City.
 Baseball men jumped to the conclu- sion that the reversal carries with il :. condemnation of the ten-day clause and there was much rejoicing in the Federal camp.
