Buffalo. N. Y. July 2l.-Organized baseball suffered legal defeat today when Justice Herbert P. Bissell granted the motion to vacate the injunction se- cured by the Chicago American league baseball club restraining Hal Chase from playing with the Buffalo Federal league club.
 Regarding the To-day clause Justice Bissell in holding that the injunction was unenforcible. said
 "The plaintiff can terminate the con tract at any time on 10 days notice. The defendant is bound to many obli- cations under the remarkable provis- ions of the national agreement If the plaintiff insists upon the fulfill ment of any clause exceeding the con stract provisions the defendant can be held for term of years.

SIX ERRORS AND LUCK ENABLES THE BARONS TO DEFEAT LOOKOUTS

New York, July 21.--The Baseball Play CTS fraternity won a victory here today and the threatened strike of National and American league players, members of the fraternity, was averted when the case of Player Clarence O. Kraft was settled to the satisfaction of the players organ iza ton. The incident is considered closed
 Charles NJ. Ebbets. president of the Brooklyn Baseball club of the National league, was the magnate who brought peace. Ebbets announced the settlement of the case al the meeting of the Amer ican league representatives who were pre- paring either to prevent the strike or re- taliate upon the fraternity for its strike oider. Ebbets, who is also stockholder in the Newark International League club, of which his son. Charles H. Ebbets, Jr., is president, announced that the Newark club officials had paid the Nashville club o: the Southern association S250o in set tlement of the latters claims on Kraft, and that he would report and play with Newark at Providence in tomorrow's game.
 In addition, the Newark club agreed to observe all the stipulations of Kraft s contract as originally in force before he was ordered to go to Nashville by the rational commission, besides paying him five weeks back salary for the period he has been under suspension for not report ing to the Nashville club.
 kraft's contract with Newark calls for a salary of $450 per month, and both the l0-days notice of release clause and the disability clause were stricken out before the document was signed. The Nashville r1 nad faf-{ {tu al o-a of f,1o oir,ae on Kraft and s1000 in addition as a bonus for accepting the Newark clubs terms.
 Nashville Gets Bonus
 Under the Newark club contract Kraft receives s150 more per month than he would as a Nashville player, which was a crucial point in the controversy. Ebbets denied any pressure mad been brought to bear upon him or the officers of the Newark club in making the deal. He said that he had taken the initiative in the patter without being influenced by either the National or American leageu mag mates.
 While the National league did not as- seinble to discuss the proposed strike of the players, as did the younger major league.s it is understood that President John K Tener was in touch with the sit ustion and the other officials and club owners were cognizant of Ebbets' plan to tiu litS toitIoNefSy. I~dlOldl lcdSu Sue powers who could be reached appeared even better pleased with the outcome of the affair than did the American league officials.
 President Ban Johnson said after the meeting adjourned:
 The American league was in no wise concerned in the Kraft case. so far as 1t affected the Brooklyn Boston, Newark Snd Nashville clubs. We were drawn in when the Players fraternity officers issued what was virtually an ultimatum to our clubs and players I am glad that the case has been amicably settled
