Tho LuJoie case was decided in tho

l.ajoie. Il member of the Philadelphia
Nationals, hau signed to play with tho
i'hilouelphio Americans, and the Ma
tonals TOOK tho case into the county
court, asking for nm injunction restrain
ing Lajoie from playing with the
Americans. The court refused the in
junction, and the case was carried TO
the Supreme Court This tribunal, i'll
reversing the lower court, held, all
seven justices concurring, that tho re-
serve clause was binding on tho players,
and that the fact that the employing
club reserved the right TO dismiss a
player on ten days notice did not de-
stroy the mutually of the agreement.
While the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court upheld the reserve clause and the
provision in baseball contracts realizing
TO tho ten days notice of release, the
Federal Court has taken an opposite
view on the release notice clause.
