STATE AND FEDERAL
COURTS DO not AGREE

Philadelphia, Jan. 21.--While the
PENNSYLVANIA supreme court upheld
the reserve clause and the provision
In baseball contracts relating 70 the
ten days notice Of release, the federal
court has taken an opposite view ON
the release notice clause
In view Of the threats of legal ac-
ton over players contracts, which in
the Klifer case. would be brought
into the United states courts, federal
decisions reveal that Judge Dalls in
the United states circuit court here
refused to enjoin Jim Mcclure, the
catcher, from jumping from the
brooklyn TO the Detroit club. Mcclure
in 1901. signed with BROOKLYN for
1902, and later contracted to play
with Detroit Mcclure contended that
the Brooklyn contract was invalid on
the ground thar the reserve clause
was a violation Of the sherman anti
trust law.
The court. in denying the injunc-
ton, cited "A United States supreme
