Philadelphia Nationals, had signed to
play with the Philadelphia Ameri-

into the County Court, asking for an
Injunction restraining Lajoie from
PLAYING with the Americans.
The court refused the Injunction
and the case was carried to the SUI

the reserve clause.
The Players Fraternity will not re-

Knabe announced he had eight big
