TON SOUGHT TO ENJoIN
CATCHER KILLER FROM
PLAYING WITH THE PHILLiEs.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Grand Rapids, Mich, April TO-
Judge Clarence w. Sessions, in the
United States district court today de-
MED the application of the Chicago
Federal league club for an Injunction
enjoining Catcher William Killifer,
Jr., from playing with the Philadel-
phia National league club. The judge
denied the application on the ground
that. the Chicago Federal league club
did not come into the courts with
clean hands,
The decision also holds the reserve
clause is not valid.
The decision holds that the con-
tract of January s, 1914, by which
Killffer agreed to play with the Chi
cago Federal league club, and the
contract of January 20, which he made
upon jumping back to the Philadel-
phia National league are 'in form,
valid and binding upon the parties
thereto Killifer is scored for max
ing the contracts, the decision read
ing:
"This record shows that the defen-
dant Killifer is baseball player Of
unique, exceptional and extra ordinary
skill and experiences. Unfortunately
the record also shows that he is a
person upon whose pledged word lit
tie or no reliance can be placed and
who for gain to himself, neither
scrupIes nor hesitates to disregard and
violate his express engagements and
agreements
