 Although the opinion rendered by Chancellor J. P. Henderson yesterday in the contention between the Pitts burg Athletic Company and Howard Camnitz. an agent of the Federal lea que, in which formerly temporary restraining order had been granted, which prohibited Camnitz from entic- ing or communicating with members of the Pittsburg ball club made per maaent the injunction against Cam nitz. yet the agent of the Federal league found solace in the fact that the court had ruled that the contract between player and club as exhibited in the case, was not one of mutuaHty in law. and that had a player been the plaintiff in an action to render the contract null and void it would have been so nullihed
 The opinion rendered in the case was an exhaustive resume of the base ball situation as it had been present. ed by counsel for both sides. Judge Henderson took the view that the intervention of Camnitz. as disin- terested outsider, did not bring be- fore the court the validity of the con tracts between player and club, there fore in equity he was not entitled to whatever might have been gained h, declaring the contracts void.
 The injunction being made perma- nent. established the precedent that agents of other bail clubs would not be permitted to entice or make bids for players here under contract to other teams that might be engaged in spring practice here, and therefore was a victory for the Pittsburg Attn letic Company. Attorneys for the Pittsburg club said relative to the decision:
 "lt has served the present purpose We have signally won the point Tn contention. When the validity or contracts between club and player gets into the courts, if such occasion should arise. we will deal with that subject along other lines, and believe that we can show that the contracts are valid ones"
 Camnitz said of the decision;
 q have won my point, and that IS that the contracts between ball play CTS and clubs, as now made, are not binding contracts. The players nave the right to break the supposed con tract at any time they choose. We have established that there is no mu- tuality to the contract, that it is bind ingx only on one side. and therefore we feel that we are the victors in this case. The fact that I, as a third par ty. did not win ol the injunction, is nothing as compared to the fact that l have established the point for which I contended Every player who holds contract now will realize that he is not legally bound to the terms of the contract, because of clause No r which gives the club the right to ter minate the contract at will, after q ten days notice, but does not give the player an equal right
