PHIILIE LAWYERS DECLARE
THAT THEY ARE "GRNTlilED"

Philadelphia, April l0.-George
Wharton Pepper and samuel NJ. Glenn
emit. Jr.. counsel for the Philadelphia
National league club today made me
following statement in regard to inc
Klnfer decision
we feel gratifled at the decision
because the contention of the fhlla-
delphia club is sustained in every
particular. In our position before the
court was that the reserve clause OF
the 1913 contracts created legal re-
lationship between the player ana lhe
club which no third person could
lawfully disturb
we conceded that If a player Vio-
lated reserve clause the club could
not compel him TO perform but we
insisted that until the club ana play
er had agreed to disagree Our friends
of the Federal league must keep hands
off
ut will be perceived that the same
conduct that dsentitles the Federal
league to equitable relief also gives
the Philadelphia club the double right
TO sue for damages for past injury
and to seek protection by injunction
from any future Interference with itS

BAUMGARDNER IS
NOT SOUGHT, FED
ATTORNEY SAYS


s. Louis, Mo- April TO- Rumors
that George Baumgardner a pitcher
for the st. Louis Americans. had
Jumped to the Kansas city club of
the Federal league We're denied to-
night by c. G. Madison. attorney for
the Federal league team Madison
said he was not trying to sign Baum
gardner, and that he was waiting for
the next move Of organized baseball.
Baumgardner earlier in the season
signed contract with the Kansas
city Fcderals. but refused to report to
that club Later he signed a contract
with the St Louis Americans.
It's organized baseballs next
move, said Madison I'VE will move
after they do and as in a checker
game we will jump some Of their
players"
Madison said thai the decision Of
the court at Grand Rapids. Mich, in
the Killlfer case was a victory for the
new league. He said that an danger
of the ST. Louis Americans forcing the
return Of Pitcher Earl Hamilton, who

UNCERTAIN WHETHER FEDS
WILL CARRY CASE FURTHER

indianapolis. April 10.-Whether
further proceedings would be insti-
tuted against william Rinifer Edward
E. Gates. general counsel for the
Federal league would not say tonight
lie issued the following statement.
II regard the decision as a victory
for the Federal league in that it sus-
tans our contention in regard TO the
reserve clause and that the 1919 con-
tract of organized baseball is not en-
forceable because of lack of mutual
ity on account of the ten-day release
clause.
THE Kiilifer case Of 1914 with
Philadelphia had the ten-day clause
stricken out in the case at Grand
Rapids, so that while, Of course, the
regular 1914 form Of contract of or
gained baseball was not involved IN
the Killifer case. nevertheless the
opinion of the court would cover any
contract containing a ten-ddy clause.
The ten-day clauses contained in the
regular form of Federal league con
tracts for 1914 were stricken out IN
all cases whore players of known ana
recognized ability were signed

Sir Thomas Upton has spent mil

b3ttered silver that cost less than $500

But the cup still represents the SUI

to be priced.
The trophy was offered by the Royal
Yacht squadron, not by Queen Vic
toria. as has been often said, for a
race between boats of all nations.
Commodore Stevens, of the. New York
acht club. captured the trophy and
gave it to hiss club as a perpetual chal-
