WHO'S TO DECIDE?
WONDER THE FANS
Courts at Variance on Question
of Legality of the Much
Talked-of Reserve Clause.

While the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
upheld in 1901 the reserve clause and the
provision In baseball contracts relating
TO the ten days notice of release in the
Iajoie case. the federal court has taken
an opposite view on the release notice
clause.
In view of the threats OF possible legal
action over player contracts which, in the
Killifer case. would be brought into the
United States courts, federal decisions
were looked up.
II was found that Judge Dallas, IN the
United States circuit here, refused to en-
,oIn lin Mcclure. the catcher. from
cumming" from the Brooklyn 10 the De-
troit club.
Mcclure late in 1901 signed with Brook
Ivn for 1902. and later contracted TO play
with Detroit. Mcclure in his defence
contended that the Brooklyn contract was
invalid on the ground that the reserve
clause was a violation OF the Sherman
antitrust law.
The court, IN denying the injunction,
cited a United States Supreme Court de-
clsion in which il was held that con-
tract which the plaintiff may abandon at
any time on giving notice is not enforce
ably In equity.

Barrow Gives International
League Men Who Went to
Feds a Chance.

Edward Barrow. president Of the Inter
national League, said Yesterday that the
few players Of the organization who have
Jumped to the Federal League will have
until the opening OF the season to recon
slider their action.
After that date they will he eliminated
as far as the international League is con-
cerned His statement follows:
THE International League will bear the
brunt Of the fight so far as actual com
petition is concerned II the Fcderals
start. but we will not make any attempt
at retaliation so long as competition is
fair. above board and on its merits.
Thus far very few OF our players have
jumped. and those few will have until the
opening Of our season TO think things
over: after that all players will remain
where they are indefinitely. so far as the
International League is concerned.
THE stories being sent out from the
Federal League headquarters regarding
certain players and umpires being signed
are frequently reports made out OF whole
cloth, with the evident intention Of de-
ceiving the ballplayers and cncourag ing
them 10 join the Federal organization.
"As an illustration, I can state that
Brick owens, the umpire whom the Fed
eral League claims tc have signed, was
signed some ten days ago to an Inter
national League contract. l believe that
il is the same way with many players in
both the major and minor leagues claimed
by the Federals."

BAKER SPIES A Joker"
Tells Why Killifer Jumped
Back to the Phillies.

". F. Baker, president OF the Phillies,
issued the following statement after
signing Killifer as told in The Tribune
yesterday:
"Kilhfer signed his contract for three
years with the Philadelphia National
League club yesterday evening. having
consulted his lawyer and also his father,
who is A probate Judge in Michigan He
was advised that the Lajoie decision COW
cred his case exactly and that the Phla-
delpha National League club had prior
claim 10 his services and when this was
pointed out 10 him without any further
consideration he signed his contract with
US and returned 10 the Federal League
the advance money he had received.
IL regard Killifer as one Of the best
ball players in the league. as well as the
most intelligent. and feel that he was
simply carried away for the time being
by the supposedly fattering offer Of the
Federal League"
In expressing the opinion that a Joker
would be found i'm Federal contracts he
said:
MY opinion is that If all the National
League players who contemplate signing
with the Federal League-or have already
signed-will examine the exact meaning
Of their contracts the little old Joker will
be found nesting away there in a COM
Portable position.
We already have agreements with
Becker Seaton. Brennan. Cravath and
RXcy and their contracts will be exc
I
Sherwood Magee signed his contract
last night. and We also have contracts
with Irelan and Jacobs and expect signed
contracts from all the others. They will
be dropping in every day from now on"

THE BALLAD OF HANK MAGUlKE.

THE BALLAD OF HANK mcguire.
Henry Mcguire could walloP em hard
So thew nicknamed him Home Run
Hank
That is, back in the days when hear.'
were free
And the roll grew big in the bank.
But the time had come, as come IL
must, :.
When the batting lamps grew dim,
And the call Of the bushes was heard In
the land,
With especial regard to him.
The bases were filled when he came to
bat,
On that Joyous and glsdsome day,
With the team far behind in the last OF
the ninth,
And the victory gliding away.
But older than Hank was the man on
the mound,
A twirler of merit and worth,
Who was pitching his head off on one
last trial,
To stick in a big league berth.
He had shut out the foe until Hank
came up,
With a bit of a smile and leer,
And sewed up the game with home
run drive
Der the sign of a famous beer.
So the pitcher was through and he lett
the park,
With his head dropping low in
shame,
And the man he met was Hank Mcguire,
Aglow in his glory and fame.
Don't take it SO hard" said Hank,
with a grin,
But the pitcher was wroth at his lot,
And announced his release to a far off
land,
Where the fat pay checks grew not.
"The boss was sure riled when he told
me to quit"
Gust sore at defeat, | guess"
"Perhaps you would like to know what
he said?"
And the innocent Hank answered,
yes"
"I can stand for these bonehead bush
league boys
All hitting you hard said the boss;
4 can stand for these youngsters
pounding the pill
And pocket the gain or loss.
But when an old has-been like Hank
Mcguire
Can waIlop EN- into the stand
It's you for the minors, Bill, my boy;
Get out Of the league. You're
