BROOKLYN FEpERALS BREAK
 CAMP NEXT SATURDAY
Bradley Still Missine-Catcher HiIder-
 brand in Columbia.

Manager Bradley did not return Saturday to the Brooklyn Feds train ing camp at Columbia, s. C. The pilot was expected back not later than the afternoon, but when the train rolled in from the direction in which he went, Bradley was not aboard. His itinerary remains a secret, but the dope around the camp is that he has some good player on the string and that when he returns there will be an important announcement to be made
 The prevailing opinion now is that Bradley has not gone after Seaton; at least that he has not gone to Shreve- port, but may have gone elsewhere re- garding a deal for Seaton. Hilderbrand and Watkins. released by the club be- cause they are signed with New Lon don, Conn.,, of the Eastern Association are still in Columbia They will re- main there until Bradley returns.
 The morning practice is devoted principally to batting and fielding. Then Hoffman picked two teams and let them play for a few innings. The nine composed largely of colts made it hot for the vets. When time was called the colts had a good lead. It was really not a game at all. as only a few innings were played and these merely to round out the rough places
 The members of the Camp are in great physical shape. The team will probably leave Columbia one week from last Saturday for PittsDurg.

MAY NOT ATTACH
 RESERVE CLAUSE
Federal Officers Hold 1t Illegal

Decks were cleared in the United States District Court Saturday for the first real legal battle between organ tzed baseball and the Federal League. William F. Rillifer, the catcher, who began his baseball career with Michi- gan teams and worked his way to the majors, was the storm center. The question for the court to decide was whether Killifer is the property of the Chicago team of the Federal League or belongs to the Philadelphia
 Last season killifer was with Phila- delphia- During the past winter he signed a Federal League contract; then he renounced the independent organization and signed a new con tract with the Philadelphia Club. AS a result, the Federal League started injunction proceedings, in the United States District Court to restrain kllll- fer from playing with Philadelphia The petition also asks that Killifer be declared the property of the Chicago Federals.
 The reserve clause, sometimes termed the bulwark of organized base ball, may not be attacked by the at torneys for the ,petitIoning club. all though officials of the Federal League have held the clause to be illegal.

TIP TOPS REJOICING.
Because Pitcher Seaton May Join
 Them

The little GIooms that have been lowering around the camp of the Brooklyn Fe6erals were dispelled by the army of Joys, when it was learn ed that there was a possibility of Tom Seaton, the former Philadelphia pitch CT, reporting to the Tip Tops. While nothing definite could be learned of the conference between Robert B Ward, President of the Brookfeds, and Charles Weegham, head of the Chifeds, in Chicago. 1t was broadly hinted that Seaton would be turned over to Brad ley.
 Although Ward and Weegham, head held a conference in Chicago regard ing the disposition. of Seaton, there were conflicting reports of the meet ing. One had it that Seaton would join the Tip Tops, while another was going the rounds that the Quaker hur- Ter would remain with the Chicago Feds and that Brooklyn would be given several players in exchange for him.
 It was said that Seaton would pos sibly be turned over to the Brookfeds in accordance with the promise made Ward when he entered the league. The Tip Tops do not need any more players, unless they are pitchers, as they already have an abundance of infieiders and outfielders. What Bradley needs is a few good reliable hurlers.

Organized Ball Gains Permanent ln-
 junction.

Organized baseball won a victory in Hot Springs Saturday when Chancel- Tor J. P. Henderson rendered g. de- cision in the injunction proceedings be- tween the Federal league and the Pittsburgh National league club mak ing permanent the injunction granted previously to the National league club against interference by the Federal league with players under contract with the Pittsburg club. The decision came after a three day hearing in chancery court, with a big array of legal talent representing $. H. Camnitz of the Pittsburg Federal league club on one side and the Pittsburgh Ma tional league club on the other.
 The courts decision and the lengthy review of the case. totaling about 4,000 words, holds that a baseball contract is property and entitled to consideration as property rights that no person has a right to induce a. third party to break a contract; that interference with labor contracts will be stopped by injunction; that persuading a per-
