Although Barney Dreyfus of the Plttsburg National Baseball Club will exhibit in court in support of the injunction he secured against inter. ference from $. II. Camnitz, an agent of the Federal League. from inter- fering with his players, the contract under which his players are bound, he will only submit to the judge in private the inspection of the salary terms of such contract.
 This point was thoroughly threshed out yesterday morning in chancerv court before Judge Henderson, where the issue is being tried. The con. tracts are not here, and the court gave President Dreyfus of the Pitts. | burg Nationals until next Thursdav | morning to bring them into court. There is just time for him to make the trip to Pittsburg to get the origi- nals of the contracts.
 Attorneys Rector and Sawyer. | counsel for the Pittsburg Nationals, | stated they had no desire to with | hold the contracts from the court, 1 but that the terms of the contracts between the Pittsburg club and the players was matter of private ! a,td I,fln tle himself would be given opportunity to inspect the salaries, they did not want the information to be given to attorneys for Camnitz or to be made a matter of court record.
 Attorneys Wilmington and Ryan, representing Camnitz, claimed that the salaries were most important in sustaining the position taken by the Pittsburg club when the restraining order was asked for, and that they contracts in complete form be ex, hibited in the case.
 We don't care about the consid- eration in the contract only in so far as 1t will go to the merits of this case,' said Mir. Wilmington, "but we do contend that the consideration is important in so far as by that being offered in proof we maintain that we can prove that the consideration is so inadequate and so meagre, as compared with what the players should receive from the Pittsburg team, through comparison with what they might receive from the Federal League or from other clubs except for an understanding in re- straint of trade. that we believe they are invalid contracts, and to prove them invalid we must know the con sideration.
 We would like to prove further that the players could make far bet ter contracts except for an agree ment and understanding between the Pittsburg club and other clubs which is a restraint of trade even to the end of using blacklist to force such meagre terms as may be shown in the contracts if they are exhitH ited in full and complete form here" 1 In brief the result is that form of the contract was offered in court in | blank, and that will be the founda- tion of the support for the injunction. | and whatever may be required fur | ther will not be an exhibit in the case for public inspection, but as stated by Colonel Rector, of counsel
 for Pittsburg. will be submitted to
 the court to further the cause of equity, but will not be an exhibit of
 the private transaction of the players l with the club.
 Judge Henderson furthered some
 thoughts along the line of contract law when he read from some notes he had made. the following: 'In Frank and Dugan vs. Harold. Fit is decided Every person not sub | ject to criminal restraint has right to work where he sees fit, and no 1 other person has right to prevent his doing so, or without his consent. even to endeavor to persuade him to quit
