When the case opened a stipulation
was offered In evidence by which 1t
was agreed hetween the parties that the
legality of the organization Of the Asso-
ciated Press Is not TO be attacked In
the present proceeding, although the
plaintiff reserves his right TO attack II
in another action.
In his argument for the plaintiff Mr..
Tntermyer pointed out that the news
association is organized under a law
providing for tho formation OF fishing
clubs and benevolent societies. The
charter states that it's sole purpose IL

THOSE ATHLETICS AREN'T DEAD
ONES YET, NOT BY A LONG SHOT
puu.ADEI,PuIA. Apr,l 15.

PHILADELPHIA, April IS. -
Now here Is an odd baseball club.
We have been talking all win
ter and feeling sorry because of
the collapse of the great team of
the Athletics and mourning q bit
perhaps for its past greatness, so
it is rather In the form of shock
to find that 1t Is a team that, after
losing two of the greatest pitch
ers the game has ever known, q
marvellous second baseman and
the heaviest smuggling third base
man of the country is still so
good that 1t figures close mp to
the leaders.
The truth Is Mack's team today
figures second to Boston, and SO
close to Chicago and Detroit that
a little luck either way is all the
difference.
Mack has taken entire charge
of the second team of youngsters
and paid most Of his attention to
drilling them, leaving the vets to
go along as they pleased. He has
Kopf and Bostick most
closely, and he is starting
with Murphy on third, Barry
short, Lajoie second, McTnnis
first, with Oldring, Skunk and
Walsh in the outfield.
The catching staff is Schang,
Lapp and Thomas, as usual.
The main problem will be pitch
ing. In Bressler, Mack has a man
who will, In all probability, be
one Of the greatest of the stars
OF. baseball within the next few
years. Possibly this is his year.
There Is some fear among
some Of the athletes that Jack
Barry's wonderful work may be
affected in some degree by the
loss OF his working partner Col
Inns but he seems to be going fair
ly well with Lajoie.
Lajoie may show a flash this
year and ought to hit well.
Oldring is in his last stage as
q ball player ana probably must
give way soon to = younger man.
