Sporting N eWs
BASEBALL WAR IS
. STARTED IN COURT
ORGANIZED MAGNArES BEFORE
JUDGE Lands ON cHARogS
FILED ~ FEDS.

Chicago, Jan. 20.--Forces OF organix-
ed baseball, attacked by the Federal
league as q combination operating In
violation of the Sherman antitrust law,
went before Judge Lands In the United
States district court today to fight
motion for an injunction sought by thd
Federals.
The length Of the hearing Is profile
NAUTICAL. If Judge Lands decides to
call on any of the forty nine signcrs of
affidavits as oral witnesses. the hearing
1t Is expected, will continue for several
days.
Briefly, the facts in the suits are as
follows:
The Federal league seeks to dissolve
organized baseball, which operates un-
der the so-called national agreement,
alleging it violates the antitrust law.
Organized baseball includes practically
every league in the nation, exclusively
Of the Federal organization.
The Federals also seek to enjoin the
individual defendants from interfering
with players now under contract to the
Federal organization, and also ask that
the contracts with players made Nv
the defendants under the national
20 ~SAASAie w uSSldISu null tlu WIN.
II the Federals are successful III the
quest for temporary injunction, steps
will Immediately be taken to obtain a
permanent order.
Should contracts be declared null
and void, it would make free agents
of all players except such as are now
signed by equitable contracts.
The defense OF organized baseball
that 1t does not operate in violation "
the antitrust law will be based on Sec
ton six of the Clayton act recently
passed by congress, it was reported to-
day, The section which attorneys for
the defense are expected to cite reads:
That the labor of human being Is
not commodity or article OF com.
merce." As the Federals bill alleges
that organized baseball is trust In
restraint of trade and commerce." the
attorneys for the defendants will con-
tend. It was said, that as organized
baseball deals only in labor, 1t cannot
violate the law.

A piece Of glass may feel like

But 1t loses It's value when you
turn the light ON 1t.
The article some dealers tell
you is "just as good" as the adj
vertised brand you ask for, is the
glass dollar of commerce.
1t usually shrinks In value in

Reputable dealers never offer
substitutes.
Careful buyers never accept

show inclination towards the
substitution practice.

that it was remedied.
Just so, when the people of a backward
district come to learn what it takes in the
way of grade of certificates building and
grounds, system of heating and ventila-
ton, library, globe, maps, and other equip
ment to make standard school, and espec-
tally when they find their neighbors in the
next district have a school coming within
this definition, they, too, will insist on hav-
ing one. If to the knowledge of the require
ments and to the spirit of neighborhood
pride can be added a small bonus from the
state, the results are more striking still
The system of rural school standardized
ton has been worked out more satisfactorily
and more completely in Illinois than any
where else. There the state recognizes two
classes of country schools, "standard' and
superior" The requirements of each class
set forth in pamphlet published by the
State Department of Public Instruction, and
two rural school supervisors connected with
the department spend their entire time
ferring with county superintendent, visiting
schools with them, and through them pass

approval. Each school receiving recognition

Mr.. Holmes says: "In the United States
on the average in every three families one

a back-to-the-land' movement is needed for
economic reasons and to increase the food
supply has been much discussed in these
recent years of high food prices. The move

and regarded as national calamity, and the
contrary aspect of the matter has hardly
been noticed This contrary aspect is
presented by a recent writer.
'The movement back to the land, such
it is, has an aspect outside of the field OF
agriculture, as the foregoing analysis amply
shows. This aspect is composed of the
effects the individuals who participate in
the movement. These effects are economic
and relate also to health, recreation, pleasure,
and the elements of what we call living,
which not exclusively economic. From
these points of view alone encoura cement of
the movement can offer Justification
''On the other hand, from the point of view
of national self-efficiency in agricultural
production, the fact still is that the national

the front door of the school house.
Just was the case with consolidation
in Indiana a map of Illinois showing the

state reveals the fact, that the desire for
standardization is contagious and that the
