Heavy Legal Artillery Unmbered by Outlaws and Baseball War Is on in Earnest-Bil of Complaint Filed
 In United States District Court

Chicago, January 1.-The Federal league on organized baseball, filing an antitrusr suit against the leading bodies operating under the national agreement, including the National league. the American league and the national commission. The suit, it is said, threatens the entire fabric of organized baseball, carrying not only the possibility that the intricate organiza- tion be declared illegal and that the inter- league agreements be dissolved. but that the 10000 ball players in major and minor leagues be declared free agents.
 The bill of complaint was filed in the United States district court. Judge Kene- saw M. Landis set January 20 for hear ing. The bill asserts that the national agreement, under which organized base ball exists, was made for the purpose of so dominating players that their en- Eagements by clubs outside the alleged combination would be difficult If not i'm possible. Eleven prayers for relief are included, as follows:
 T. That the national agreement and the rules of the national commission be de- clared illegal and the defendants yAnjoined from operating under them.
 2 That the defendants be declared to constitute a combination, conspiracy and monopoly In contrapention of the anti trust statutes. and that they be enjo,ned from further doing business as a part f said monopoly.

BASKETBALL GAMES AT HIGH SCHOOL GYM.
Juniors Walloped the. Paul Hayne School-Sophs
 Defeat Seniors

The Juniors celebrated the entrance of the Junior High school into the Junior division of the boys basketball league at the Central High school yesterday after noon by handing them overwhelming defeat by score of s6 to 8. The score does not indicate the consistent fight that the Paul Hayne boys put up. AL though completely outclassed from the start, they showed an abundance of fight ing spirit. Only two field goals were thrown by the conquered youths. but they took advantage of the numerous fouls made by their opponents and pulled their score up. Griffin was the "horo'' for the Junior High boys, making seven of the eight points made by his team. For the Juniors Jones. Kennedy and Reeves all played consistently. They eluGed their guards and shot goals almost at will. Kennedy led his teammates in the SCOT ing line, making a total of IA points Jones followed with 12 and Reeves with 10
 The Senior Sophomore game was more hoty contested. the Seniors surprising the Sophomores. who barely acquired a victory by the count of 21 to 15. In this game, the Seniors, weakened by the loss of their two star forwards, Ehlbert and Bradford, were expected to be an easy task for the Sophomores, but they de- veloped some good material and gave the Sophomores an interesting game.
 Fox played a good game for the Sopho- mores, registering six field goals while Lassiter put four through the basket. Howle made his first appearance and threw three baskets.

One designed to pre- vent secret shipments of contraband, would authorize the President to de- signate ports where customs collec- tors would be compelled to inspect all goods before they were loaded for for eign ports on ships of American regis ter or vessels to be acquired by the United States under the pending bill.

 New York, January 5.-Organized base ball will fight the suit begun by the Fed eral league in the United States court in Chicago, President Ban Johnson of the American league declared here tonight.
 This suit is an off-shoot of the Galla- gher congressional resolution a few years ago to investigate the baseball trust which was pigeonholed,' Johnson said. ''We said then we would come to a con- gressional investigation and we feel the same about it now.
 'Of course, we will fight the suit Or ganized baseball is not . trust. Anybody can buy team in organized baseball or anybody can operate an independent league. We have no desire to prevent anyone from entering the baseball busi- ness as long as they respect our con- tracts. i am afraid of only one thing, and that Is that the Federal league will tlow up before the suit can be heard''
 Johnson alluded to the suit as a new Federal league publicity campaign

According to the laws of war, any
civilian who is found with arms in
his possession is liable to be shot
without mercy Although this seems
very severe rule, it is absolutely nee
essary for the safeguarding of the

The rules of war say that no men
will be recognized as combatants un-
less they wear distinguishing badge,
which can be easily recognized If 1t
were not for this, any number of men
could at any time band themselves
together, and say they were belliger-

invading troops would safeguard them
selves against surprises by killing
every man in villages through which
they marched.
