Lands TAKES SUIT
UNDER ADJUSTMENT
Case of Federals Against Organ
lied Base Ball Now in Hands
Of Federal Judge,
TwENTY DAYS no THE pEFENsE

CHICAGO. Jan. 23--United states Dis
trict Judge X NJ. lands took under adj
visement tonight the prayer of the Fed
eral league for a temporary injunction
against the leading bodies OF Organized
Base Ball to restrain them from inter
fering with its players and from prosecut-
ing the several suits against them
Final argument on the motion was
made by f. H. Gates Of Indianapolis for
the plaintiff and the court then granted
the defendants twenty days in which to
file answers to the original bill Of COM
plant. Should the court grant or deny
the temporary Injunction asked. the case
win be tried later on It's merits.
Gates Sums UP.
Gates summing up the case for the
Federal league charged that the defend
ants constituted monopoly in restraint
OF trade of commerce.: referred TO the
intervening suits OF Lee Magee and others
in support of the involuntry servitude
charge and dwelt on the workings OF
e.reserve and ten-day clauses.
Gates made fervid argument in ref
utation Of the charge Of entering court
with ''unclean hands" He cited the Mar
guard case to show that his clients prac-
ticed fair play. He said that the first
question asked by the Federals when the
Cantillon peace proposition was made In
dicated their desire for reform m Organ
lied Base Ball. This question was lis the
draft to be eliminated" Gates asserted.
President Gilmore. he said, les in
sisted that any treaty of peace must in
fclude full protection for players and
umpires.
The final days argument left unsettled
the question of the courts jurisdiction
and the other phases of the case which
the defense holds may result in victory
for its side. These phases include the
charge of "unclean hands and its appeal
against tearing down a structure which
Organized ball took forty years to build.

TRUST SUIT DOES
NOT HURT MINORS
National Association Not Part Of
Commission and Not Party TO
Federal Suit.
RESERVE CLAUSE w1IL HOLD

While Il would be folly TO say that
anything which has TO do with base bah
as whole does not affect the minor
league bodies. the legal attack OF the
Federal league upon Organized ball which
was made before Judge lands in Chicago
last week. does not concern the minor
leagues as much as might popularity be
supposed, ~
contentious and then. of course. the min
ors would feel the blow. but not Cor
long. because the National commission
and the National association have two
separate and distinct agreements and,
even though the Feds through suit. shat
ter the validity Of the National commits
sion's agreement, the reserve clause In
the national association will still hold.
The National association is not a party
to the suit and is only interested in
that it is a party TO the National agree
ment, which the Feds object to.
Not Part OF Commission.
The National association. while gov.
erned by the National commission has
no hand in framing the laws OF that
commission and has no membership on
the commission. Thus in order for the
Federal league to bring about the disso-
luton of the National association, a
second suit would have to be filed.
John II. Farrell. secretary of the Ma
tionei association. has sent out a letter
explaining how a decision adverse to
Organized ball would not dissolve the
association or free its players from reser-
walton. Continuing. MIR. Farrell says:
IL Not a Trust.
The National association has an agree
ment Of Its own. 1t has no membership
on the National association. therefore is
not a party TO the present action, al
though indirectly affected and very much
interested. The term a trust implies a
combination for profit. On information
and belief the losses of the minor leagues
yearly invariably exceeds the profits by
so per cent. Not more than IS per cent
of the minor leagues each year break
even or show profit The minor leagues
in the National association pay small
membership fee yearly to maintain a
headquarters-simply clearing house.
and not in restraint of trade for profit
under the most imaginary Interpretation
that can be given the National association
agreement"

And there you have two expressions Of
opinions from Omaha fight followers who
saw Jess willard spar four rounds with
AL Norton at the Krug theater last night.
Everybody seemed to disagree with every
body else as to Wizards worth and no
amount Of argument could settle the
points of difference.
Easy with Norton.
Willard toyed with, Norton during the
four rounds. Norton weighs but $50
pounds. while willard is at about 24O
pounds. Norton worked hard, or at least
ostensibly he worked hard, but the few
blows he landed didn't bother Jess. Jess
possesses a neat straight left which may
do some damage to Johnson when they
meet March 8. He didn't uncover any
right hand punches, SO there is no telling
what he can do with the mitt which car
ries the kick. He covered up well under
Norton's swings. but waited a trifle
longer than do most pugilists. Instead
of attempting to block a punch as quickly
as possible, he delayed until the blow was
within few inches of his own body.
He is very fast for such big man and
is not at all awkward.
Willard is accompanied by Tom Jones,
the well known manager ana reckless
, spendthrift. Jones was introduced to the
crowd, but. although reputed to be a
human talking machines passed up a
swell opportunity to chatter by bowling
nodestly ana retiring to. a ringside scat.
The wrestling fracas between Youslff
Hussane and Jim Asbell was a corker.
Asbell worked hard and made Hussane
very peevish before the bout was under
way ten minutes. Hussane was the ag-
gressor at every period and no slipped
hold after hold on Asbeli only to have the
sorrel-topped Missourian break away.
! Yousiff knew the holds. while Asbell
! knew how to break them. 1t was a rip
roaring match.
Hussane finally Topped Asbell after
thirty-five minutes and thirty seconds.
The second fall was shorter 1t came in
ten minutes. Asbell put up a game battle
against superior skill and the crowd gave
him good hand.
willard to FL Paso.
Willard and Jones and Norton left last
night for El Paso, where willard goes
into training Sunday. He declares he will
train off some fifteen pounds before the
match. Hussane goes from here to
Louisville for match January 27.s then
