BASEBALL STATUS
Thus Does George S. Ward Ex.
plain Reason for Latest
Action "For Good Of Came"

NEW YORK. Jan. 7.-George 8. Ward.
vice president Of the Brooklyn club OF
the Federal League. returned yesterday
from Chicago. where he had been In
conference with the other Federal
Leaguers over the antitrust SUIT which
the outlaws have brought against cr-
ganized ball.
Mr.. Ward stated that this move on the
part Of the new league was deemed ad-
visable because the Federal League
wants to have a clear legal status OF
baseball established before another
playing season comes around. BY bring"
ing this action the Federal League
hopes to settle for all time the numer-
Gus legal skirmishes which have heen
hamperins the game for the past two
years.
THE suit was brought for the good
Of baseball said Mr.. Ward. 'and we
believe that it will firmly establish tho
fact that all the contentious We have
made since we entered the baseball
field are correct"
One Of the things brought out in the
suit which purports to show the un:
fairness Of the attitudes OF organized
ball Is the refusal Of the New York
Giants to answer the Brooklyn club 9
letter in regard to Rube Marquard. Mr..
Ward stated that he had a long talk
with Marquard In Chicago and the ts II
southpaw told him that he would play
with Brooklyn next season or not at all.
