FOUND INNOCENT.
AFTER A LONG
PRISON TERM
ST. Louis Book Agent Convict.
ed on Indictment Which
Was Based on Error.

KANSAS CITY. Oct. 22-Gross S.
Edison. of st. Louis. book agent, has
been released from the United States
penitentiary at Leavenworth, where
he served five years for a crime he
did not commit
Edison was arrested in st. Louis in
February. 1911. He had in his pos
session $40 banknote issued in 1857
on a Savannah, Ga. bank. He was
convicted in the United States district
court Of passing counterfeit money
and sentenced to eight years in pris-
on on four counts.
A habeas corpus proceeding to get
him out of the penitentiary on tech
nical- grounds was brought recently
by a Leavenworth attorney. L. 8.
Harvey, deputy United States district
attorney, examined the indictment on
which Edison was convicted.
He learned Edison was accused of
counterfeiting a Georgia state bank
bill which was issued In 1857, when
state banks were permitted to Issue
bank notes. 1t was not the money OF
the United States government at all,
and therefore was not crime against
the federal laws.
| Harvey placed the case before Judge
John c. Pollock and he ordered the
immediate release Of the prisoner.

Decision Sets Aside Reserve
Clause-Reds to Appeal
Case and Keep the
Cuban Idle.

St. Louis. Aug. 19.-The injunction
restraining Armando Marsans from
plaving with the st. Louis Feds was
dissolved by Judge Dyer. in the Fed,
eral District Court. here to-day, ana
Marsans now is at liberty to play base
ball with the st. Louis team.
Judge Dyer's decision, IN erect, sets
aside the reserve clause, for Marsans
waste receive s1,1o0 from Cincinnati
as an option" on his services for 1918
and 1916. nm
This S1,lO0 was included in the $4,000
salary, but the contract read that the
total compensation for the season
herein contracted for" was $4,000. I'm
der Judge Dyer's ruling the season
contracted for" terminated October a.
1914.
Technically, the decision Of Judge
DYER is a modification and not a disso-
luton OF the injunction against Mar
sans. The court did not decide the en-
tire question raised in the Marsans IN
junction suit, but set aside that part OF
the Injunction that restrained Marsans
from playing with any other team in
1915 or 1916.
The decision reserves for final de-
cision the question of the mutuality OF
Marsans's contract with Cincinnati
that is. the ten-day clause-but sets
forth that clause s Of the contract APP
plies only to the season OF 1914.
This clause fixes Marsans's salary
at $4,000. The court held that this
clause did not bind Marsans to play

Injunction on MarSanS
DISSOLVED by Judge Dyer

for Cincinnati during the 1915 and 1915
seasons, and sets forth that the three
year claim of Cincinnati to the Cuban
player cannot be grounded on this
clause.
The court decision says in part:
"If the defendant (Marsans) is bound
for three years, the contract easily
could have been made so to state.
Clause (of the contract) relates only
to a plain obligation, and though it
may have bound the plaintiff tthe Gin
cinnati club to employ the defendant
(Marsans) in the seasons 1915 and 1916,
vet il does not follow that the defend
ant bound himself to play for the club
and for no other party during those
years. Considering Clause 8, it is man.
fest the defendant (Marsans) agreed
to play for the plaintiff (Cincinnat)
and for no other party only during
1914, and did not so agree for 1915
and 1916"
An attorney for the Cincinnati club
filed a motion for an appeal, which
will be heard by Judge Dyer tomorrow.
An appeal, it was said, would serve to
prevent Marsans from playing with the
st. Louis Feds pending a decision by
the Circuit Court of Appeals.
The matter of putting Marsans un-
der bond pending an appeal also will
be considered by Judge Dyer to-
morrow.
Phil Ball, principal owner Of the st:
Louis Feds, said that Marsans would
join the club Friday night. He also
said that if the case is definitely dis
posed of in favor of ST. Louis the local
club will file suit against the Gin
cinnati Reds to recover money ad-
vanced TO Marsans.
Marsans left here to-day to join the
St. Louis team, at Brooklyn.

TIP TOPS TOSS
AWAY CHANCES
FOR A VICTORY
Plank, Hit Freely, Shows
at Best in PincheS and
St. Louis Feds Win.

Opportunity knocked at the door of
the Brooklyn Tip Tops in their game
with the st. Louis Fielders at Wash
ington Park yesterday to no purpose,
and so they were beaten by the score
Of 4 to 3. In the early inning glowing
CT noes to tally runs went astray when
the Tip Top runners ran foolishly on
the bases, while in the eighth and ninth
innings the tieing and winning runs
fingered on the bases.
Tom Seaton was as wild as March
hare, issuing seven bases on balls,
many of which were turned into runs.
Bill Upham, who succeeded him in the
eighth, checked The felders with a
scratch hit. Seaton received fine sup
port from Benny Kauff and Claude
Cooper. Kauff robbed Kores, Borton
and Hartley of extra base hits, while
Cooper ended the first inning with a
fine catch off Hartley with the bases
filled.
Eddie Plank was hit for ten safeties
by the Tip Tops, but displayed rare
cunning in the pinches. In the eighth
Anderson doubled to left field and
raced to third when Ward Miller FUN
bled his hit, but Helfrich, Cooper and
Kauf were retired in order
Hap Myers had field day at the bat,
making four hits in as many efforts.
Fred Smith spoiled a good chance to
put the Tip Tops in the fore in the
seventh inning by poor base running.
Hap Myers opened with his third sim
gle, and after Halt flied TO Drake Fred
Smith singled to left, Myers going to
second. Harry Smith then hit the ball
to the right foot wall, the ball bound
ing back behind second base. Myers
scored on the hit, but Fred Smith
danced around second base, while
Harry Smith was forced to run back
to first to avoid being doubled up. Fred
Smith then tried to steal third, but
Hartley tossed him out.
Notice of an injunction issued by
Kansas City judge restraining the
Brooklyn club from playing Sam Mayer,
first baseman, reached Robert B.
Ward, Lee Magee and Hap Myers yes
terday. Mayer. who is a recruit, was
a member of the Kansas City Ameri-
can Association club when he was
signed by the Brooklyn club a week
ago.

The few local amateurs entered did

William Rautenbusch, scoring 324 and

greens lightning fast. Few of the play
ers approached par figures, 70, while
many scores ran we'll into the eighties
and even nineties.
A large crowd watched the play dur
ing both days Of the tournament. Most
Of the gallery followed Walter Hagen
and Chick Evans during the first NIFTY
four holes, but, as it became evident
that Mcnamara would be the winner,
many Of the spectators followed him.
Mcnamara played evenly throughout
the tournament, scoring 75-7S-76-io

rings around Leach Cross. of this city,
at Ehbets' Field last night. There was
scarcely round Of the ten in which
the boy from the corn belt did not

that Leach was able to take the myriad
hard knocks that came his way. and
still fight with the fury he did.
Grifiths scored clear knockdown in
the fifth round with a lefthand hook
Cross remained on the floor, resting
one knee, while the referee tolled OF
nine seconds. Then he leaped to his
feet and plunged back into the fray
with redoubled energy. He swung ard
hooked at Griffths, making mad ef'
fort to sway the tide in one terrific
wallop. But the elusive, OhiOan skipped
away from harm and added to the dis
comfiture Of Cross with well directed
left jab that was deadly in its accuracy.
There were times IN subsequent
periods Of the bout when Cross wa
tired and in apparent distress, but his
wonderful vitality rallied - his aid.
and he withstood the onslaught. In
the tenth round Griffiths drove him
completely across the ring with
couple of lefts, but again Leach fought
bitterly and with rare courage.
II was the first appearance of this
highly recommended Ohio lad in this
city, and before final judgment may be
passed he will have to be pitted against
a more skilled boxer. He can work
with his left better than most boys
seen hereabouts. He is fast, and often
beat Cross to the punch.
Cross fought gamely and well. no
matter how. furious the pace, but his
distance was bad, and he missed fire.

Marty Cross upheld the honor Of the
family by stopping frankie Madden
