in court today when Keene Fl. Adding
ton, general counsel for the Federals
resumed his argun ent in support of
their claim that organized baseball is
operating in violation of antitrust

Addington was expected to present
the affidavit of President Gilmore of
the Federal league in regard to the
negotiations. In his sworn statement
Gilmore said he instructed Charles H.
Weeghman, president of the Chicago
Federals, and President Robertson of
the Brooklyn Federals that when they
went to confer with August Hermann,
chairman of the national baseball
commission last fall, they must name
at least four conditions for peace.
First, the affidavfts set forth, was
the recognition of the Federal organi-
cation as a major league; second, rep
resentation by the Federals in the ma
tional commission; third protection
to every baseball player and umpire
that had gone to the Federal league
from organized ball and fourth, par

affidavit says, the Federal league at

become legal.

The voyage of the Dacia will be un-
