statements in the hearing yesterday on
the temporary injunction granted re-
Gently by Judge Baldwin restraining
the league from transferring the Kan

chasers.
Charles Madison, former president of
the Kansas City club. testified that he
had been assured late as February
10 that the franchise had not been
transferred In his opening statement
Edward L. Gates of Indianapolis. of
counsel for the league, said the agree
ment for transferring the franchise
was made February s.
The transfer of the franchise was an
improper action of the executive COM

that the directors could not delegate

mo Accounting Made"
AT the beginning of the 1914 season
the Kansas City club paid a large sum
of money to the league he said, re-
hearsing the clubs financial history
This was considered simply loan to
the league and never was returned,
nor was an accounting made.
The league advanced money at vari-
Gus times to the club. but at the same
time received it's gate receipts. No
accounting of this ever has been
made"
Mr. Madison said he had attended
stockholders meeting in New York
October 23, but had not been permitted
to vote.
Letters from Gilmore to Madison
were introduced, both dated September
10, one giving notice that the Kansas
City franchise had been forfeited be
cause of a draft for $1,000 on him by
the club to meet the pay roll Of Septen-
her ], and another advising Madison
that the franchise would be protected
ii Kansas City would rase $4,000 to
finish the season.
Further testimony will be given and
