District Court. Eastern district, be-
tween January and so.
Judge d. r. Dyer IN a conference to-
night with Montague Lyon, attorney
for the St. Louis Fcdcrals, promised
that the much discussed Marsans Case
would be heard then.
lIe further told the Federal League
attorney that he would render a de-
cision as soon as possible. The court
convencs on the 18th, but there was
some fear that the Marsans case
would be allowed to go over.
Attorney Lyon represented TO Judge
Dyer tho heaty expense that the delay
in the case had caused to the Federals
and urged him to give the hearing as
much precedence as Is compatible With
the condition Of the docket
Judge Dyer said he would try the
case as near the 18th as possible. I'm

BALTIMORE, Jan. 2.-That training

The Terrapins requested that their

moters have come back with a counter
proposition. The local Federals do not
Ike the idea OF going to the island and
taking their chases on drawing big
money through the gates when they
play games with the native teams.
