LOOK FOR JUSTICE
IN COURTS DECISION
Belief Prevails That Judge Lands
Is in Favor of Organized
Baseball

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 26.-Baseball men
are specializing on the probable de-
cision of the court in the big baseball
litigation. Opinion seems to be di-
vided on the probable finding of Judge
Landis. Most of the baseball men
think the judge will render a decision
denying the motion of the Feds and
that in that event he may take up the
case and decide it on its merits.
The time has come in this trial when
YOU gentlemen must tell the court Just
what you want it to do in granting this
Injunction" said Judge Landis
He asked them if they wanted to stop
the reame from taking their usual
spring training trips, to break up the
present method of procedure and bring
hardships to the teams, or if they did
not want him to do that what they
did want.
