ORGANIZED BALL
PRESENTS SIDE
ATTORNEY PEPPER DECLARED
FEDERAIS HAVE GOT NO GOOD
REASON FOR SUIT.

Chicago. Jan. 21.-Organized base
ball began the presentation Off its case
late this afternoon in Judge Lands
court when Attorney George Wharf on
Pepper. of Philadelphia, replied to
the arguments of the Fedora! League
lawyers The Quaker City lawyer. In
eplyfng to the question Of authority
declared the petitioners had given no
good reason Tor an injunction. He
compared the Federal League con-
tracts with those of organized ball and
asserted that In the Federal League
player was bound hand and foot for
ten years.
The reserve clause is no longer In
effect" said MIR. Pepper,
In contracts az now drawn there
is stipulation that rs per cent OF
the money Is to be paid as a salary and
that rs per cent of the annual sti-
pend is In tho form OF an option for a
future contract. For instance, a man
signs for 1915. II at the end Of the
year the player and the team owner
cannot come to terms for 1916 the
1915 contract remains In effect for
1915. AT the end of that time there
is no contract. II expires and the
player becomes a free agent, free to
sign whore he wishes
In the case of long-term contracts
tHeie Is n UkS STIPULATION that at the
end of the contract the old contra CT
remains In force II there Is no agree
ment or new contract, but remains
In force for year only. At the end
OF the year the player becomes a free
agent"
Mr.. Pepper concentrated his efforts
on trying to show that organized base
bali did not come under the antitrust
law. The question Of jurisdiction
popped up repeatedly at the hearing
today. Judge lands on several oc-
casions said that the Federals have
not yet established the fact that the
case should be heard In the Federal
Court. as all agreed In their bill He
told Mr.. Keen II. Addington, Of
counsel for the Federals this, and he
made a similar remark 20 Judge @,
A. Myers. Of Indiana, who followed
Mr.. Addington, and he argued that
Judge lands had jurisdiction. II tho
Feeral League attorneys fail to con-
vince Judge lands that his court
has jurisdiction 1t will be thrown out
and the petitioners viii, have to bring
the case before some other tribunal

The famous Russian danseuse was

Little Miss Abbott's demonstrations
of her weird powers defy intelligent

some of the feats she performs are
impossible to the strongest of the
strong men. At each performance yes
terday she gave amazing evidence of
her mysterious strength. After rel,

|fEOERAlS DESIRE
MINORS SUPPORT
,,"OUTLAW" ORGANIZATION TRY.
ING TO WEAN OVER CERTAIN
MINOR LEAGUES.

! New York Jan. 2t-while the
Federal League in Chicago is irving
to dissolve the major leagues and the
power of the National Commission as
vioiators of the antitrust laws, the
independents are at the same time
irving to wean over the support of
certain minor Organizations
The truth Of this statement was adj
initfed today by Fl. r. Brewer, the
eastern representative of the inde-
nendents:
No less than four minor league
masnates visited me today" said
brewer. Two were from New Eng.
,and-one representing the New Eng
aana circuit and on+ the Eastern As
ISOLATION. Another was a clubowner
from the Middle West The fourth. a
nigh official of a minor league that
operates In the South. From the at
'itude of these four visitors the Fed
eraI eLague has reason to expect
enough cooperation from the minor
ranks to provide employment for its
surplus talent. Should our people
win the suit In Chicago there would
be nothing to 1t.
The minor league magnates who
visited our offices have given assur-
ances that they can influence their
colleagues to cast their lot with in
dependent baseball. Just now they
seem to be particularly interested in
what assurance the Federal League
can give them for protection In case
of ultimate amalgamation between
the outlaws and organized baseball"
Mr.. Brewers remarks throw some
light upon the underlying causes of
the suit brought by Gilmore and his
associates. The independents have
more players on their hands than they
can provide with steady Jobs and are
anxious TO effect working relations
with outside promoters.
Under cover last season the GIL
more circuit was associated with =
minor LEAGUE OF New England known
as the Colonial. This was comprised
of six cities-Fall River. New Bed
ford. Woonsocket. Taunton. Paw
,tucket and Brockton. Its promoters
and hackers used at least evasion In
order to operate under the protec-
ton of organized baseball 1t II
understood that affldavits from Of
ficiais connected with the Colonial
League will be submitted to Judge
lands by organized baseball to prove
that the independents in secret have
been guilty of every offense they
charge against the organization.

The communication has this long
been delayed because the President
did not wish to mix it with the Amer

Germany. with Great Britain it is
probably complete. No obstacle now
to prevent its dispatch is evident since
the submarine dispute with Berlin is
considered virtually settled. The Con
