FEDERAL LEAGUE s9O0,OOO SUIT
Baltimore Club Charges Organized Ball With Violation of Anti Trust All American and Eastern League Games Postponed on Account of Rain

Philadelphia. June 11-Testifying in the $500, 1000 suit of the Baltimore Fed eral League club against organizTl baseball growing out of the pefce agreement of December. 1915, whereby the Federal League went out of exist ence,~ l.. Edwin Goldman, a director of the Baltimore club, said his club knew absolutely nothing about negotiations to put the league out of business un- til the peace agreement had been reached. He emphasized his denial that the Baltimore club was consulted in the negotiations. .i.
 The suit was brought under the Sherman and Clayton antitrust laws, the Baltimore club charging that the agreement between the Federal League and organized baseball was a violation of the antitrust laws and tended to monopolize the business of baseball. The club also charges that the agree ment disrupted the Federal, [ Lea gue and that the club suffered damage to the exetnt of $500, 0,00O,, for which, un- der the antitrust laws; it is asking triple damages.
 Mr. Goldman on direct examination said the Federal League signed no players who were under contract with clubs in other leagues. On cross ex- animation by Frank P.@ SPrichard of Philadelphia counsel for the American League, he explained the Federal League did sign players who had re-. serve clauses in their contracts with the major leagues because the Federals did not respect the clauses on the ground that thy considered them as illegal.
 After the Baltimore club had learn ed Aof the peace agreement, MT: Gold man said, Stuart $. Janey, a director of the club, and chief counsel in the suit, went to New York to try to ne- gotate for a. major league club. in Bal timore but was unsuccessful.
 During Mir. Goldman's examination the peace agreement was read to the jury. Its contents are generally known, but there was 2, one clause which has not heretofore been made public. It recited that no agreement had been reached with the Baltimore and Buffalo Federals and that a com mittee of seven was agreed upon to arrange a settlement with those clubs. This committee was to consist of the three members of the National Com mission, President Barrow of the In ternatfonal League, President Gilmore of the Federal League; a representa- tive of the Buffalo club and one rep resenting the Baltimore club, both to be named by MT. Gilmore. The Bal tinnore' representative was never ap pointed, MT. Goldman said:
 He further testified that all the eight clubs in the Federal League f1n- league existed but that there were but six clubs in the organization when it was disrupted in Devember, the other two having become financially ernbar- rassed.
 Georgc Wharton Pepper of counsel for the big leagues, in his opening statement as to what. the. defense would show, declared that baseball was not a comm ercial business and

 ball Tean.)

The advocates of intramural ath- 1etics in our various colleges a%d pre- paratcry schools in place of intercol- legiate and interscholastic sport have had opportunity this spring to see their theory put into practiceon ac- count of the war situation causing the cancellation of many games with rival institutions. While it is not fair to judge the success or failure of this form of sport on the showing made just at this time for the reason that al such places where intramural sport was tried the excitement over war superseded all else, still some idea of whether such a plan would be a fit ting substitute for the more engross- ing and strenous intercollegiate com petition can be had by judging the re- suits.
 Tn the first place it must be remem- bered that intramural sport is best adapted to the spring season. Foot ball has never been considered as fitting game for boys not long and properly trained for it and where it has been tried out as a form of in- tram1-al athletics the risk and danger of injury has been too great. Base ball, track athletics, hockey, tennis and in fact all other major and minor athletic games practiced in the col leget are far better suited for intra- mural competition than football. The season itself has been right for a trial.
 Harvard, for example, this spring announced that it's coaches would be at the field to give individual instruc- tfon to those men who wanted to play games. As many as two, three and four baseball players appeared daily and the well-conceived plan died a natural death Cornell, where Dr. C. c. P. Young, director of physical edu- cation. has done so much in the past to stimulate athletic interest by a

LOSS OF STARS
 WOULD HURT CLUBS Many Are Backbones of Major Teams.


 Baseball fans know that an accident to Iris Speaker would seriously crip-
 pie the Clevelands, also that the De
 troits probably would be tailenders if Ty Cobb could not play. But how many students of baseball have figured what
 would happen to the other big league teams if each should lose the services of it's most valuable player? The Yankees would be in a. serious predfc- ament if Walter Pipp should be dis abled. Take Babe Ruth away from the Red Sox and their pennant chances would be almost nof1ing. The White Sox wouldn't be fighting for the lead ership if Eddie Collins was on the hos pital list says Joe Villa
 The Athletics would miss Stuff Mo- Innis while the Browns would be lost without George Sisler. And where would the Washingtons finish if any thing should happen to Walter John son? |? The accidents to Lew McCCarty will not seriously cripple the Giants because McGraw has two other good catchers in Rariden and Gibson. But the Giants couldn't get along without the great pitching of Schupp. Alex ander is the backbone of the, Phillies just as Maranville is the mainstay of the Braves. The loss of Jake Daubert would handicap the Robins, while the Cubs would lose their prestige without the services of Big Jim Vaughn. Hal Chase is the Reds best man and Hornsby is the big gun in the Cardi- nals' lineup The Pirates are last be- cause their star pitcher, Mamaux has been in poor shape.
 Manager Rowland of the White Sox attributes the success of his team to the steady work of four pitchers, Ci cote Russell.

STRUCTURE OF THE EYE.
Why We See Better In . Moderate
Than In q Glaring Light.

An observant chauffeur, passing an
automobile with glaring headlights,
noted that objects at the side of the
road which had been distinctly visible
dropped out Of sight when the bright
lights were thrown upon them. Since
one can see better in little light than
In no light, he wondered, why can one
not see better in bright light than IN
moderate light?
The answer is, paradoxically, that
the less light there is the better one
sees, for the brighter the object the
less efficient is the eyesight. If, after
We have been in darkness, We sudden
" turn on a bright light and look at
our eyes in a mirror we can see the
pupil OF the eye rapidly growing small

dilates again. What happens is the

usually takes few seconds for this
adjustment to take place. Thus when
we emerge from darkness into light we
are blinded until the iris can shut out
