MACK BUYS PERRY
FROM THE BRAVES
Menace to Base Ball Ends
When Injunction Proceed
ings Are Withdrawn.

PHILADELPHIA, October 18.-The
famous controversy over the services
Of Scott Perry, which threatened to
disrupt organized base ball, tear
down the fabric of Americas great
game, which has been built up in so
much travail and breach the national
agreement, has finally been settled.
From Cleveland last night came word
to the effect that, common pleas judge
had dismissed the injunction barring
the national commission, the National
League and the Boston Braves from
interfering with Perry's retention by
the Athletics. The affair was settled
when the Athletics paid the Braves
through the national commission.
The injunction was granted last June
on petition by Connie Mack and the
court dissolved the suit when lawyers
stated the controversy had been set
tied out of court.
At that time the Braves were max
ing frantic efforts to land Perry after
they had released him and he had
been signed by the Athletics. The
matter was taken up to the national
commission and that body decided
against the MackS and handed down
ruling that Perry's services rightly
belonged to Boston,

Consideration Plenty Large.

Manager Mack last night refused 10
state what the cash consideration was.
but admitted it was plenty large. MIR.
Mack said:
Il never thought the Braves were
entitled to a cent. but 1 agreed to the
compromise in the interests of har-
mony in base ball. While ion't lie
lieve that Boston had any moral or
legal claim to Perry, the bargain was
a good one for the Athletics, for I
amount we paid to Boston.
when peace is declared and base
ball reopens Perry will be a valuable
asset to the Athletic club and a oe-
light to Philadelphia fans. We are
glad that he will stay here in Ph;sa-
delphia.

went to court over the atfair, obtain

result. He continued to pitch Perry

A REAL SPOTLESS TOWN

The spotless town of fiction has been discovered at last. It is Inlay, Nev., a freight division on the South ern Pacific Railway. and its three hundred inhabitants are mainly rall- roaders. Its spotlessness is due to the things the town is without. It has no saloons, consequently, no jail It is without lawyers. doctors or a "red light" district. There is no church in the town and no cemetery on it's outskirts. Neither can one find a movie" or a pawnshop. The inhabitants eat three meals day and work for their living.
