Cincinnati, O., April 14.--In a state ment issued by the national baseball commission here today. the supreme court of baseball announces that the decision of Judge Stafford of Washing ton in the suit of the Baltimore Fed eral league club necessitates no modi fication of the system under which or ganized baseball is operating and ad vises all clubs and players that busi- ness will proceed as usual and that all legal contracts must he lived up to by the parties to them. The statement in full follows:
 The decision made by Justice Staf- ford that organized baseball violated the prohibitions of the Sherman act was not rendered in a suit by the United States to dissolve the combina- ton. The decision. therefore, necessi- tates no modification of the system under which organized baseball is op- erating. That system has been under i the public eye for many years. Great 1 investments depend upon it's continu
 ance. The government of the United States has not challenged it. On the i contrary. when the attention of the
 department of justice was specifically
 called to the system and it's operation i the department decided that no reason was perceived for governmental inter ! ference.
 All clubs and players are occord- ingly advised that business will pro ] ceed as usual, and that all legal con-
 tracts must be lived up to by the par
 ties to them. In rendering his decision
 Justice Stafford intimated that the i'm portant questions of law involved in ii be passed upon by q higher court. Oul attorneys have accordingly been in structed to take an immediate appeal

 AS the schedule stands the Yankees are to open the season Wednesday April 23, with the Boston team. Though Sparrow refuses to make any official statement his is trying to keep the opening date as schedule, but to move several late season contests with the Red Sox forward so that the Bostons will play at the Polo Grounds not only on Saturday. April 19, but on the next day, Sunday. This arrangement call ing for practically two series with the Red SoX at the start. with a Sunday thrown in, would mean a tremendous sum for the New York club.

POOR SPORTING GOODS
 ARE MADE IN EUROPE

Nothing but American made sport goods for the American fighting man." is the verdict of William J. Mulligan. chairman of the Knights of Columbus committee on war activities, who has just returned from a four months visit to Europe, re-organizing K. of C.. war relief work to meet the new needs of the men in service overseas.
 After the armistice was signed" he explained the Knights of Columbus pressed for an immediate increase in athletic. material, tried out samples submitted to European houses. The baseballs succumbed after two or three sound wallops; the boxing gloves col lapsed at the first uppercut before the man who received it and the baseball bats could withstand little more than practice use.
 Our experience with these samples proved conclusively that America was not only advanced in sports but in the implements of sports. We were very glad that large supplies of bats and ball and boxing gloves shipped from this side arrived on time, so that we did not have to resort to inferior Euro pean goods.'
