SAY BASEBALL MEN
BROKE TRUST Law

The testimony offered by the Bal
timore Federal Club in ITS salt for
5000, 900 damages against organized
baseball, which is on trial before a
jury in Justice Stafford's court, IS
intended TO show that organized base
ball controls the market in players
through reservation clauses in con-
tracts, which, it is alleged. is in viola
tion OF the Sherman antitrust law.
A number OF players testified TO
this allegation. George ]. 8Iaisel, a
former player, who is now employed
in shipyard, said that the salary he
IS now receiving from the shipbuild-
ing concern is more liberal than that
which was Offered him in a contract
sent him by the Portland baseball
club, 10 which he had been released
by the Detroits He thought the re-
serve clause and the ten days notice
clause in the contract were necessary

John ]. Presto, another player, said
he would be out or baseball unless he
lived up 10 the contracts.
Dispositions from David Fuitz, presi-
dent Of the International League. and
Joseph Villa, sporting editor of the
New York Evening Sun, which were
given by them at the former trial Of
the case in Philadelphia, were read.

President Denies League
Talk Is Delaying Peace

PARIS. March 2s.-President Wi
son has issued the following state
ment:
In view of the very surprising
impression which seems to exist
in some quarters, that it is the
discussions of the commission on
the League OF Nations that are de-
laying the final formulation OF
peace, am very glad to take the
opportunity of reporting that the
conclusions OF this commission
were the first TO be laid before
the plenary conference.
They were reported on Feb
ruary il, and the world has had
a full month in which to discuss
every feature Of the draft coven-
ant then submitted.
During the last few days the
commission has been engaged in
an effort TO take advantage of
the criticisms which the publica-
tion OF the covenant has fortu-
nately drawn out A committee
of the commission has also had
the advantage of a conference
with representatives OF the neu-
trail states, who are evidencing
a very deep interest and a prac-
tically unanimous desire to align
themselves with the league.
''The revised covenant is now
practically finished. 1t is in the
hands of a committee for the final
process OF drafting. and will al
most Immediately be presented a
second time to the public.

PUBLISH NAMESOF
TRAFFIC OFFENDERS

The District Commissioners today
announced their intention OF giving
publicity to ali police traffic eases in
which the commission deemed it neces-
sary to revoke the operators license
OF the person or persons concernd.
Heretofore II has been the custom
Of the commission to withhold names
of persons from whom licenses havc
been revoked. During the past six
months more than 200 operators per-
mits were revoked by the commission.
The increase in the number Of accl-
dents and the increase in the number
Of traffic cases lately, has come to
such q point, the commission believes,
that some action should be taken.
This Is a step taken by the commits
sion to lessen accidents. Most OF the
cases where licenses were revoked
the operator was driving recklessly
or under the influence Of liquor.
Permits revoked today are; Chris
topher Otto MiddIedoFf. $50 L street
