BASEBALL CASE
GIVEN TO JURY
Judge in Instructions Sees Mon.
OpOly By Organized Sport
Raps Federals Also.

Washington, D. c., April 12-The
Baltimore Federal league clubs suit
for 100000 damages under the
Sherman antitrust law against or
ganized baseball was ready for the
jury late yesterday after arguments
Of attorneys and instructions by
Associate Justice Stafford of the
District of Columbia supreme court.
Organized baseball, Justice Stat
ford advised the jury, cannot be
held responsible for Federal league
mismanagement or lack of players
skill, and he declared that unless,
by a preponderance of evidence. the
jury should find that the difficulties
of the Federal league and it's clubs
were due solely to acts of the de-
PENDANTS, the jury should find for
In concluding his instructions,
however, Justice Stafford said:
'"The acts of the defendants, al
legged and proved, by way of main
tanning the system of organized
baseball, constituted in law an at
tempt to monopoliZe the business of
competitive baseball exhibitions for
profit, and as an inseparable part
thereof, to monopolize commerce
between the states and were done
in violation of the antitrust laws.
If such acts injured the plaintiff in
its business or property, the plain
tiff is entitled to compensation"
The jury also was instructed it
must take all facts and conditions
in competitive baseball into consid-
Grafton in reaching its verdict, in
Guiding knowledge of Baltimore
club officials OF organized baseball's
methods when it entered the CON-
petitive field.

YANK DOUGHBOYS
PLAY CATCH AND
BAT ON STREETS

Paris. April 12-Bright spring
days have attracted crowds of
American doughboys into the Paris
boulevards, where they are play
ing catch and batting up flies in
preparation for the baseball season.
French children never tire of
watching the Americans practice
with their big gloves and face
masks. In the neighborhood of the
Hotel Crillon where the American
peace delegation is housed, the
broad parking of the boulevard Des
Champagne Elysees affords ball
players an ,excellent practice
ground.
Hoop rolling, top spinning and
the Punch and Judy shows along
the boulevard offer slight attraction
to French youngsters when the
khaki-clad ball players are practic-
ing.

And you can bet your bottom dol

Itll take maybe four weeks for the
United States outfit to get to Japan,

Europe, SO a year will be none too
much.
And what about games post

have to be called off on account OF
wet grounds. It'll be no cinch 20

The sporting editor opened the
letter of the pile before him and
read as follows:
To the Sporting Editor, Daily
Punch: I'D like to express my ap-
probation, through your newspaper
of this league of nations idea. I've
seen a lot about it in the papers of
late, End it impresses me more and
more as a mighty good notion, es-
pecially since the king of England
threw out the first ball game in
London last Fourth of July. Hon
estly, L never thought I'd live to see
the day. The war has sure done
lot of big things.
Among other things it convinccs
me that a league Of nations is no
idle dream, but a real possibility.
There are a good many nations, OF
course, that will want to be in it,
and it might be bett;.:" dope to have
two eight club circuits ~ather than
one of 16 clubs. But that, of course,
will be for the magnates to decide
1 suppose President Wilson, after
the peace conference, will leave
such details to Heydler and Ban
Johnson.
Another troublesome feature. it
seems to me, will be the danger of
making a runaway race of it; the
United States will have practically
monopoly of all the good play
ers, and it might be hard to keep in
terest alive after the first of June.
England ought to have a pretty
good team, but l don't count On
much from France or Italy, neither
looking to me like better than a sec
ond division proposition. You can't
expect much from Russia, either,
for about twenty years, unless she
gets hold of corking good man
ager like Connie Mack or Hughie
jennings. AS for Germany and
Austria, wouldn't let them into
the league at all; Germany would
play as she fought, dirty ball all
the way, and we've got to cut out
that sort of stuff Turkey I'd let
in because 1 think that with all
them harems ladies' day in Turkey
would make a big hit, and help the
business end of the game.
There's only one thing that really
stumps me in this whole idea, and
it's going to stump the magnates,
too, when they get right down to it
That is the jumps between series
Talk about q jump between St
Louis and Bostoni What'u that be
compared with jump, say, between
Japan and France, or the little
L. s. A. and Russia? III say they'll
have to play to big crowds or tho
travelling expenses and hotel bills

JOHN L. JOHNSON
HITS AT WAR SHY
PUGS IN LETTER

John Lester Johnson, who volun-
teared for service overseas and
spent ten months in the Vosges,
Muse, Argonne and Metz sectors
with the Three Hundred Fifty-sev-
enth regiment, is back again in this
country and has been honorably
discharged from the army. Jawn
writes quite a pert letter about
working for thirty bucks a month
while most of the other big fellows
stayed home doing the best they
could while the war was on. Says
Jawn Lester in part:
Homer Smith of Racine and /
were the only two boxers in the
heavyweight division that were
fighting for $50 a month in the real
big muss, while the commercial
heayyweights were buried in ship
yards or were walking delegates Tor

reau-far from the roar of shot and
shell. Now l have newspaper de-
ciSions over Jack Dempsey, Clay
Turner, Larry Williams, Joe Jean
nette, Sailor Grande and many 9TH
ers, and I'd like to get a crack at
the money.
viii the public allow those
heavyweights who stayed on this
side of the Atlantic in feather beds,
eating the fat of the land, while l
was in the trenches with my com
rades, lying in mud, sometimes a
foot thick, dare to draw the color
line?"
John Lester doth take a nice free
swing at all the big uns in that let
ter Jack Dempsey seems to have
been his special mark Jack and
John Lester bet once in a New York
ring, and, though Dempsey was out
pointed, he made such a good i'm
preston on those who saw him try
ing to solve Johnson's very good
lighting methods that several man
ayers tried to snare him right on
the spot. John Reisler was the one
to throw a net over the man VINO
has made such sensational strides
since that time. and it was the con-
tract that John R. obtained on
Dempsey's services that has been
the cause of SO much litigation

not ended, if John the B. is to be be-

Perhaps you have never thought of
it. but this disorder is due to a lack
of moisture in the residual matter of
the food. If you will drink an abun-
dance of water eat RAJ fruits and take
lots of utdoor exercise you may be
able eventually to overcome 1t en-
tirely. In the meantime use the most
mild and emile laxattives. Strong and
harsh cathartitcs take too much water
out of the system and make bad mat
ter worse. Chamberlain Tablets are
easy and pleasant to take, and most
agreeable in effect. Give them trial.
