ORGANIZED Ball
NOT MONOPOLY
SO Says Counsel for Defense in
Outlining Case TO Jury Yester-
day Afternoon.

Washington, April 3.-The case
of organized baseball in the $780,
900 damage suit brought by the
Baltimore Federal league club
against the National and American
leagues was outlined yesterday to
the jury hearing the case in the
District Of Columbia supreme court
by George Wharton Pepper Of Phil
adelphia, counsel for the defenS-
ants.
The two older leagues, Mr.. Pep
per said in outlining the defense
after the plaintiffs had rested their
case, would attempt to disproVe the
contention of the Baltimore club
that professional baseball as con-
stituted during the lifetime of the
Federal league was a monopoly
within the meaning of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The defendants, Mr.. Pepper as
serted. would seek first to prove
that professional baseball was not
an interstate industry, even though
the players came from various
states. The Sherman antitrust
act, he said, covered only inter
state industries and never was de-
signed to applying to competing
sporting organizations.
The complaint of the Baltimore
club, the attorney declared, had
narrowed down to two charges:
First, that organized baseball heads
and especially Ban Johnson, presi-
dent of the American league, had
made serious charges against the
Federal league, and second, that
the heads OF organized baseball and
three Federal league officials had
entered into a conspiracy 10 dis
rupt the Federal league with the
result that the Baltimore club, hav-
ing grounds and players and ready
to play ball, found itself without
anybody to play against and was
damaged accordingly.
The second complaint, he said.
was the more serious. The so
called peace pact" he said.
amounted TO an invitation from the
Federal league for organized base
ball to meet that organization on
common grounds and develop ways
and means of aiding the Federal
league in its difficulties. This Of
fer, he said, was accepted at par
value by organized baseball as
coming from Representatives of ev-
cry club in the Federal league.

CUBS THRASH HIGH
SCHOOL TEAM, 80,
IN GOOD CONTEST

Long Beach, Cal, April 3.-The
Cubs came down by the Pacific wa
tiers Monday and thrashed a high
school team, 8 to 0, so it looks now
as if they're about ready for the
big show to start.
They call the team the Long
Beach "Pollies" here, because they
go to the Long Beach Polytechnic
academy, but there were times in
the games when one thought these
Pollies must devote most of their
time to baseball. For a high
school crew lined up against the
National league champions, it was
a good game of ball. The Cubs
made only nine hits of young
only a 140-pounder. Four hits and
four runs were made in the eighth
round.
George Capron, former Mime
sofa football star, is coach of the
outfit, and played left field, and
he began preparing his team for
this combat right after New Years
day. All the school kids, boys and
girls, know the game, too, and all
were out with their best roofing
voices. One couldn't find as noisy
a game east of the Rockies.
The high fogs which were bank
ed against the mountains behind
Pasadena all last week were dis
covered lying on the ground at
Long Beach yesterday morning.
but about noon they took flight and
allowed the sun to shine upon the
athletes during the game time.
