FOR LIFE
OF ORGANIZED BALL

Opposing the motion OF attorneys
for the Baltimore Federal League in
their suit for 100000 damages
against organized baseball for al
legged violation of the sherman anti
trust act, to direct the jury for a ver-
dict in their favor. Attorney George
Wharton Pepper, representing organ
lied baseball. in addressing Justice
stafford. said that Congress never In
tended that the Sherman act should
apply to combination IN competitive
sport. In the same manner as Il
should apply to a combination Of
manufacturers OF necessities.
The sixteen clubs in the league, -
said Mr.. Pepper, "were not engaged
for manufacturing purposes. They
were in the business for the creation
Of sensation and public thrills. Or
ganized baseball Is not a monopoly"
Mr. Pepper admitted that there may
be evils in the players contracts and
probably in the prices charged, but
he insisted that IL would be wrong
to kill the sport Id order to bring
about a remedy. The sport would be
killed, he declared, IL the court held
that a combination Of competitive
sport was a violation OF the Sherman
antitrust act.
