BASEBALL ISSUE IN
|. THE SUPREME COURT
Baltimore Club Of Defunct Fed
eral League Attacks Legality
Of National Agreement.

Washington, n. G., April 2o.--pro-
fessional baseball as represented by
major and minor leagues. operating
under the national agreement. was at
t,cGed yesterday in the Supreme Court
by counsel for the Baltimore club Of
the defunct Federal League, In srgu.
ing the suit OF that club for damages
alleged 10 have been suffered when
the Federal League dIsbanded under a
peace" agreement with organized
baseball.
The Baltimore club contended that
baseball teams under their
schedules engage in interstate oorp-
merce, and that those which are par
ties to the national agreement consti-
tute monopoly IN restraint OF inter-
state commerce in violation OF the
sherman antitrust law. The decision
OF the court in passing upon the White
Slave Traffic act, tho plaintiffs as
serted. clearly established the trans
portation OF individuals across State
lines WAS interstate commerce over
which Congress had Jurisdiction.
While transit across State linee Ia

argued 81 was not the end IN view, but
merely the means of getting tho play

was 20 be played. He likened such

insisted. however, that the important
question before the court was whether
the playing OF the games was within
the scope OF Congressional regulation,
since the mere fact that the players
habitually and necessarily cross State
lines is not legally a material circum-
stance"
