ORGANIZED
DECLARES GAME
HAS BEEN PURGED
OF TRUST SIGNS
Attorney Pepper, for Organ
ized Ball, at Chicago,
Scores Very Striking Point
in Argument Before Court.
CHICAGO, Jan. 82, Holdlnff that refor
mations In th fast year have purged tho
National Commission and the American
and National Iea&nios of any eigne of
being, & trust. Attorney deorge Wharton
Pepper today resumed his axcument be
fore Federal Judge Landls in the big base
ball suit.
Attorney Pepper apparently put great
(tress on his declaration that the new
contract In vogue means "every player
who signed for the season of 1914 was
absolutely free at the end of 1915 to sign
with anybody In tho world." This con
dition exists, according to Pepper, because J
oi me elimination of tho roaervo clause.
Another point made by Attorney Popper
which rathor surprised his hearers was
the open admission that organized baso
ball officials generally believed Charles W.
Murphy didn't treat Mordocal Brown
right when he sent tho latter to tho
minors after hlo long service with the
Cubs.
Attorney Pepper was expected to con
sume several hours In completing his
argument. i
Testerd&y the Clayton law was ettsd to
now that labor Is not regarded ait an
article ot cotuncrce and tho decision In ths
llammerstetn-Metropolltan Opera Company
caie waa brought in as another authority on
tho subject. Tho decision, holding that the
labor of opera singers was not commodity of
commerce, was held by Mr. Pepper applicable
to tho labor or trail players. Judge Landls did
sot decldo tho question.
In his general argument, which followed
after Keena Addlngton had ended his pre
sentation of tho plaintiff's caea and Qulncy
A. Meyer had talked on the Jurisdiction ques
tion. O. W. Peppor declared ho did not know
what tho Federal League- was asking to havo
enjoined.
"Their grievance Is not that wo prevent
them from finding the young ball players on
the 'lot' and developing them through train
ing In tho various minor leagues, as wo do:
they want to attain In one bound tho ad
vantage we havo gained through ton years
of labor: thev want to prollt from tho skill
developed by our money,'r ho said.
Mr Pepper declared there wero few cases
of Individual hardship worked against play
ers ly tho ten-day clause, the reserve rule
and tho Judgment ot tho National Commission.
"It is noteworthy that neither tho ten-day
clause nor tho reserve rule was spectllod by
the ball players" fraternity as objectionable'
he said. "We admit having made some mis
takes, I do not bellovo I would have treated
an old war horse as Mordecal lirown was
treated, but 1 ask that the answers of tho
defondanta to the affidavits of the players be
read carefully. The latter omlttod to tell their
life atory, how they were brought from tho
minors and ths progressively larger salaries
they received."
Mr. Pepper gave a history of the game and
tho formation of ths first agreement between
the American and National Leagues, which
preceded the national agreement. These
agreements, ho declared, wero not for tho
purpose of protecting tho parties to them from
outsiders but against each other, "In 10W
the conditions under which baseball was played
fiad recorded a marked advance." said tho
awyer, "and the rocordlng angel, I believe,
will find a balance to tho credit of our ac
count." he declared.
.The player's contract waa called a mero
"ecrnp of paper" by Kceno II. Addlngton,
the Federal Lea mi e chief counsel, when ho
resumod his argument yesterday. Ho declared
there was no real modification ot relations
between clubs and players, desplts changes In
uio upiion section or contracts ana tno eumina
tlon from come of tho ten-day clause which
have been mado within the last year or two.
BIG TRIAL SIDELIGHTS
CniCAOp, HI... Jan 22. Dick Klnsella, scout
for the New York Giants, says ho is hero
principally to protect the reputation of a per
fectly good dog. Ho Is ready to deny that the
canine, was swapped for a ball player. Ho also
Siys be wants tho Feds to stop kicking his
oun' around.
Attorney Keeno Addlngton seems to take
great delight In nicking on Oorry Herrmann.
As Garry is considered tho custodian of tho
Ellas and regulations of organized baseball
o has drawn tho flro of the Fedora! attack.
Men who havo grown gray and rich in base
ball sat in silence as they heard themselves
roasted as conspirators and charged with rob
bing tho downtrodden ball nlayer. "Will or
ganized baseball ever put him outT" queried
a tan who has attended tho court session for
two days.

BILt HOLLENBACK
The fact that be will not coach
Penn State's football team next
year has given rise to the report
that tho jovial leader will be
one of Pennsylvania's gridiron
coaches. Bill was a hero of the

SQUASH RACQUETS
Although tho soason 1ms another week
to run, Qormantown Cricket Club Team
A Is practically assured of tho lntcrclub
squash racquets championship. Should
tho Hacquet Club win all six matches
from Morion Team B next week, German
town can loso four of the Blx matches
with Overbrook and still hold tho lead.
As such a condition Is highly Improbable,
tho championship ngaln goes to Man
helm after an absence of a year. Last
year Frank S. Wilto did not play for
Hermantovvn In tho team competition, but
this year ho was back again and dis
played his old tlmo form. Ho has failed
to loso a match.
The second half of the Intercity squash
racquet contests will bo ployed at tho
New York Racquet and Tennis Club Sat
urday and Philadelphia will undoubtedly
bo requesented by tho samo players In
tennis and racquets who did so well In
Wallace F. Johnson, of Merlon, who
tho contest hero last Saturday,
was an alternato on thb Davis Cup Team
that went to England In 1013, has made
rppld strides In tho winter pastime until
at present he Is ono of the best squash
players In Philadelphia. H. B. Register
didn't stand a ghost of a chanco ngalnst
him In tho Merlon A vs. Merlon B match
and before long Johnson will becomo as
prominent In squash ns he Is In tennis.

The Brainiest Club
The old Baltimore Orioles have been
labeled tffijhralnlest ball club that ever
groppleffiwltbT'fhe rickety pastime.
Perhapsthey wore, With Mcdraw,
Jennlns8,vBobinson, Kelley and others
there wattPknqugh brains on that old
outfit to jtocfe an average league. '
But to "rise right UP and say that any
club was brainier than, the Cub machine
of 1906 and 1907 Is taking quite a
chance. Kilns is one of the brainiest
catchers that ever stood back ot a plate.
Miner Brown was one of the game's
smartest pitchers. Chance was a brainy
worker, and Evers is the marvel of them
all, with Joo Tinker only a faint shade
behind. Jimmy gheckard was another
smartjactor.
It would be hard ta give any club bet
ter than a draw against this Cub array
of gray stuff and alert intelligence.
Another Entry
Still another Brain Trust entry would
be the White Sox of 1906. Sullivan was
another catcher reeking In gray, matter
beneath the skull. There were few
smarter pitchers than Poo White and

STRIKES AND SPARES
The Majesties gave a great exhibition of
pin toppling on Casino Alleys last night, beat
ing the St. James threo straight games nnd
supplanting the latter for tho leadership of
Casino Section B. Topham. tho former anchor,
lilt tho pins for a 278 score In his third game,
uniting off with a split In his first frame"he
then struck it out. Bellevue won tw.o out ot
threo from Continental after a poor start In
their first game, easily winning the last two,
and finishing their third gamo with a 1007
pin score Avll and Buchanan did tho heavy
work with ZU and SUU each.. AgasBlz and
Ilexalls each won two games out of threo from
Terminal and Wllmot, respectively, Doo
Shields and Helnold helping their teams alous
with a couple of double centuries each.
In Strawbridge & Clothier League matches,
Sporting Goods (the leaders) dropped tho odd
game to Jewelry. Accounts, Bugs nnd Clothing
each won two games out of three from Whole
sale. Men's Furnishings nnd Ilctnll Credit, re
spectively Arthur Armstrong, ot Wholesale,
toppled the pins In sensational form, breaking
tho record for high slnglo nnd threo games of
the league, getting a 2211 scoro In his second
game, and U3H pins for his three-gamo total.
In bis first two games he had 15 strikes out
of tho 20 frames. This feat Is probably

Athletic Club Secures, Option
Realizing that the building 1620-28 Arch
ntt-tn In tan snaolous for Its needs, tho Ath
letlo Club of Philadelphia has secured an op
tion on tho properties at 1510-12 Sansom street.
If tho plana of the Club Committee uro rati
fied It Is proposed to completely remodel the
two buildings and convert them Into ,an up-to-date
clubhouse.
Nlclt Altrock and no smarter infields
than Jlggs Donahue, Frank label,
George Davis and Lee Tannehlll ever
scattered brains along tho towpath.
Not forgetting a Mr, Fielder Jones,
who also had his share of tho stuff that
made Doo Plato and Bill Shakespeare
and Ty Cobb famous.
With Collins, Barry, Mclnnls and
others around, the Mackmen also had
their share of brains. But they wero
seldom needed with the old bloole
bloote at work.

Princeton deserves a good head coach

in the land has shown better spirit, or
has fought harder against rough odds;

Yale on successive Saturdays! Yale
tackles Princeton and Harvard in order
