Trial of tho suit opened Mondav The prosecution culled a hul' doxen or moro witnesses und then abrupt I v rehted their case They devoted the first four ds of tho trial mostlv to endeavoring to show that organized baseball titated Its plavers In a tyrannical manner, but held to them so securely ns to stop other outside clubs from bidding for their set vices COMMISSION GIIATII'IIU The members of the National Commission held an Informal conference nt tho Bellovue Stratford Immediately after court proceed ings had terminated Thoy then Issued the following statement. For many reasons we should have pre ferred to have tho caso subml'ted to the jury, because we have nil along been con fident that the verdict would be u com plete vindication of organized basrbull Wo had Instructed our counsel to try the case on the broadost posslhlo lines We produced records, correspondence and documents of every sort und there wer to be no technical objee tlons to testimony Wc desired the Jury and public to know all the fncts, and we were certain that the charge of conspiracy would bo found to bo absolute baseless Wo had not however, expected to con vince our friends fiom Baltimore; that their claim was without merit and were therefore surprised ns well as gratlllid when a few minutes before court opened they announced their Intention to abandon tho case Nothing but this action ou their part could hoe been permitted to cut tho trial short because we were all determined to mako no settlement or adjustment of nny kind If tho plain tiff had not emit, we vvero ready to let tho caso tako Its regular course The Important thing In our mind Is to main tain tho Implicit confidence of the public In the management and operation of or ganized bill Perhaps nothing can bo more helpful In this respect than the plaintiff's unconditional surrender.
