Love came up for argument this morning in Common Pleas Court No. 4, President Judge Thayer and Judge Arnold on the bench. The bill in equity was filed by Colonel John L Kogers, who had with him to-day as associate counsel Mr. George Tucker Bispham. A demurrer was filed by Messrs. Vanderslice, Moore and John G. Johnson to this bill for an injunction, and on this the Court heard counsel. Mr. "Vau derslice argued that the demurrer should stand, on the ground that the plaintiffs had a remedy at common law. and that the Court of Equity would not enforce a contract for per sonal service; that the contract was one-sided; that it was really a "gilded bondage;" that it was unfair, and that the Court could not hold It good. WHAT Tilt BILL SETS FOKTn. The bill in the case sets forth that the Phila delnbia hall club executed a contract with William Ilallman on the 24th of October, 18S8, in which it was agreed that Ilallman should re ceive a salary of S1.500 to play ball for a period of seven months, commencing April 1, 18S9, and endinc October 31, 1SS9, and that the power of "reserving" him for the next ensuinc season.on a salary not less than that paid bim previously, be given to that club. On the 21st of October. ISSy, notice was given Hallman that he was "re served" lor the ensuing season of 1890. and de spite of this it is charged in the bill "Hallman has recently contracted to give his services as a ball player for the season beginning April 1, 1890, to H. M. Love, with the privilege of Love to assign said cantract to another baseball clnb to be known as the Players National League Baseball Clnb of Philadelphia or by some simi lar title, and as tho Philadelphia clnb is in formed and believes has publicly declared that he WILL XOT CITE HIS SEHVTCES as a player to the Philadelphia club daring said season of 1690 and that said defendant. Love, had and has nonce and knowledge of plaintiff's prior contract with Hallman and ot the plain tiff's reservation thereunder of said Hallman's services for the ensuing season of 1890. In addressing the Court in behalf of the Philadelphia club, of which he is Secretary, Colonel Kogers said: "There can be no reason able doubt that the contract set forth in plain tiff's hill gave to it an absolute right to Hall man's sei vices as a ball player for the season of 1!S9 with an option to plaintiff to renew such services for the next ensuing season of 1890. Provided it should signify such option by 're serving' Hallman for such season, which meant. Including Hallman's name, as one of not more than 14 plaj ers then under contract with plain tiff on a reserve list sent to other clubs and published for the information of everybody and by a renewal for 1890 of the salary of 1HS9." The Injunction asked for from the Court is to restrain Hallman from givinz his services as a ball player for the season of 1890 to any club or organization, person or persons whatever other than the plaintiff club which brings the ques tion before the Court: "Can a nlayer be en joined for a breach of contract for professional cervices 7" F.OGEES ANSWEBS IUMSELF. In reply to this question of his own. Colonel Kogers thought that the contract can be en forced by a direct and affirmative decree for specific performance; that the tendency of equity jurisprudence is in favor of such a degree in cases like the present, and that it is highly probable that in the near f utu e the distinction between enforcing a covenant for personal services by the direct means of a decree for its specific performance, and getting at the same result by restraining the breach of a negative covenant, will disappear, and the courts of eanity will feel themselves able to grant relief as well in one form as in the other. But if it be admitted that the contract cannot be directly enforced specifically r that a player cannot be compelled by "a mandatory injunction of the court to periorm his duties as a baseball player, nevertheless the restrain, ing power of a prohibitory injunction can be enforced to prevent the player from giving his services for the term contracted for to any other club or association, and thus, perhaps, indirectly compel SDecific performance. Georce Tucker ilihnham followed on the same side and argned to the court that the contract made was a definite contract, a contract for a time limited and not running indefinitely, and that It was a contract on which an action for dam ages would be inadequate, and that no proper relief could be obtained in another court. BUTSTEES MAKES AN AWEAL. Georce F. Duysters. of New York, wan fl permission through the courtesy of the Court to address it as counsel lor the defendants, and Mr. Duysters commenced by saying that he had argued a similar case in New York before Judge O'Brien, but the tho matter came up there on a preliminary injunction, and not on a bill and demurrer, as here. Judge O'Brien thought that the injunction should not be made permanent until a final hearing, because the base ball player would not be likely to play ball for a living in the middle of winter, so he let the matter go over for a final hearing in Febru ary. The case, however, was not reached and has not yet been decided. He then quoted a number of other cases from the New York courts in favor of his side of the case and made a stirnnc appeal to the court against the bill John G. Johnson, who is the acknowledged leader of the Philadelphia bar, closed for the defense. In the course of a very able speech, Mr. Jonnson said: "The Philadelphia Club never said to this man, we will take your ser vices under our contract, but they coupled it with an option they had no right to make. You roust sign a new contract. This contract, which has not been produced, we believe coe t lined a similar option for the rieht of rescrvat;oD for the next year, so the man could have been held from year to year in bondage. It Is against the doctrine of the Constitution of the United States." The court reserved its decision. In the course of the argument Judge Thayer (who had been reading a copy of the National Leacne contract), interrupted with tho remark I see by the seventeenth paragraph of the contract that the club can discharge the plaver vithiuten days, if it so wishes, but that the player is compelled to play with theclnb as lone as it may see lit." ANXIOUS .ABOUT BECELET. A Letter Sent Co Keep the First Baseman In Line, Manager Hecker left the city yesterday stat Ingthat he was going to visit his family at Oil City. On Friday night he and President Nim ick arranged that he should pay a visit to Beckley, but Secretary Scandrett intimated yesterday tnat this tripwonld not betaken. The desire was to keep the Uecklev matter quiet, and whether or not Manager "Hecker started on a trip to see the big first baseman is to some a matter of doubt. Director Brown read the letter yesterday aft ernoon which gives the information regarding the alleged effort to secure Beckley for the Players' club and he thinks there is some truth in it. At any rate another letter written by a higher official than Manager Hecker was sent to Beckley yesterday. More for tlic ouib. 'AL Johnson has decided to send the Cleve land Players' Club on a Southern trip with the players' club of Chicago. The two teams will start on their trip March 12, and the Cleveland players will report at Cleveland on the 11th Inst. Several local platers tblnk the idea a good one. The trips that are now being under taken certainly knock on the bead, all the rumors to the effect that none of the new clubs but one are piepanng for next season. HAT'S KAKROW JsSCAPE. Tho New Tork Baseball Magnate Luckily lllun llie Wrecked Train. New Yokk, March 7. John B. Day returned from Cleveland this afternoon. As it was known that Mr. Day intended to leave Cleve land last night, his friends feared that he had taken passage on the train wrecked near Ham burg, and their anxiety as to bis fate was very great. In fact, it was currently rumored that ho was a passenger on the wrecked train. Mr. Day said the only reason he was not aboard the fatal train was because he haun't finished his business in time to catch it. He left Cleveland on a later train, and was delayed by the smash up for two hours. "Our train was shunted on a side track," con tinued Mr. Day, "and we were thus enabled TO pass the wreck. As we rolled by the scene we could see the wounded stretched on the couches and the sureeons working over them. Each section contained two wounded persons. It was a horrible sight. One of the passcngercars was telecoued no completely within a Wagner coach that it was difficult to tell but that it was one and the same car. How a car can be so completely telescoped is something that I do not understand." Mr. Day was not disposed to talk of baseball. "Do jou intend to go through with a ten club iieacuei' wasaskeu. "That is what we have arranged," replied Mr. Day, concisely. "How about the New York team for next season?" "We are still In the League and will have a team to play our scheduled games." Mr. Day declined to say anything about en gaging new star players or how he intended to strengthen the material he now has on hand. The local baseball opinion in regard to the Cleveland meeting seems to be that the true re sults attained Mere not disclosed. Prominent Brotherhood club officials share this belief. The impression seems to prevail that before the championship season opens only eight clubs will be found in the National League. Resardlnt; tbo Schedule. The National League schedule was the gen eral theme of conversation among local base ball enthusiasts and players yesterday. The general opinion seemed to be thatit is not at all an attractive one. League admirers, however, claim that when it is put into operation it will be quite successful. There was some surprise also at the League fixing its opening date on the 26th wiien it is understood that the new league will open on the 21st. Referring to this point Secretary Scandrett stated that the 26th was chosen so that the new League schedule would be almost duplicated by that of the old League during nearly the entire season. THE CUCK-KEUf. Some Good Advlco to Amateur Drivers About Iti Use. The following advice abont the use of the check rein, oublished in the Horseman, will be of great interest to local horse owners: "There should be someone to enlighten the amateur horsemen in the proper use ot the check-rein, from the fact of there being a num ber that have a tendency to imitate their neighbors. WLen any of these people see a horse hitched they go home and try the same Clan, frequently checking a colt up as bigh as they can, and start in to break bim. The re sult is that nine out of ten are partially spoiled and develop a dislike for the check, and it is years before they are cured of the habit of tossing their head. If the beginner would only use a little fore thought and check a colt up gradually, he would soon find the natural position and avoid future trouble. Under such treatment the colt will soon learn to drive pleasantly and speed without pulling. One colt likes an over draw, another a side check, and so on there fore the driver should endeavor to get a kind that will suit. It is never safe to check a colt up until such a point is reached, as he will do his work easier and with more determination. This is especially true of the trotter and road horse. Get him where he trots steady and easy, after his feet are balanced, and do not try to drive him in 2:20 the first week. Wait patiently and find where he likes his head and what kind of check or bit makes him feel com fortable. In nearly every town an observing man sees horses speeded up the streets, over cross wanks w ith their heaas stuck up in the air as if they were taking astronomical lessons. Such a method is not the best way to make a good track horse or even a safe roadster, as he has not liberty enough to see his way or what is going on around him. Give the horse a little freedom in harness, treat him kindly and speak to bim when he is doing bis work. It does not cost anything and it wins his confidence." STILL SELLING TROTTERS.

He said: "1 cannot say what the opinion of the gentle men will be in the matter. It may be that it will be accepted, but 1 hardly think Axtell will be in shape for a test of speed.

He had trained two weeks because I had offered $100 to any man in Troy who would stand up before Jackson for four rounds Lambert wanted the money and he got it.

When time was called Lambert rushed right In and grabbed Peter round tho waist and tried to throw him down, Jackson didn't go in for a rough and tumble scrap. He obeyed tho rules and called for a fouL But Lambert's friend, the referee, refused to allow it and the same tactics were repeated over and over again. In fact, all that Lambert did was to run around the stage, trying to keep away from Jackson, and when he failed in that he would duck his head, rush in and catch Peter around the waist. That was all there was to it" A PARK ALREADY ENGAGED. A Movement Toward Securing a Brother hood Tenm for Sr. Louis. St. Loch, March 7.

HE HAS EIGHT WIVES A Fascinating Actor's Peculiar Suc cess With the Fair Sex, FINALLY LANDS HIM IN PEISON. He Wedded Three In Minneapolis in Verj Quick Snccession. SOW IS THE BUCKEYE PENITENTIARY. The Minister's Fee Settled by a Check on a Bank Without a Deposit. Charles "W. Sterling, now in the Ohio penitentiary, is on record as having eight wives. He would marry one before the honeymoon with another was a week old. After securing any spare cash he would then leave for a new field. Minneapolis, March 7. Charles "W. Sterling, who has just been sent to the State penitentiary of Ohio for bigamy, was the most numerously married man in the West, he having wedded no less than eight women three in Minneapolis, one in Milwaukee and four in points iurther East. Sterling was "leading man" at the Ponce Opera Honse, Minneapolis, for two years. During his stay bere he kept the heart crushing busi ness going at a lively rate, and the strangest thing about it all is that his remarkable escapades were kept out of the papers. This is all the more singular when it is known that while the first Minneapolis Mrs. Sterling of which there is any knowledge was in tears over the mysterious disappear ance of her newly made husband the second Minneapolis wife was prostrated by Ster ling's abandonment ot her at a private board ing house in Milwaukee, and before Minne apolis wife No. 2 realized that she had been betrayed another Mrs. Sterling called at police headquarters in Chicago and reported that her husband had left her suddenly and without giving her any idea of hi3 destina tion. WEDDINGS CAME OFTEN. The latter's tale of woe was published in the Chicago papers, but Mrs. Sterling No. 3 knew nothing ahout what had occurred in Minneapolis and Milwaukee. The District Court records in Minneapolis show that on November 8, 1883, a marriage license was issued to Charles W. Sterling aud Frances M. Roach, and on January 21 following a license was issued to Charles Sterling and Emma Jean Mars. Miss Roach -was a pretty brunette, about 20 vears of age, and first met Sterling at the hotel at which she was employed. Tbey were married four days after the license was issued at the parsonage of the Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church by Key. George W. Miller. The honeymoon had not continued a week when Sterling met and "mashed" a sprightly widow, Mrs. Emma Jeau Mars, whom he married at the home of Mr. Fol som, a well known resident of East Minne apolis, on the evening of January 21, tbe ceremony being performed by Rev. R. N. McKaig, of the Hennepin Avenue Metho dist Episcopal Church. PAID with a bogus check. The reverend gentleman will always re member that wedding. When the nuptial knot was tied the groom shook the hand of the divine in a truly cordial manner, and after thanking him handed him a check for $20 on the People's Bank. The minister alterward found that Sterling never had a peuny to his credit in that bank. On February 5, just two weeks alter this wedding, Sterling deserted this wife. She reported her desertion to the police, but re quested that the facts be kept a secret. This was done. Sterling had taken $5 from her all tbe money she had and she was left penniless. Alter he had been gone several days he wrote to bis wife that be had been called away suddenly and expected to join her again. He toid her where she could find her trunk. Abont this time the abandoned wife No. 1 (nee Roach), in Minneapolis, also re ceived a tender missive from the actor. He apologized for his sndden departure and ex cused his conduct by saving that Manager Bock, of the Ponce Opera House, with whom he had been associated, iutended to "make trouble." But it is not known that he ever returned to them. Wife No. 1 and wile No. 2 have both lived in Minneapolis during the past year. HIS LAST CONQUEST. After going to Chicago Sterling appeared as 'Squire Arden in "My Geraldine," which was being played at the Bon Ton Theater. He was a guest at the Ogden House and there he met and won Miss Helen Walter, an attractive blonde. They were married about February 22, and a few days afterward there was another case of de sertion. What occurred after Sterling left Chicago is not known any more than that he kept up the marrying business nntil he got into the Ohio penitentiary. He is about 40 years of age, good looking, particular about his dress and a pleasing conversationalist. TIEWISG LOCAL MILLS. Eastern Railroad Men Visit Homestead and 'Braddock.
