rEPECIAL TTLEGKAM TOTI1E DISPATCH.
Philadelphia. March 7. The test case
of the Philadelphia Ball Club, Limited,
against "William Hallman and Henry M.
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."

of the owners of tho latter. He said:
"1 cannot say what the opinion of the gentle

over 40 engagements in the stud, with which ho

THE PARSO.V EXPLAINS.
He State How Lambert Manaecd to Stand
Four Rounds Bcfure Jackson.
Cleveland, O., March 7. Peter Jackson,
the colored pugilist, arrived here Friday morn
ing, accompanied by Jack Ashton, Sam Fitz
patrick and "Parson" Davies. Jactson denied
the truth of tho report that ho came near be
ing knocked out by Gus Lambert at Troy. N. Y
the other night.
'Do you know who Lambert Is?" "Parson"
Davies, who acts as Jackson's backer, asked.
"Wrjy. he's a Drofcsslonal wrestler and weighs
240 pounds. 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. He
did not stand up, but he wasn't knocked our.
In the first place he wouldn't aeree to anybody
hut a Troy saloon keeper for referee, and after
ho bad his own way m that he insisted on hav
ing eight-ounce gloves. Well, what could yon
expect anybody to do with pillows on his handsT
Why. you might stand up before Jackson or
Sullivan or anyone else for a dozen rounds
with such glove! on. There would be no possi
bility of knocking a man out with such things.
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. The first real move to
ward placing a Brotuorhood club in St, Lonis
was made to-day, when AI Spink, editor of the
Sporting A'ews, closed a five-year lease for
Amateur Park. He admits that he is at work
in the interest of the Brotherhood. He says
that Mr. George Munson, who is looking after
St. Louis Brotherhood interests at Chicago, has
already closed a contract by which the Chicago
Brotherhood club is to play here from March
30 to April 17. During its stay here it will play
games with visiting Brotherhood clubs.
Amatenr Park is a fine plot of ground in the
southwestern part of tbe city, and is reached
by cable and electric railways. Ten thousand
dollars aro to be expended in preparing it for
baseball purposes. It is believed that tbe move
is simply preliminary to the placing of a
Brotherhood clnb in St, Lonis permanently.

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.
