Tener Handed Out a Few Pertinent Facts Yesterday Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 8. Notice was a grain served on all outlaw and other organizations now fighting or ganized baseball by Governor John K. Tener. head of the .National League, that any further attempt and all at tempts to break down the standard of the game would be fought In the courts. His principal reference was to the Federal League and called attention to the fact that the attacks from the Federals have been confined to two points, one that the reserve clause was invalid and the other that the parties to the national agreement are mem bers of a trust. President Tener voiced his opinion that neither charge could be considered seriously. The state ment follows: "Baseball to-day owes its popularity and very existence to organization. Such organization alone has developed and will preserve and perpetuate the gnme to and for the American people. .Nevertheless, organized baseball is be ing attacked to-day by those and those only who desire to reap commercial benefits thereby. Baseball Well Organized "To-day, however, finds baseball more completely and thoroughlv or ganized than ever, and therefore bet ter able to withstand and combat the attacks that are being made upon it. Tho Federal League does not base its attacks upon an allegation that the public has not been given good, clean, high-class baseball or that the' plavers have not been fairly treated or paid commensurate salaries, but it is en deavoring to induce players to break their contracts and seeks to excuse and justify its conduct upon two legal points, namely, the alleged illegality of the reserve clause in the players' contracts and the general statement that organized baseball constitutes a trust. I mean by this that the Federal League has officially announced that It will test the reserve clause in the courts and, failing to justify its con tention of illegality, it will then seek to have organized baseball Investigated and dissolved as a trust. "But such a threatened -war on ar gamzed baseball, begun by promoters simply for financial gain, and based upon broken contracts of players takes no heed or account of the sport loving public, or the real welfare of our national game; and I believe the disapproval of such a war at the bar of public opinion will count far more against this movement and Its pro moters than any technical decisions in the courts, even though such courts should again uphold the legality and equity of the reserve clause. " In 'i 01 ," 18 of fact it Is well known that the legality of the present form of contract between the league and Players was attacked, but its validity in law and equity was sustained bv the Supreme Court in Pennsylvania in the Lajoie case."

This City Doesn't Know When It Began At last we are set down In th« midst of Damascus, a city that can claim life without a break from its founding back In the dim down of the world's history. When Abram crossed the desert from Haran four thousand years ago, this city was standing (See Gen. 14: 15 and IB: 2.) She dates back to the time of the Pharoahs in Egypt; in fact, she was old when Greece and Rome were striplings In years. Rome may be termed the "Eternal City," but Damascus is twice as old, and though her streets have run red with blood of battle and ra pine many tlihes, she has not been overthrown. 'Babylon is an heap in the desert and Tyre a ruin on the shore," but Damascus remains. Was there ever such a place to see the nations of the earth parading" to gether? Here in the marketplace ar« | motley crowds of Persians, Moors, Af ghans, Indians, Egyptians, Sudanese, Jews. Bedouins, Druses, Turks, Euro peans. The streets—so crooked, so narrow, so dirty, so full of life, with that strange spell of the desert upon them. The residences as seen from the street are ugly and disappointlna enough, yet like old barns and turn bledown mills at home, are fascinat ing and picturesque.— The Christian Herald. 11
