Must Wait One Whole Year, For- Decision on Centracts Argument in Supreme Court Will Come Up Next Wintt* Regarding Injunctions Washington, D. C„ Jan. 9.—Baser ball players and managers must wait a year or more before getting light from the Supreme Court on the much disputed question in major league cir cles as to the enforcibility by injunc tion of players' contracts. The point has been raised that contracts with players are not enforcible by injunc tion because they a clause giving the managers the right to ter I-STSTE INVADED ! BY FEDERAL SCOOTS i Tempting Offer Made to Manager I Cockill and Tom Gray by Baltimore Federal League mogus have invaded the Tri-State and are putting forth active efforts to land Manager George < Cockill for the Baltimore cluh, the in- 1 ducement Ijeing a salary equal to four i times that paid in the Tri-State. Offers : have also been made to Thomas Gray, of Williamsport, up the busi ness management of the Baltimore club. Tom Gray has turned down the offer. Manager Cockill has not given his final answer, as he is anxious to ascer tain the probability of the Federal in- j vaslon holding out. if the Baltimore _ backers will sign up a three-year guar antee George Cockill may get busy. A , dispatch from Williamsport says: "A. .1. Aekley, the agent for Haiti more, called on Mr. Gray, in company ; with George Cockill, of l.ewisburg, proposing at the same time that Cockill take the position of manager l of the Baltimore team. Cockill has j been for two years manager of the i Ilarrisburg Tri-State club and in lid led that club to a triumphant victory, winning the distinction of finishing in second place in the 1912 race. "Mr. Ackley's very earnest desire to win both Cockill's and Gray's consent to his offer for the Baltimore team is based, without any question of doubt, on the well-known baseball assocla- j tions and intimate connections of these two men with available baseball ma terial which would make for the for mation of a very strong Baltimore team, could these 'availables' be in duced to follow the lead of Messrs. Cockill and Gray. "While Cockill is reported as consid ering the offer. Gray is quoted as hav ing emphatically stated that he did not favor an affiliation with any club with an unprotected league."
