COUNSEL FOR MAJORS
HITS FEDERAL BODY
Questions Court's Jurisdiction;
Tells How Players Are De
veloped For Big Leagues
Special to The Telegraph
Chicago, 111., Jan. 22. —The ques
tion of the Federal Court's jurisdic
tion and the renewed declaration that
the National and American Leagues
have so modified their contracts that
a player becomes a free agent the
year after the expiration of his agreed
term of service were features at yes
terday's session Of the antitrust suit
against the most powerful bodies of
organized baseball.
Judge Landis brought up the ques
tion of jurisdiction again, and George
harton Pepper, of Philadelphia, of
counsel for organized baseball, dis
cussed it at some length after the
Federal League attorneys had stated
their side o fthe case. Pepper quoted
authorities to show that there must
be a Federal question involved to se
cure hearing in a Federal Court. He
declared the intervening suit of Lee
Magee was not to be regarded, and
said the only Federal question was
that in the charge that the defend
ants maintained a monopoly in re
straint of interstate comerce.
. Sjwtions of the Clayton law were
cited to show that labor is not re
garded as an article of comerce, and
the decision in the Hammerstain-
Metropolitan Opera Company case
was brought in as another authority
on the same subject.
The decision, holding that the labor
©f opera singers was not commodity

MIKE GIBBONS WINS
TEfll-ROUND BATTLE
Pace Is Too Fast For Jimmy Clab
by, the Indiana
Boy
Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 22.—Mike
Gibbons, the St. Paul middleweight,
had the better of Jimmy Clubby, the I
idol of Hammond, Ind., in ten last j
rounds here last night. In spots the ]
bout was fast and hard fought, but at i
other times it was marred by the j
clinching of both principals.
Gibbons carried the harder punch
and repeatedly landed on Jimmy's jaw
with his smashing right that rocked
Clabby more than once, but Mike was
never able to land a finishing punch.
Clabby used a stiff left jab and a
right to the body.
Gibbons was the first to enter the
ring. He was given a great ovation,
and Clabby, who followed shortly af
ter, also received a rousing welcome.
Jack Dillon, the Indianapolis fighter,
stepped into the ring and challenged
the winner. Oillon stated he had a
certified check for SI,OOO in his pocket,
with $4,000 more in a bank in In
dianapolis, to bind a match with the
winner.
When the fighters stepped on the
i scales at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon they were both below the re
quired weight—lsß pounds. Clabby
was slightly heavier than Gibbons.
Jimmy tipped the beam at 153
pounds stripped, while Mike weighed
153 VI with his fighting togs on.
There were many baseball figures in
the crowd, among them being Roger
Bresnahan, manager of the Chicago
Cubs, and Clarence Rowland, the new
manager of the Chicago White Sox.
The fight delegation was also repre
sented by two ex-champions and a
champion claimant, Ad Wolgnst. for
mer lightweight dictator, and Johnny
ICoulon, bantamweight title holder un
til Kid Williams dethroned him, while
Eddie McGoorty, the Oshkosh middle
weight were sitting near the ring.

MARTY KAVANAGH ANXIOUS
Derision in Injunction Suit May Make
Him a Free Agent
The impending crisis in the great
est baseball war in history is being
watched by thousands of people
throughout the United States, but
there is no one in the player ranks
to whom the final decision will mean
more than to Marty Kavanagh, the
two games. The local tossers are-flnx
ious to win to-morrow and will pre
sent a strong line-up. Following this
game there will be the usunl series
between the Greeks and Romans.
The track team this year will in
clude a number of promising athletes.
Work has already started and prac
tice every day will be the order, be
ginning Monday.
former York Tri-State League player.
Kavanagh has come out flat-footed
with a statement that under no con
ditions will he play for Hughey Jen
nings again in Detroit.
Differences between Kavanagh and
his manager led Kavanagh to reach
the decision. At present he is signed
to a Detroit contract, which is bind
ing, but if organized baseball is de
clared to be a trust and shorn of its
j bulwark—the National Commission—
Kavanagh's contract will then be il
legal and he may sign with whom ha
pleases.
Marty has been hoping that he
would be traded or sold, but nothing
has been done in that direction. He
states that he has an offer from a big
manufacturing concern in Philadel
phia to play independent ball next
year, and he is considering it.
