Addington cited agreement, features of the na decisions of the National commission and general practices of baseball authorities to show that the game is governed by a group having almost absolute power, with authority to make laws, judge of infractions of the laws and im- pose penalties for infractions. Addington had not finished nis opening argument when court ad- dourned last night and it was declared the case probably would last well In- to next week. The first session at- tracted a large number of basebhall followers, and though the arguments involving much legal matter, had no thrills for them, they were recorn- pensed partly by close views of cel- chrities. Among the latter were the presidents of both big defendant leagues, the chairman of the Nation- al commission, the leaders of the Iederals and a or more of magnates and plavers of note, With Addington took issue with Garry Herrmann, on Herrmann's contention that the reservation of players wasa matter individual contract.
