There is the possibility the new rule | may not be cnacted until next year !and that its provisions may not be- | ome operative as to declaring play- ineligible to tournaments and as to | payment of cxpenses until another vear after that. It was said a state- ment would be issued today regarding the committee’s decision.

The papers declare that Organized Baseball bought off the associates of the Terrapins, and that Baltimore, as a result, was the chief sufferer in the transactions that caused the amalgaination of Federal leaguz clubs with those Organized Baseball. According to Janney, one of the chief reasons for the Baltimore Feds taking the matter into court is that two recent decisions indicate that the e will be decided in favor of Terrapins In the same court where the impending suit is to be tried the Federal judge recently decided that motion pictures are within the scops of commerce and in this city Judge Hand of the Federal court ruled that vaudeville actor: come within the same scope. because both films and the actors travel about the country and cross the lines from many states.
