PARIS, March 29. — French troops made an attack last night on Avoncourt wood, west of the Meuse, where the German assault was made yesterday. The official statement today says the French carried part of the works which the Germans had constructed. The Germans made a fierce counter attack, but were driven back with heavy losses. They made no effort to recover the lost ground. The recent German attack upon Malancourt was made with a fresh division which was thrown back with heavy losses. ““After an intense preparatory artillery fire our troops dellvered a spirited at- tack against the German positions in the wood of Avocourt. We occupled the southeastern corner of this wood for a depth of more than 300 yards, as well as an important work ealled the Redoubt of Avocourt, which the Germans had strongly fortified. A violent and sudden counter attack delivered by the enemy with a fresh brigade which had arrived on the scene only a few days ago was completely repulsed. The enemy suffered heavy losses and left fifty prisoners In our hands. “East of the Meuse there has been great activity on the part of the opposing artillery forces in the region of Vaux and Douk: t and in the Woevre, in the gector Moulainville. ~“On the remainder ol the front the night was quiet.” Germans Take French Tremches.

March 29— Organized Base Ball is facing an- other attack against its existence in | a suit for $900,000 damages filed in the United States district court here | today under the national anti-trust laws by the Federal base ball club of Baltimore. The defendents in the suit are the Nationa! and American leagues, and the sixteen clubs, mak- |ing up their membership, the three | members of the National base ball commission, James A. Gilmore, Charles E. Weeghman and Harry Cinelair, formerly of the Federal league. If the Federal league of Baltimore wing its suit, Organized Base Ball will be in peril of attack by the f(edeml government, it is said. The | difference between the suit filed to- | day and the one begun by the Fed- | eral league against Organized Base | ball in Chicago in January, 1916, is | that the present action is ohe for injunction to restrain Organized Base Ball from continuing certain acts al- leged to be in violation of the Sher- man anti-trust law. U, 8. May Have to Act, To win the present action, the Balti- more club inust show that Organized Base Ball as at pressnt constituted is in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and the Clayton anti-trust act. If it proves this and recovers damages, lawyers eaid tonight, the govermment may have to take cognizance of the court's decree, ‘The Baltimore club alleges that it was not considered in the negotiations last wintet which resulted in the so-called peace agreement between Organized Base Ball anl Federal league owners and that in consequence it suffered a loss of 300,000 and msks for triple dam- agos under the federal anti-trust laws. The complaints gives a history of the present organization of the.game and its operation, mentioning the National agreement, the National commission, the base ball players' fraternity and the various leagues that enter intg Organ- jzed Base Ball. The «complaint recites the organization of the Federal league, charges that' Organized Base Ball en- tered into & conspiracy to wreck it and goes into detalls of the negotiations Whereby the Federal league was elimi- nated from base ball competition. Charges Conspiracy. The Baltimore club charges that the ional and American leagues are oper- ing in a combination of conspiracy to restrain trade and have conspired to monopolize or attempt to monomolize & part of the commerce of the states in violation of the federal anti-trust laws The complaint states further that in the alleged conspiracy to wreck the Federal league Organized Base Ball gave or secured tp the Brooklyn Fed- eral league club $400,000 to induce that club to cease competing with the de- fendants and that by cash contribu- tions of not less than $50,000 and “flat- tery and persuasion,” induced Charles E. Weeghman and his assoclates to leave the Federal league. The complaint also states: “The plaintiff s informed and belleves and alleges that all of the remaining constituent members of the Federal league, not including the plaintiff, au- thorized a committee consisting, ac- cording to information of the plaintiff, of the defendants, James A. Gilmore, | Harry Sinclair and Charles E. Weegh- | man, to settle their position and to pro- tect their rights as best they might, in- duced thereto, charges, on account of the realization | of the hopelessness of repairing the dam- age already done to the Federal league as a whole by the defection of the ranks of fts most Important members and that the committee has now signed an agree ment on bLehalf of all the assenting members of the Federal league agreeing to eliminate further vompetition with the defendants.
