CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—The players’ contract was called a mere scrap of paper by Keene H. Addington, the! Federal League chief counsel, resum- ing his argument before Judge Landis to-day in the anti-tust ult against organised baseball. Addington declared there was no real modification of relations between clubs and players deapite changes in the option section of contracts and the elimination from some of the ten-day clause which have been made within the last year or two. “The contracts were changed, but the Natipnal Agreement and the Practices under which organized baseball conducts its business were not,” he sald. “The player thinks he gets something In this contract and itn changes; he gets nothing, The contract Is designed for use in court; the National Agreement and the rules of the National Commission still gov- ern the game.” Addington, quoting portions of the opinion in which Federal Judge Binsell of Grand Rapids disolving the Chicago Americans’ injunction against Hal! Chase, brought out the fact that a player under the National Agreement has no real choice regarding salaries and homes and cited authorities to em- phasizo the right to labor. ‘There was a falling off in attend- ance to-day, Not only were many persons who yesterday crowded the court room and corridors absent, but the assemblage of maguat w notably lens, Representatives of or- ganized baseball wasn still hopeful both sides would have presented cane by the end of the week.

One of the great faults with the Yanks—and most other clubs, for that matter—is that) the fielders fumble ground balls and cannot throw out runuers at the pluto or get the ball away quick enough to make them stop at third.

The St. Nicks defeated the Hockey Club two goals to nothing at the St. Nicholas Rink last night and Hobey Baker, as usual, did about all the heavy work. His pass to Cox scored the first goal in the opening ten sec- onds of play and in the second half he netted the puck himself in a play tl in about once a season, Bakér also had about thirty-five chances to score, but at least a dozen missed by only inch star did all this Hockey Club teai clal defense for him. “Play Baker” player instructed t to stop him, but it was like try- Ing to catch a fleeting shadow.

To hear so much about Hobey Baker one is rrompted to ask just what his teammates were doing. Most of the time they w trying to catch up with their star, If Baker has any fault as a hockey player it is that he ig too speedy for his team. He can’t be fed quick enough. In holding down the St. Nicks to 2 goals the Hockey Club did remark- ably well. Baker, the greatest hockey- iat in America, was dangerous at all times, and much of the credit toward keeping the score down goes to Goal- tender Lewis, who did yeoman work parrying off shots that came raining New Rule of Jockey Club Wiil Bar Two-Year-Olds_ From Races Until April Capt. Cassatt Believes “Baby” Racers Are Often Sent to the Post Before They Are of Age —Many Good Youngstsrs in Butler String. _—_— HEN the stewards of the Jockey Club meet next month to allot dates and make other arrange- ments for the season, they will pass on an important amendment to the rules offered by Capt. E. B. Cassatt and Henry T. Oxnard, which if adopt- ed will do away with the two-year- old or “baby” racing early in the year. The proposed change will not permit two-year-olds foaled in 1915 to hist before April 1 of his two-year-ol Ciations that conduct winter meets and which have in the past put ou events for “baby racers” beginning Jan. 1. It has been pointed out that in many cases a horse often is sent to the post before he really is two years old. The official calendar of the Jockey Club for January contains the norni- nations for the various important stakes to be run this year and also the Futurity of 1917, the latter nom- inations being of horses now in foal. The newly created Home Bred Prod eutumn meeting at Belmont Park has attracted a classy entry of two-year- gids, many of them not yet named. ‘This event is sure to encourage breed- ing at home.

Baker and Ellis shook themselves free and went speeding down the ring. Ellis took a shot and missed. Baker did the same. After making his shot Baker kept going, skated around the net, came out the other side, caught the puck in some mysterious manner and with a sudden twist scooped it into the cage before Goaltender Lewis could get in position. It was a play that is seldom seen, and Baker re- ceived a tremendous ovation for hia wonderful work.
