Moak- ley came here to attend 4 banquet of the Cornell Engineers’ Club, which was held Jast night. He told those gathered about the festive board that with the new facilities this year at Cornell the university would win a lot of additional glory in athletics and other branches of outdoor sports. Moakley says a new track built near the college will interest students who heretofore have not gone In for athletics, Formerly it meant a long trip to the training track. The new layout is close to the baseball cage, which contains dressing rooms and shower baths. The baseball cage gives the jumpers and shot putters Attention!

That is, they may be champions within year, “There are about 200 more men go- ing to try for a place on the team this year than ever before,” continued Moakley. ‘The Indoor collegiate meet- ing in New York this winter has enthused a lot of the undergrads, but I think the real reason for this liberal responae is our new facilities—that Is, the track near the college.” Three of Moakley's be: erformers last year have been lost through graduation.

He had ° not gone far when Judge Landis asked"; him to define just how far the Federal League wanted thé requested tempor+ ary injunction to go. “The court would like to know if the plaintiffs seek to stop all operations ef the defendants, or whether they seek merely to stop alleged tampering by the defendants with Federal League players.” Judge Myers explained that he was not handling that end of the case, Attorney E, E, Gates was sent in to Pinch hit for the ex-Indiana jurist. Gates explained the Federals merely wanted, in the temporary injunction, to restrain organized baseball from interfering, through court action or any way, with plans they might have for Spring training. He pointed out that organized baseball might sue out tgnporary injunctions in State courts, preventing certain players from starting spring training. The court took this phase under advise- ment and requested Attorney Myers to proceed with arguments. The Federal League drew firet blood to-day when Ellis G. Kindead, or ized baseball counsel, admitted that the new 1915 contract contained e renewal clause, as charged by eral attorneys. Challenging the statement mad yesterday that O. B. players were bound by the reserve clause only for one year more than the contract term, which he sald wis limited to one year, Quincy Myers, Federal League attorney, charged the players were forced to sign a renewed clause contract every ye Counsel Miller, for the organized baseball contingent, challenged his statement. Federal Attorney Addington pre- sentd a 1915 contract submittd to Player Konetchy by President Drey- fuss of the Pittsburgh Pirates, which, he asserted, contained the renewal clause, He demanded that organized baseball produce contracts signed with Ray Caldwell, Ivy Wingo and Walter Johnson, and requested that the Konetchy contract be made part of the record, Every O. B. lawyer in court entered the fray, contesting the right of Fed- eral attorneys to enter the 1915 con- tract as a part of the court record. For the first time in the hearing, Kinkead and John Galvin of Cincin- nati and George Williams of St. Louis took the floor. When Addington demanded that Ben. B. Johnson, August Hermanm and John K. Tener be placed on the stand to determine whether or not the new 1915 contract was different from former contracts, Attorney Mil- ler offered to make admissions that the Konetchy contract was the same as those signed by Caldwell, Wingo and Johnson, Attorney Kinkead, who said he had seen the contracts of Wingo and Caldwell, made the ad- missis Wh Addington presented the motion for the producing of the Wal- ter Johnson contract, Kinkead ob- jected because “there might be cer- tain terms in the contract regarding the salary that the Washington Club might not want to be made public,’ Addington retorted that he -had served notice on the O, B. lawyers Jan. 16, asking to see the new form of contract. Counsel admitted this, Finally Judge Landis abruptly halted what he termed a “debate be- tween the lawyers" and recessed court. “We made a home run and it was our best Innin said President Gil- more of the Federals at recess, a HIGH SCHOOL BOYS FIGHT AFTER BASKETBALL GAME.
