RESERVE CLAUSE
DOES NOT HOLD
Federal Judge Knocks Down the Props
From Organized Baseball in the
Killifer Case.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 11.—
United States District Judge Session,
of the Western District of Michigan,
today rendered a decision in the in
junction suit filed here on March 2lt
by the Federal Baseball League to
restrain William J. KUlifer, Jr., from
jumping his contract with the Federal
League Chicago club and rejoining the
Philadelphia Nationals, which held
him under a reserve clause.
! Judge Session decided that the base
ball reserve clause is illegal and that
it is in violation of the constitution of
the United States in that “neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude shall
exist in the United States, except as
a punishment for crime." f
While they failed to secure tne in
junction asked for, the magnates of,
the Federal League are jubilant at the
outcome of the suit, as it has destroy
ed the reserve clause upon which the
major leagues depend to keep all of
their players from year to year.
In deciding the case Judge Session
scored Killifer for breaking his word
after he had signed with the Chicago
Federals and told him that % man re
ceiving almost $6,000 a year for six
months work, who could not keep his
contract, but was looking for an op
portunity to break it to secure more
money, was too contemptible to be
playing the game.
The suit was brought in this city
because Killifer is a resident of Paw
Paw, Mich.
Killifer signed a three-year con
tract with the Chicago Federals, but
afterward was persuaded that the re
serve clause in his old contract with
the Philadelphia Club held him leg
ally to Philadelphia, and he joined his
former team.
The complaint, which was signed by
Charles Weghman, president of the
Chicago Federal League Baseball
Club, told of the signing of the con
tract by Killifer, who agreed to play
for three years for the Chicago Fed
erals for a total of $17,500. or $5,
833.33 a year. The contract, a copy
of which was attached to the petition
for an enjoining order, expressly stip
ulated. the court was informed, that
Killifer agreed to devote his entire
time and attention to the service of
the Chicago Federals.
The court was informed that $500
was advanced to Killifer on account,
and was accepted by him, and is
still retained. Failure to report' for
practice, in accordance with his con
tract, was alleged against Killifer.
The bill set forth “that one of the
principal positions on a baseball team
is that of catcher; that on accolint
of its importance and of the extraordi •
-nary skill, adaptability and training
necessary for the expert playing of
this position, it is more difficult to se
cure an expert catcher than any of the
other players.”
A paragraph informed the court
"that the defendant is a baseball play
er, to-wit: A catcher of unique and
extraordinary skill and expertness,
and of such personal and intellectual
j character that his loss cannot be sub
i stantially compensated for by the ser
vice of some other baseball catcher.”
The bill set forth that the Chicago
Federals would suffer irreparable in
jury unless a restraining ordet.issue,
qnjolning Killifer from playing with
clubs other than the Chicago Federals
■and more particularly with the Phil
adelphia Nationals, with whom the
complainant believed Killifer was now
in active practice in preparation for
the opening of the baseball season.
