Charles: GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, April ll.- The old reserve clause in the con' tracts of organized baseball players was held to be invalid and unenforce~ able i.n a decision handed down yos~ lerday by Federal Judge Clarence W. Sessions, deniying the application of the Chicago Federal League club for an injunction to restraint Catcher lWil- liam Killit‘er. Jr., from playing with the Philadelphia National l..cague club. Contracts of such nature were held by Judge Sessions to be “inch ing- ln the necessary qualities or den- niteness, certainty and mutuality." “A contract exists," said the de- cision. "but if broken by either party, the other is remedylcss because the Courts are helpless to enforce its por- forlnanco or to award damages for its breach.“ Judge Sessions denied the applica- tion solely because the petitioner did not come into court. with clean hands. He said the plaintiff, knew Killifer was under a moral if not a legal oo- ligution to play 'with the Philadcl. phia. club when it Induced him to re- pudiate ills obligation by offering him a longer term of employment and much larger compensation. 'ln so doing a wilful wrong was done to the Philadelpullla club, which was none the loss grievous and harmful because the injured party could not obtain le- gal redress." The 'lionduct of both Kllllfcr and the Federal League club was "tainted with unfairness and injustice. if not actionable fraud.” in the opinion of Judge Sessions. After asking the question: " We the plaintiffs ill court with clean bands?" the count answered it v-wllh‘. the nega- tive ruling that "the motion for an injunction must be denlodéhot be «use there are any equities ip Killi- for’n favor which excuse or "attempt the performance of his en- gazed) té'and not because the mar- its of ltbe controversy are with the Fhllndelphio club. but solely because the actions and conduct of the plain~ lifts do not squire with one of the vital and fundamentaiprlucl- pics of equity."
