ClnCACiO, Jan. 20 The powers tlmt control organized haseoall were deBeribed as oppressors of minor leagues and players by Keene counsel for Hie Federal league, in ilia opening address todav in the antitrust suit against the commission, the American, league and the National league. Tho attorney cited features of the National agreement, decisions of the National commission and general prnctues of base- null authorities to show that the game is governed by a group having almost absolute power to make laws, judge infractions and Impose penalties. Addington had not linished his open-nig argument when court adjourned tonight and it was declared tuo ease probably would last ivell into next week.

The lirsi session attracted a largo number of baseball followers, and ollicials, including the presidents of both defendant leagues, ihc chairman of tho Rational commission, loaders of the Federals a many plavcra of note. Addington devoted a largo portion ot his address to, an attack on the waiver and draft rules and practices We declared the former vested control ol the player not alone jn. the club he serves but also in other clubs. His ehunoo of becoming a free agent is slight, according, to Addington. since requires netion of many different entities.

The attorney charges that the waiver method ln.j been used as a moans of humiliating or disciplining player, tie relorrcd to a statement made in an allidavit by Murdeciil Drown that when i'residelit Murphy of the Chicago Nationals sold aim to Louisville it was with the agreement that Brown never would bo allowed again to join the majors. Attorney George W. Alillcr, for rthe defendants, called attention the tact that Brown later played with Cincinnati, In a major league, but Addington said that the agreement between Chicago and 'Louisville was what he wished to show was possible. "I'lven If it kept a plnyer out of major league ball only for a time, the harm ia argued.
