in r'tra rmn i tr tVo Inrv said. "The acts of the defendant, alleged and proved by way of main-tainig the system of organized baseball, constituted in law an attempt to monopolize the business of com-petMive baseball exhibitions for profit and as an inseparable part thereof to rronopolizj camr.ierce between the states and were done In violation of the anti-trust laws."

Strengthened very materially by the trades 'which baseball's David jiiiuiu lunicu auring tne winter, ine Yankee's outlook is so bright that Eastern critics almost unanimously pick the team to give the Red Sox Ihe strongest competition of any club for the league title.
