PAYIS-IiAIhMlKSTlIW lUNIKUVtlttY WHEN the $500 damage suit of James J. Davis against Oscar and WiMiam Hammerstein, alleging a violation of the Malby Act, is called for trial in the Seventh Dis- answer will be read by the attorneys for the defendants asking for a dismissal of the case, which will doubtless bring forth a few dignified chuckles from the staid and learned judge as well as furnish much merriment for those present familiar with jurisprudence. House. Grossman and Vorhaus, known for miles around as a law firm well nn in all lecral matters oertainine to things theatrical, have been secured by the Hammersteins to represent them in the proceedings instituted by James J. Davis.

These legal -luminaries have filed an answer that ought to go on record, if for no other reason than the elements of comedy' and derision therein contained. The firm should get a gold medal for If James J. Davis was well up in Blackstone and on intimate terms with legal verbiage, he would be prompted to take a peep into his mirror at home and then proceed Jo argue with himself as to his racial identity. Next, he would be forced to call a conference and discuss with his wife, who was with him when the dis rurbance occurred at Hammersteins March 11, the incidents attending his hasty and undignified departure from the lobby of that theatre; for in the answer filed by the Hammersteins it does not require one to be a modern Socrates to observe that they have lapsed into a state of coma on the evicting incident which should demand the sympathy of all friends ana ad mirers. In the general denial filed by the defendants they not only deny knowl edge of the petitioner being a colored man but repudiate the charges made by Davis that he was refused admission on the lower floor on account of color and thrown out of the play- bouse.

Even the allegation that the Hammersteins are owners and man Iters OI me Victoria incaire is qucs tioned, which piece of news will oc casion much comment in theatrical circles, it correct. Although a lecral document is sel- cu uiigm aim unci caiing reading by those not directly interest ed in legal procedure, nevertheless the language used in the suit brought by James J. Davis, through his at torner. James L. Curtis, and the an Swer filed 'by the Hammersteins, House, Grossman and Vorhaus, will be inflicted on The Age readers for perusal.

Bach Side States Its In telling of how he was discrimin ated against at the Victoria Theatre because of his color, Mr. Davis refers to the incident in his petition as fol-. tows First That the said plaintiff is a citizen of the United States of America and a resident of the City, County and State of New York; that he is of African descent and a i member of the race variety com monly called colored people or Negroes. 11th dav of March. 1910.

Sixth.

WherMore the plaintiff prays' judgment against the said defendant and in the sum of $500 for the cost and disbursement of this ac- tion. Defendants Deny Everything.

The answer, containing a general denial of the allegations made by the plaintiff, read as follows: The defendants above named, appearing herein by House, Grossman and Vorhaus, their answer to the complaint, respectfully show to the court and allege: First That the defendants deny that they have any knowledge or information sufficient to each and every allegation contained In the paragraph or subdivision of the complaint designated "First" Second. The defendants deny 'each and every allegation contained in the paragraph or subdivision of the complaint designated "Second." Third. The defendants deny that they have any knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to each and every allegation contained In paragraph or subdivision designated "Third and "Fourth."

According to lawyers representing producers of grand opera and the leading theatrical managers, the decision rendered by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court last Friday in the case of Oscar Hammerstein against Marguerite Sylva is the most serious blow to managers. Under the ruling any actor can Ignore a contract. Hammerstein brought suit against Miss Sylva to restrain her from signing with any other manager than himself during the remainder of a contract into which they had entered and which had not expired. Miss Sylva averred that owing-to the treatment she had received at the hands of the Hammersteins she was released from the contract.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, In dissolving an injunction which had been granted by the Supreme Court, ruled that the services of Miss Sylva were not shown to be of that unique and extraordinary quality which alone justifies an injunction as desired by the Hammersteins. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT By Lester A. Walton Trouble Jn Colored Baseball Leaae Two Team on Blacklist. JUDGING from appearances, peace and harmony do not reign supreme in the International League of Colored Baseball Clubs. Two teams are said to have been recently blacklisted, and contract jumping seems to be a fad.

The clubs that are said to be "in bad" with the league are the Leland Giants of Chicago and the Cuban Giants. From Chicago comes the information that there will be two teams bearing the name of Leland Giants this season. One will be managed by Frank Leland, and will be known as the Chicago Leland Giants, and the other by Secretary Moseley. Messrs. Leland and Moseley are said to have had a split, and a bitter fight Is on In the Chicago courts over the ownership of the Leland Giants, in which $10,000 is said to be involved.

Rube Foster is said to have cast his lot with Moseley and has formed a team in opposition to Manager Leland. As the Leland Giants belonged to the City League of Chicago, Leland is said to have appealed to the league, which promptly took sides with him, and has refused Moseley and Foster the privilege to play their team In the league this summer. Manager Leland's team, the Chicago Leland Giants, has been privileged, however, to join. Manager Bright of the Cuban Giants has incurred the displeasure of the officers of the International League of Colored Baseball Clubs owing to his refusal to pay an assessment to be used In purchasing the championship pennant for the Royal Giants last fall. Manager Bright took the stand that as his team had only participated In two games last season against the Royal Giants, a fair deal had not been given the Cuban Giants.

In the two games between the Royal Giants and the Cuban Giants the New York players won both. Manager Connor Talka. Manager J. W. Connor, who was instrumental in providing Greater New York with the best colored baseball team in America last season, charges that his former captain, "Homerun" Johnson, is doing all he can to Induce the members of hie club to Jump, but up to date has not succeeded.

In speaking of his difficulty with "Homerun" Johnson, Manager Connor said: "Johnson Is doing everything to get my players to leave me, but he has failed In every Instance, the majority of my men are loyal and also know It will not do them any good to be contract breakers. The trouble with Johnson Is that he got angry because I refused to give him an interest in the Royal Giants. For the last two years I have spent thousands of dollars trying to furnish New York with a champion team, and did not think that I should give any one an interest at this time. "While Johnson has Jumped to tho Leland Giants and Robinson to the Cuban Giants, I will have a winning nine, nevertheless. Bowman will play first base instead of Robinson, and I am making arrangements to bring several fast youngsters to the big city.

Earl, Monroe, Bradley, Buckner, James, Mongln, Thomas and Dunbar will be with the Royal Giants again this season." V. N. and I. I. Defeats V.
