Federals Primed to Win Regardless of Injunction Ruling
Chicago April 2 The Federal League contends it will win whether the Grand Rapids court grants the injunction against William Killiter or not. EB E Gates, the league counsel, says a ruling for injunctive relief would force Killiter and others to honor Federal contracts, while denial would undermine contracts across organized baseball. Gates, President Gilmore and Charles Weeshman plan to travel to Grand Rapids for the hearing.
