Action postponed until Monday due to Judge Ralston absence. Bills in equity not yet filed against the four Washington players, though John I Rogers of the Philadelphia National League club may apply for a preliminary injunction restraining them from tomorrow's game. The absence of Judge Ralston will prevent Lajoie Bernhard and Fraser from appearing on the field tomorrow. If security had been entered an appeal would have stayed the injunction.
