Washington April 3 The case of organized baseball in the 900000 damage suit brought by Baltimore Federal League club against the National and American leagues was outlined Wednesday before the DC supreme court by George Wharton Pepper counsel for the defendants. Pepper argued the Sherman act covers only inter state industries and not sports bodies. He said the Baltimore complaint centers on two charges including a conspiracy to ruin the Federal league and that the peace pact was an invitation to meet on common ground to aid the league. He added organized baseball contends the call for a peace conference was endorsed by constituent clubs with representatives present.
