BEARD ANYBODY’S BUT INSIGNIA IS HOUSE OF DAVID’S, SAYS JUDGEBy United, PreenNEW YORK, May 23.—A beard is a man’s own affair but the name of the House of David can not be taken in vain, Federal Judge John M. Woolsey ruled yesterday.He granted the original beardedHouse of David baseball team an injuncti9n forbidding Louis Murphy of Spring Valley, 111., exhibiting a group of unshaven athletes under the “House of David’’ insignia.The court’s learned ruling held that “from time immemorial beards have been in the public domain. Any man may, if so minded, without being subject to any challenge legal or equitable, not only grow such beard as he can, but may purposely imitate another’s facial shrubbery even to the extent of following such topiary modification thereof as may have caught his fancy.”But combining a beard with the name House of David, Judge Woolsey held, indicated a desire to “masquerade as the plaintiff’s team and thus unfairly to compete with it.”
