[reporting on the oral argument in Philadelphia Ball Club v. Hallman 3/7/1890] [Col. Rogers arguing for his fool of a client] “I want to admit that this is a one-sided contract,” continued Colonel Rogers, but he claimed that professional base ball could not exist without such restrictions being put upon the players and such rights accorded the clubs. What the Philadelphia Club, therefore, asked for was for the Court not to make Hallman play ball with them, but to restrain him from giving his services to the Philadelphia Players' Club.
