Text	The injunction was denied and Ward scored a clean knock-down in the legal tilt with the League. In his opinion Judge O'Brien allowed that the word “reserve” held the player, as shown by his supplemental contract with the New York Base Ball Club, but maintained that the contract in its entirety was unequal in its conditions and could not be enforced in a court of equity. He recommended a speedy trial in order that the ends of justice might be served, but in a quiet and unmistakable way explained to the plaintiff that he had not a chance in a thousand to win his suit. The very inequity of the alleged contract was enough to prevent its enforcement, allowing that all claims made by the plaintiff were correct. [The entire opinion follows.]
