 [[Nap Lajoie]] filed a demurrer with the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas requesting that the court dismiss the injunction request filed by Phillies president John Rogers on the 27th. The request specified several grounds for demurrer, including that his contract for the 1900 season covered that season only, that the document had been signed by fewer than the requisite three "team managers," and that, despite Rogers's assertion to the contrary, the services Lajoie provided to the Phillies could readily be provided by many other people.
