+After consulting with their lawyers, president [[Ben Shibe]] and manager [[Connie Mack]] asserted that yesterday’s court ruling overturning the decision that allowed second baseman [[Nap Lajoie]] to play for the Athletics last season only applied to Lajoie and not to pitchers [[Chick Fraser]] and [[Bill Bernhard]] who had also figured in last year’s decision. Phillies owner John Rogers announced he would petition the court to issue an injunction against all three players appearing for the A’s in the upcoming season.
