Dissolution of the national baseball commission, the "supreme court" of organized baseball absolute severance of relations with the national association of minor leagues and revision of the players contracts eliminating the ton days and reserve clauses will bo the probable ' result ol the $240,000 verdict granted the Baltimore club of the federal base ball league by a Jury in the District of Columbia supremo court yesterday. These revolutionary mcr.Faires to safeguard baseball from all future le gal attacks were forecast by Ban John son, president of the American league, upon his return from Washington to night The American and National leagues, together with their club own ers and officials, and certain officials of the defunct Federal league were de fendants in the, $900,000 suit for dam ages brought under the Sherman anti trust law. President Johnson said that an ap peal would be taken to the board of appals of the District of Columbia, and, if necessary, to the supreme court of the United States. "The verdict of course, is a blow to baseball," President Johnson said, "but we are not particularly distressed as it was nothing more than we expected under the circumslances. Wo were bound to appeal, no matter what the amount of damages involved was. "We do not want to be charged with operating in restraint of trade; neither do we want the charge of conducting a monopoly hanging over us. Wo can see a ray of sunshine because of the caci itiat we can appeal if tbe ver dict has been brought In our favor. v,e would have been denied that privi lege." While declaring that he did not care I to ridicule the verdict, or the Justice IXit the court, President Johnson said I the attorneys for the Baltimore club talked like '"Lenine and Trolzky." ' "You would have thought that we j wore on trial in Russia," the Ameri I can league executive said. "Wc were Changed wiih all manner of crime? ! The attorneys for the plaintiffs re- forred to me as the 'czar' of baseball iand gave the impression that we were or. ihe threshold of teh penitentiary. 1 "Baseball has been conducted under j ihe present Bystem for forty years and has been persistent in its success of , keeping the sport clean and retaining the dignity of the game. If we have I been wrong in our operations, then, of course, wc want to know about it." j What methods the American and Na ! tlonal leagues would adopt to govern themselves would be amdig the earlv I developments. Pres'dea. Johnson said. The leagues would be obliged to con I duct their affaire independently and the national commission would h: el 'to be abolished if the verdict is sus j 1 LaiuLni, he said.

Commenting on ihe victory of the Baltimore Fed (eral League baseball club in Wailh ;ington yesterday In its suit charging jihe major baseball leagues with main taining a monopoly of baseball, John A. Heydler, president of the natioual league, expressed tonight "the greatest I disappointment" at the elimination bv line trial judge of evidence bearing on 'the negotiations leading to the peace agreement with the Federal league. "If ever men acted in good faith," Mr. Heydler said, "they were those I representatives of the National and American leagues who met the .-lelo-1 gates of the Federal league at the WJ-' dorf on the night of December 17, 1 1015. and entered into a compact with them tor the purpose of restoring bast ball order and discipline."
