Text	[from an interview of Ward] This move by the magnates [to sue for injunctions] was just what we expected, and it will intimidate no one. The best lawyers, if they start on a misunderstanding of the facts, will reach a wrong conclusion, and this is just what Evarts, Choate & Beaman have done. They seem to think that the clause in the contract was the origin of the ‘reserve’ relation between player and club, and that then afterwards the various clubs agreed to respect this resolution. This puts the cart before the horse, for the reserve relation was created by the agreement among the clubs and had existed for years before it was mentioned in the contract. So that when we used the word it already had a definite technical meaning.
