Judge Barcley's Court was crowded this morning with base-ball players ans patrons of the game, to hear the Judge's verdict in the Oberbeck suit against the St. Louis Club, of the National Association, for $431, the balance of wages claimed to be due on a six month's contract last season. The verdict was in favor of Oberbeck for the full amount. Oberbeck was dropped last season after a month's trial, and Mr. Von der Ahe refused to pay him his salary for the rest of the season. The question in dispute was whether Oberbeck had signed only the old style contract or both that and the new, binding the player to consent to his discharge at any time.
