| Text | Judge Arnold, of the Common Pleas Court, No. 4, yesterday granted a application made by John I. Rogers for L. C. Krauthoff, of the Kansas City Base Ball Club against John T. Pickett and the Players' League Club of this city for a mandamus to restrain Pickett from playing with the Philadelphia team during the present season. The case was argued before the Court at length last Saturday, when Mr. Rogers represented the Kansas City Club, and John M. Vanderslice and John G. Johnson appeared for Pickett. … The following decree was issued by the Court: “It is ordered that an injunction be issued restraining John T. Pickett until final hearing of the case from playing base ball with or giving his services as a base ball player for the season ending October 31, 1890, to any other club or organization, person or persons other than the Western Association Base Ball Club, of Kansas City, Missouri; and also restraining the Players' National League Base Ball Club, of Philadelphia, from employing John T. Pickett or otherwise interfering with the giving of Pickett's services for the season of 1890 to the Western Association Base Ball Club, of Kansas City, upon security being entered in the sum of one thousand dollars.” The Philadelphia Times May 6, 1890 The Pickett case was settled yesterday by Mr. Pickett repaying the $200 which was advanced to him on account of salary, and the payment to the Kansas City Club, through Mr. Rogers as attorney, of a certain sum of money (the amount of which is a matter of no public importance), in settlement and discontinuance of the injunction case and to cover certain costs and expenses which the Kansas City Club has incurred in the matter.
