Here are a few more details:
"Early in the next season Chase dramatically jumped to the newly formed Federal League. After going hitless against Boston on June 20, he went to Comiskey Park the next morning to pick up his belongings, and gave Comiskey 10 days notice. However, he then went immediately to the North Side Park where he joined the Buffalo Feds. He collected a single and double in four trips before 10,000 appreciative fans. On June 22 Comiskey got an injunction order, but Chase could not be served, having left for Ontario, Canada to await developments. On the 25th, Chase returned to the lineup in Buffalo against Pittsburgh. He struck out in the first inning, and in the second inning was presented with the injunction order by the local sheriff. On July 1, Chase brought suit in Buffalo to vacate the injunction. The case began on July 9 and on July 21 the Judge ruled in favor of Chase. He returned to the lineup the next day."
