BASEBALL CASE ! GOES TO COURT ■ Chicago, June 25. 'U.R> Kene-I I -.aw Mountain Landis, baseball's] high commissioner, was “watchful-' . ly waiting'' today tlie outcome of] iilie first baseball case to go Into | court In years. ; Landis, accustomed to have his ] fleets...us obeyed to the letter, was I nrpils-d yesterday when the Mi!-! i waiikee club of the American Asso-1 .elation refused to ob-y his inter-i I pretation of a rule and filed suit in | I Federal court to obtain legal sane-1 pion of its stand. • The trouble arose over player I h-'red B'lin it. now with .Milwaukee.] 'lhnnett is the prop' rly of the St.| Louis Brow’ns and has been so for] i more than two years, during which! time he lias been “farmed out" to] various minor league clubs. Ther-• | a rule in has ball which pro-1 ] vldes that no major league t am' | caA letain ownership of a player: land iarm" him out for more than" two years. 'lllis rule is the cause jof the present trouble. Bennett.! during his ownership by the j ! Browns has b en farm d to Tulsa.; Wichit i Falls and the Milwaukee<!ub, . pending a combined time of wo years in the minor leagues, “he Browns sought to, farm Ben-ii-lt again this year to Milwaukee arid Landis denied that right, standing on the pi t sent rule. Milwaukee then filed suit and tlie move was seen as a renewal of the ild fight between Landis and Ban | Johnson, former American league! jpiesident who lost a battle with] .he c> mmissioner a few years ago,] and resigned as head of the Jun'orl circuit. At that time. Phil Ball, owner of! he Browns Was on Johnson's side! nd he was said to be the only man ' i n the league who did not sign a I paper which request'd that owne:s refuse to either criticise tlie judgment publicly of the commissioner or carry his decisions into court for interpretation. I all now is reported to own more than 50 per cent of th- Milwaukee lull ami the supposition was that I iie wanted to keep Bennett under hii wing while tlie latter develops .nto major league caliber. I.and.s’ decision ord red him to ithe, release Bennett outright or I pransftr h's option on the player] |to some other dub. That, orderl | would comply with the rule which' i major league clubs have followed I or years. 4s matt is stand now. the Fed-] ral comt has continued the case indefinit ly. and baseball men reitis< to c: mnient on what its outomo will be.
