LANDIS WINS i COURTTANGLE Chicago, April 22.-<U,P>-Victor j lions in the first case Involving a test of his authority. Kenesaw I Mountain Landis today was more firmly entrenched than ever before! as commissioner of organized base 1 I ball. Landis' authority as the saprenn [dictator of baseball was upheld in a Federal court ruling handed down I I yesterday by .Bulge Walter C. Lind-1 |’ey in the Fred Bennett case. Judge j I Lindley ruled that Landis had actfed clearly within his rights when 'he declared outfielder Bennett a I free agent last summer. The decision was rpade in a suit I - the first litigation attempted by any club or player challenging Lan!dis’ power — brought by the Mili waukee American Association club i against Landis, with Bennett as the intervening petitioner. Phil Ball, owner of the St. Louis Browns and Milwaukee Brewers, questioned I_andis' power to declare any player a free agent. Judge Lindley ruled that the situation resulting in the loss, of player Bennett's services was clearly one of the St. Louis club’s own making in violating the rules of organized j baseball by attempting to transfer! the player for the third successive [ year to a minor league club without asking major league waivers on him. That the St. Louis and Milwaukee clubs will continue their fight to overthrow the power of laindis was indicated today when Attorney Guy C. Peteis said We planned to carry the case to the circuit court of appeals. Judge Lindley’s rulin; leaves Bennett, who has been idle pending the decision, free to negotiate with any major or minor league club for his services. Backed by the federal court ruling. Landis now can continue his’ war against "chain store baseball" ■ long called by the commissioner ' the deadliest enemy of the national game. It was revealed in the decision that Phil Ball, according’ to the findings of Landis, had controlled completely the St. Louis Browns. Tulsa Western League club and Wichita Falls Texas league club i since February 16. 1928, and that he had owned 50 per cent of the stock in the Milwaukee club since July, 1927, and since January 19, 1929, had controlled completely the latter club. , The Browns attempted to manipulate Bennett back and f; rth between their farms for a period in excess of two years under apparent outright sales and without giving other major league dubs a chance to claim the player's services. Ben* nett was sold by Tulsa to the Browns in 1928, only to be Returned on option and then on outright release the same year. He was s Id to Milwaukee at the end of the 1928 season, but didn't report and was transferred to the Wichita Falls club. In September, 1929, he was sold to the Browns again. St. Louis attempted to release him to Milwaukee, when Commissioner Landis stepped in and ruled him a free agent. —o
