foundation of baseball's current government. With that power behind him, Landis met the issue by banning from baseball for life the eight Chicago “Black Sox” players found guilty of throwing the world series to Cincinnati, Landis went into the job swinging and he never stopped. Whoever violated baseball's rules or—in Landis’ eyes—was. hurting the game, felt the weight of the judge's power. Bans William D. Cox
One of his most important decisions was made in 1943 when he banned from the .game William D. Cox, president of thé Philadelphia Phillies, who admittedly. had bet on games in which his team was playing, in violation of the major league rules, Although Landis made enemies, he made as many friends among baseball moguls and was re-elected to the $65,000-a-year commission er's post in 1928, 1935 and 1942. Only last Nov. 17 the joint Amer-ican-National league committée recommended that “K. M. Landis be "re-elected to another seven years.” Misses 1st World Series
Landis missed his first world series since he took office this year when {illness kept him from Journeying to St. Louis to see the contest between the Browns and Cardinals, However, he followed. the game closely by radio. From the time he took office until his death, Landis truly was the czar of baseball. His decisions concerning the rules of the game were law until 1936 when he met his first defeat, . Both major and minor leagues rejected his prpposal that all clubs submit to him full information on any players recommended by major and minor clubs. Chain Store Baseball His “emancipation proclamation” needled the uprising again the 1939 when he lashed out at chain store baseball. Because of “cover-up” deals, he freed nearly 100 players from the St. Louis Cardinals chain and 94 from farm teams of the Detroit Tigers. . Then, in 1940, when he laid down & seven-point edict covering working agreements and transfers of players, there arose such a storm of protest ‘that Landis was forced to compromise for the first time, Landis often worked at his job seven days a week until he was seized by pneumonia in 1941. After that, his health forced him to stick to a more conservative working week,

Sugar Robinson Wins Another Battle
DETROIT, Nov. 25 (U. P.).—Ray (Sugar) Robinson, New York, had boosted his string of victories since his discharge from the army to three today after scoring a 10-round decision over veteran Vie Dellicurti, also of New York, at Olympia stadium last night, Despite the fact that he gave way nine pounds in weight, Robinson finished the fight strongly, landing hard rights and lefts to Dellicurti’s ‘face right up to the final bell. However, he failed to stagger his balding opponent who tried to use his weight advantageously by boring in constantly in an effort to land the pay-off punch. Robinson weighed in at 149 pounds, Dellicurti at 158.

Love for Game Grew in State
“LOGANSPORT, Ind, Nov, 25 (U. P.)~Friends of Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis recalled that he developed a lasting love for the game while playing with local amateur and semi-professional teams as a youthful newspaper reporter. Landis moved to Logansport with his family when he was 7 years old. He delivered . newspapers each. morning before school on the family horse, “Buckskin,” after his father, Dr. Abraham Landis, was forced to give up his medical practice because. of civil war injuries. During his summer vacations, he worked on nearby farms. Landis left school during his first high school term and went to work as a clerk in a grocery. - Landis later became a reporter for the old Logansport Journal. While covering the courthouse beat, he became interested in law and taught himself shorthand. He be« came so expert that he was appointed Cass circuit court reporter in 1883. Frequently in Logansport Impressed by Attorney Michael Fansler Sr., father of the present Indiana supreme court justice, Landis saved his money to attend Union College Law school in Chicago. He retained his affection for Logansport and his old friends. Once, a Logansport resident visited Landis in federal court at Chicago during an important, trial. Seeing him from the bench, Landis sent a bailiff to escort the visitor to him. He sat with the judge during the remainder of the session. . ‘The baseball commissioner visited Logansport frequently to see two nieces and four nephews, including his: namesake, Kenesaw, Mountain Landis II, county prosecutor and newspaper columnist. Except the late Dr. John Landis, all of the commissioner's brothers and sisters were buried in Mt. Hope cemetery here, including the late Congressmen Frederick and Charles Landis. - Frederick Landis, an edi-
