 FOR BLANDlNG.

Chicago, June 5-The Kansas City Federal league club yesterday serxed notice on Pitcher BIanding, of the Cleveland Americans, to appear be- fore Judge Foel1, in the superior court here, next Monday. when it intends to mcge that a temporary injunction be granted restraining him from playing with Cleveland or any club other than the Kansas City Federals.
 13landtng, the Kansas City club will try to show, signed a contract with 1t and received $2,5o0 advance money, but before the season opened jump ed his contract, though it had no 'sten-day clause and returned to the Cleveland club
 The hearing is to come up before the same judge who recently decided against the Kansas City club in the Johnson case, the Cincinnati Nation aIs in that suit occupying the same place that the Kansas City club does here. according to Federal league counsel. The F-ederals claim credit for notifying Banding, saying that the same courtesy was not shown Johnson.
 It was Blandingis return to the Cleveland club that caused President Gilmore to permit the Kansas City club to e'go after any players under contract,'' The reserve rule, which held Banding to Cleveland, will be a factor in the new suit which did not come up in the Johnson case.
