Another Move Is Made
to Force Lands Out
of Rich Baseball Job

WASHINGTON, Dec 15.-Seeking to
force Federal Judge Lands of Illinois to
give up his position as baseball commits
sioner, Representative Lee, Republican,
New York. introduced a bill in the House
which would forbid any Federal judge
from holding any salaried office other
than a jUdgeship. The bill provides that
the offending judge shall be called before
the Supreme Court OF the United States
on the petition Of any bar association,
and if found guilty, censured and ordered
10 desist from the outside occupation. A
refusal to desist would be Judged a con-
tempt Of court.
The Federal courts are so congested
with work that Congress has just been
compelled to increase by twenty-five the
number Of United States judges" said
Lee. in explaining his bill. Despite the
crying and increasing need of mis- IN
divided attention to the duties Of his
busy judicial office. Judge Lands, in an
unparalleled exhibition Of contempt for
the lofty traditions of the bench, has con-
tracted to devote $4,000 worth of his
time each year to the needs of baseball,
propriety, audacity and gall hitherto IN
known in the honorable history Of the
courts"
Passage Of his bill. Les declared, will
prevent Judge lands from doing IN the
future that which Judge Lands has re-
Gently decreed it is improper for Babe
Ruth to do nOw--that is, to defy pre-
scribed duties to go transforming.

ever. that the present arrangement viii
prevail for another year, as It would be
difficult to call the minors back for
another session just after they have COM
pIeted their annual meeting. If it comes
to a vote Of the minors ii is likely that
the five leagues fighting the draft will
be outnumbered and the cause Will be
won by the majors
The American League has followed
Judge Lands suggestion and adopted
a resolution to the effect that the world 5
seriss be cut from nine 10 seven games.
The Naticnal League IS opposed 10
chanesz1 the present plan. As the junior
major league and the commissioner are
behind it, however, II is thought likely
that the National League viii fall into
line and that next fall there will be q
seven game series.
The first Of a series Of baseball trades
in the Zig leagues was announced late
Wednesday, when the st. Louis Americans
traded eight players. for Dave DanfoTth
star Ieft-handed pitcher OF the Columbus
team Of the American Association.
The Browns will give up Emilio Pal
nero. Roy Sanders, William Burwel and
Grover Loudermilk. all pitchers; Bill
Gleason. second baseman, and three other
players to be selected by the Columbus
team later. Three of the six to be chosen
will be available for the 1872 season and
the others in 1928.
Announcement also was made that the
Detroit American League Club had sold
Chick Shotten to the Browns.
The Boston National League Club an
nounced that it had selected st. Peters

The Chicago Cubs win start their

Veeck today The pitchers and catchers
will depart for Santa Catalina Island on
that date About fourteen pitchers and
i've catchers viii compose the party
which will be in charge Of Manager VII
liam Kfllefer The regulars win time
their departure from Chicago TO arrive

plans was made possible by a revision Of

ing the biggest problem Of his official
baseball career.
The magnates of the National and
American Leagues have issued an open
call to tier $4,000 a year commissioner
to take the reins in the draft situation
and drive it to q favorable conclusion.
The resolutions adopted by the major
leagues at their Wednesday meetings,
thought they were not wOrded exactly
that way call upon the commissioner to
tackle the much debated question OF the
draft and devise a scheme that will sat
tsfy all parties to the present argument
1t was thought quite likely that Com
missioner Lands would take preliminary
steps toward this end today. He was
scheduled to preside over a joint session
of the major leagues at the Hotel COmmo-
dore at which he was expected to make
a talk on the draft and other questions
Of importance that the majors want solved
as soon as possible.
No matter what move IS made toward
settling the draft question, it viii have to
be taken up via the advisory council
which. according to the seven-y year pact
signed last January, may reopen the
draft question at any time, providing
it is the viii Of both majors and minors
to do so.

It was a Sleeper IN the seven-year
agreement signed last year between the
majors and minors, that caused the
majors TO get down of the high horse
on which Charlie Ebbets wanted to boost
them. The sleeper" was found in a sec
ton providing that at any time the ad-
visory council decided It, the draft ques-
tion could be reopened and put up TO
