The COURT OF LAST APPEAL IN BASEBALL TALKS OF PLANS

IT TOOh q week to get to see Judge
L Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the new head
Of organized baseball, and. no doubt, The
busiest man In the whole world
A week Of phone calls, tentative ar
rangements, vista, disappointments-and
then one afternoon sat waiting in the third
and outer room of his chambers in Chiclgo's
federal building.
Waiting also were two fashionably
dressed committeswomen with long trf-
colored badges and an escort; colorcd
preacher and q colored layman; young
man out of a job and two hungry looking
newspapermen.
When he stepped into the room Judge
Landis walked from one to the other OF US
and stripped our hands. He forthwith sat-
isfed the committeewomen with their badges
and escort; he promised the colored gentle
men that he would be happy to talk at their
church; he took batch Of letters from the
young man out of a job and assured him
that he would look them over and write
Recommendation for him; and then be
turned to the rest Of US.
'T tell you. gentlemen, it's a shame;"
be said In q deep, strong voice. And he
shook his head Of snow white hair. When
he Is In thought he looks at the floor and
slowly rubs his chin over his high collar.
TITS q shame, gentlemen. That young
man vas overseas eighteen months, in the
thick OF it.. he comes back here and ne
can't get job. II you or I were out of

seems slight; in the rugged lines of his
bronzed and thoughtful face; in the gravity
and power Of his eyes; in the vigor and sim
plicity of his unlesal talk. One can scarcely
imagine his wrestling with "whereases'' and
''aforesaids" and parties of this, that and
the other parts; one sees him tearing,
cracking his way through, straight to the
meat.

formally over certain near, and some per-
haps remote, aspects of his new position.

Studied law. Made some friends in court
who were mixed up in politics. Our side
happened to win. Then 1 began prac-

push ahead despite all the twists and turns
against him, till he gets, to be what he
planned to be. 1 don't want to say it's
impossible. But in all my years Of ac-
quaintance with men, if there is one who's
forged ahead in that clear cut way, he's
kept his identity pretty well concealed.

The judge laughed: Yes, that poor mans

prominent men neglect to give the Goddess
of Chance her due. When they attain a
certain amount of what the world calls

It's sort of habit.
but what advice, say about success,
could give that young man, who wanted
a job? couldn't tell him what to do. It's

NO." answered the judge gravely,
but little bit goes long way.
Baseball must be clean. Espe-
cially because baseball, like, other
sports, is a cleanser itself. Every
man has thought about play that
way. The idea isn't new. Brig
people out into the open away from
city congestion and you're bound to
do them good. Saw

Crime doesn't breed out in the open,

gesting that folks in congested dis
tricts are criminals, nor am ! sug-
gesting that they have in them
tendency to be, or are liable to be-

are the same as other folks. But l
do say that folks need to be taken
out somewhere where competition is
fair, and the interest pure and the
air good.
"All the more reason, you see,
why sports, and especially baseball
because of its large appeal, must be

be kept on the highest level for the
sake of the youngsters"
BASEBALL promoters have Sc
- lected an arbiter who will be
chiefly successful because of his
strikingly sane attitude toward
human beings and toward his own
achievements. Judge Landis' genuine
interest in people, outside Of the
courtroom is apparent in the un-
wavering confidence with which he
is honored by the citizens of Chi
cago, from business executive to
elevator man-they all mention his
name familiarly as they would a
good neighbor's. His genuine in

"You know, there are two kinds of gam
