Benny Kauff Loses His
Suit for Reinstatement
Supreme Court Is Without
Power to Grant Relief Asked.

Benny Kauff has Iost f,s suit to enjoin
the National Exhibition Company (the
New York Giants) and Commissioner
Landis from keeping him out of profess
sional baseball. Justice Edward Whit
aker In the Supreme Court yesterday
denied Kauff's application for an inJunc-
ton. The case was argued on December
80. Kauff sought reinstatement by
Judge Landis after his acquittal last
summer of charges In connection with
the sale OF stolen automobiles, and
brought suit when unsuccessful In get
ting Reinstatement.
Justice Whitaker in his decision
yesterday said:
Plaintiffs contract is dated January
s, 1921, and was for the baseball season
of 1921 which terminated I'm October
1921. II was optional with defendants
whether the contract should be extended
for another year. Under the provisions
of paragraph IL of the contract unles,
the option was exercised by the plaintiff
and notice thereof given to defendants
the contract terminated in 1921. While
the papers disclose that an apparent In
justice has been done the plaintiff. this
court is without power TO grant him the
relief he asks, there being at this time
no contract between him and the de-
fendants."
AT the argument OF the injunction ap-
rlication former Magistrate Emil Fuchs
claimed that Judge Lands assumed the
attitude of Czar In keeping Kauff from
earning his living in professional base-
hall after he had been honorably ac-
quilted OF the charges against him. He
insisted that the Judges action was
simply n boycott against Kauff and
that Kauffs services TO the Giants were
worth $4,000 for the year.
Attorneys for the defendants main
tained that Kauff was not entitled TO an
injunction and that such Injunction
would be Imperative even VI granted.
Any relief ne might legally seek was IN
the nature of suit for breach OF con-
tract.
