The recruit then inquired what
effect the defiance of President
Heydler would have on Benton's
standing and he reports that Judge
Lands declared it would have none
at all.
II have carefully investigated
Benton's case" the Commissioner
is quoted as saying. "And / find
him as clean as any man in base
ball. ] have given out a definite
ruling on the subject and it will
stand. No league official or club
owner can bar such player from
advancing in his profession.
Benton is eligible to play with
the Cincinnati club and no one is
going to keep him from doing so, II
that club wants him.
This is exactly the stand that all
baseball men here have figured that
the Commissioner would take.
Heydlers barring of Benton from
the National League, they contend,
was in diYect defiance of Lands,
ruling and contrary to the rules of
baseball.
1t is expected that Garry Herr.

the first time since the present
trouble began at banquet today at
Lakeland, where the Clevela nd
