past ten days intimations have
appeared that there may be
some opposition to renewing the
relationship of the distinguished
jurist with the national pas
time, but as the hour for the
decision nears, this opposition
is likely to disappear entirely.
Common sense would seem to
dictate retaining the services
of the good judge. He was
called into the game when the
owners were almost hysterical
lest the sport would remain un-
der the storm-cloud where It
had been placed by gambling
influences.
He did not ask for the job, he
was virtually drafted or con-
scripted, if you please, for it
by baseball gentlemen frantic to
place some man at the head of
their organization who would
be beyond reproach. They
wanted a man in whom the
entire nation would have con-
fidence; fearless, honest,
straightforward public figure
who could not be touched by
any evil thinkers or evil doors.
Lands, at the moment on the
Federal bench in Chicago, had
shown what type of man he
was in passing a $29,000,00O
fine upon the Standard Oil Com
pany. 1t required a big man to
do that-even if the fine never
was paid. The whole world was
astounded by the size Of that
plaster. Here indeed must be
a big man; one who defied the
largest interest in coming to
his conclusions of justice.
Baseball grabbed for him, and
got him. They offered him a
salary which would be common
surate with the responsibility
of his position. The Judge had
a part of his judicial appoint
ment to serve and was so
scrupulous that he voluntarily
refused his baseball salary until
his appointment on the bench
expired.
During the regime Of Lands
baseball has enjoyed it's most
prosperous years. History has
been made in attendance both
at regular season games and at
world series. Corresponding his
tory has been made in gate re-
ceipts. Baseball parks have
been enlarged to accommodate
growing business. Players and
magnates have earned salaries
