services.
Backed by the federal court ru1-
ing, Lands can now continue his
war against Chain store baseball"
1t was revealed in the decision
that Phil Ball, according to the
findings of Lands, has completely
controlled the st. Louis Browns,
Tulsa Western League club and
Wichita Falls Texas League club
since Feb. 16, 1923, and that he had
owned so per cent of the stock in
the Milwaukee club since July 1927,
and since Jan. 10, 1929, had COM
pletely controlled the latter club.
The Browns attempted to manipu-
late Bennett back and forth between
their farms for a period in excess
of two years under apparent out
right sales and without giving other
major league clubs a chance to
claim the players services. Bell
nett was sold by Tulsa to the
Browns in 1928, only to he returned
on option and then on outright re-
lease the same year. He was sold
to Milwaukee at the end of the 1928
season, but didn't. report and was
transferred to the Wichita Falls
club. In September, 1929, he was
sold to the Browns again. st. Louis
attempted to release him to Milwau-
kee, when Commissioner Lands
stepped in and ruled him a free
agent.

American Association club against
Lands, with Bennett as the inter-
vening petitioner.
Phil Ball, owner of the st. Louis
Browns and Milwaukee Brewers,
questioned Lands power to declare
any player a free agent. Judge
Lindley ruled that the situation re-

the st. Louis clubs own making in
violating the rules of organized
baseball by attempting to transfer
the player for the third successive
year to a minor league club with
