is investigating claim by the Des
MoineS club of the Western League
that Bob Feller, 17-year-old right
handed pitcher, who has won four
games for the Cleveland Indians,
should be declared a free agent.
E. Lee Keyser, president of the
DeS Moines club, has asked that
the sensational youngSter be de-
clared a free agent on the ground
that Cleveland violated baseball
law by signing him directly from

Cleveland claims it acquired Feller
