of the fans of that hustling town,
should be given the franchise.
Landis ordered all concerned to ap-
pear before him yesterday in New Or
leans, where the minor leagues are
in session. A decision apparently was
reached quickly.
Although the fight lasted many
weeks, it appeared certain that Eas-
ton would be given the franchise. 1t

the Shore, or in any section for that
matter. Easton led all of the other
towns in attendance during the reg

the team finished in the second divi-

from Daniel M. Henry, who has led
the fight to obtain the franchise on
behalf of the Easton fans. Along
with Mayor Wrightson, he has been
fighting for a month to straighten
out a tangle that finally was carried
before Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lam
dis for decision.
The fight was caused by "hidden
sale" between Doc Jacobs, who man.
aged the team last season, and the
Brooklyn National League team. The
Easton Athletic Association had pa
pefs which gave it the right to buy in
the event of a sale.
Judge Lands cancelled the sale, is
sued an order barring Jacobs and
Brooklyn from operating a team in
the Shore League for a period of
three years, and turned the franchise
over to the directors of the Shore cir
cult.
It later was announced that Harry
Russell, president of the Eastern
Shore League, would poll the club
owners of the circuit in order to
straighten out the situation. Several
side offers were made for the fran
chise. The club owners decided to
postpone action until the annual meet
ing Of the league in January.
The Easton officials, unwilling to
hold up their plans until that time,
moved to force an early decision.

ing that in his opinion the Easton Ath-

percentages have been raised hidden assessed against
