his powers. He outmaneouvered his opponents.
 Took Command Early
 Even at the outset, Landis let baseball know who was headman When a committee of league mag mates came to offer him the job Landis let them cool their heels in his ante-room for 45 minutes before receiving them. The Judge = he was then United States Judge concluded his court business, and took baseball's job.
 He became High Commissioner in 1920, when organized baseball was staggering from the scandal of the 1919 World Series. Discipline came int obaseball with Landis. He barred eight Chicago White Sox players from baseball The men had been acquitted when tried under indict- ments charging them with having accepted bribes from gamblers to throw" the 1919 series to Cincin- nati, but the judge held they had forfeited their place in baseball.
 Early in his administrator Lan- dis bumped into Ruth, the biggest name in the game He fined the Babe and tw o ot h CT New York Yankees their full shares of the Worlds Series and suspended them for a meath because they defied rule against transforming
 Down the years the Commissioner came through with other moment GUS rulings, freeing players, ban ming from from baseball Some times his decisions favored the own CTS, sometimes the hired help
 Okehs Pitts
 In 1895 he ruled that Edwin C.. (hlabama) Pitts, a former Sing Sing convict. could play profess sional baseball In 1886, he upheld the Cleveland I n d i a n s claim to Bob Teller, then sensational young school-age Iowa pitcher A year later he declared Tom Hen rich, then a rookie in the minors and now a New York Yankee out fielder, a free agent. He found that Cleveland secretly owned Henrich while he was under contract to mi nor league clubs.
 It is likely that efforts will be made to adopt some method of handling player contracts that will suit the Judge as we'll as the major and minor league club owners.
 But the owners probably will have to do the giving in. The Judge doesn't budge much.

Hits Farm Practices

Landis has long been opposed to some of the methods employed by major league clubs in handling their farm systems. Two years ago he caught everyone unaWares when he severely chastised the St. Louis Car dinals and freed around 100 play CTS.
 Since then he has made free agents of other players and fined other clubs for violations of the baseball code And then, few days ago. he delivered his stiffest punch of all. Four of Detroit's major league players, including infielder Benny Mccoy and outfielder Roy Cullenbine, and ST minor league 'ath- letes were declared free agents They are eligible to sell their. ser vices to the highest bidder.
 In this biggest ruling of it's kmo in major league history, Detroit's farm chain was turned topsy-turVy and the Tigers hopes. of overhaul | ing the Yankees in this summer campaign were dealt severe blow Landis has been at odds with var ious of the major league owners al times during the 20 years he has been baseball's High Commissioner But he hasn't been whipped.

New Workers Urged About
 Cleanliness
Millions of Slogans, Dit- ties, Rhymes, Hints
 Appear Everywhere
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Jan. %. - New Workers are constantly being ex- horted by million slogans, ditties and rhymes to keep the streets clean and remember their manners Such has been the depth and sweep of this drive that now we have a virtual renaissance in rhyming couplets and polite little Chester fieldian hints and if one were to traverse the town a whole Chlld's anthlogy of street cleaners verse might easily be compiled.
 There is a fine example of the type of couplet that i3 calculated to shame" you into being nice up in Ft. Tyron Park, where some really beautiful gardens may be eeen, and if you study the placards posted prominently about, you will come across.
 Let no one say, and say to your
 shame,
 That all was beauty until you
 came"
 Here and thereabout the city are lovely stretches of green lawn with blunt Keep Off the Grass" warn ings in plain view. But Central Park has discarded this crude re- hinder for the most polite Please. '' That's all |. just Please.
