M. Landis' dog house today after doing a three year stretch for irregularities in farm operations. . That's what the judge culled it on Jnnuary 14, 1940, when ho cracked down on the Tigers in n momentus decision unmatched by baseball annals that set 90 players free on any strings held by Detroit. Furthermore, the whlte-nianod commissioner fixed a three-year embargo on Detroit dealings with a dozen or more minor league affiliates involved in tho decision and likewise prohibited the Tigers from, making any passes at the emancipated talent. The time limit was up today. With Hank Grccnberg and 17 others in the nation's service, the Tigers could use some rein forcement, and General Manager Jack Zcllcr would derive per sonal , satisfaction from getting back somo of the 90. But those still in the game are well sowed up. ... "Ninety players. Jus' think of it," Zeller said longingly. "Why. that's about three times as many players as we have available now. That's practicnlly half a league of war standards."
