Judge Dewey Rules No Contract In Doan Feller Suit
Judge Charlee A. Dewey ruled that messages Doan offered as evidence do not prove a binding contract between Ray Doan Davenport promoter and Cleveland Indians pitcher Bob Feller. Doan sought about 35000 dollars claiming Feller failed to appear in barnstorming exhibitions after alleged 1945 letters. Feller contends Illinois law bars action on informal contracts over one year, and letter exchanges may not bind.
