Pirates Ordered to Pay Syracuse 10000 or Player
Baseball Commissioner Landis ruled the Pittsburgh Pirates must pay Syracuse $10,000 or provide a satisfactory player due to the Cy Blanton trade. Syracuse had returned Blanton to Pittsburgh last May because his sore arm could not heal in time, a move Landis said was within contractual rights. His later arm healing and Blanton’s success with Philadelphia did not change the contract terms.
