Can't Reprieve Mexican League Players
Baseball Commissioner A B Chandler said it is impossible to reprieve 18 players who jumped to the Mexican League in 1946 because of the Gardella suit. Chandler told Hig Hurwitz in Miami that he could lift the ban only if the Gardella ruling favored reinstatement, and now cannot act until the case is settled. Gardella, ex Giants outfielder, sued to recover lost salary, challenging the reserve clause. The U S Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a reopening after a lower court ruling.
