Judge Landis Dies at 78 Czar of Baseball
Judge K M Landis, famed as baseball’s steadfast czar since 1920, died Saturday at St. Luke’s Hospital after a long illness. A former federal judge, he banned eight Black Sox for life after the 1919 scandal and steered the sport through rivalling leagues, facing opposition yet earning respect from many owners and officials. His death ends a stormy era of strong rulings and rapid shifts in the game’s governance.

Landis dies at 82 famed for baseball court with power
Former federal judge and baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis dies at 82. Born in Ohio in 1866 he rose from grocery clerk to lawmaker and arbiter, shaping wartime and postwar baseball. He fined Standard Oil and a farmer, settled the 1914 Federal League feud, and ruled with extraordinary powers until health cooled his pace. He requested no funeral service and cremation in line with his wishes.
