Landis Death Marks End of Era in Baseball and Law
Former federal judge and baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, famed for stern rulings and extraordinary powers, died after years of health decline. He directed landmark actions including railroad rebates, the 1914 Federal League settlement, and early labor transfer edicts, leaving a contentious but lasting legacy in sport and law. He was born in 1866 in Mineville and rose from grocery clerk to Chicago lawyer before Roosevelt appointed him to the bench in 1905.
