fered with Chandler on occasions,

rying nut responsibilities in a posi
tion which, by its very nature is
open to constant criticism, has
been definite and sincere and
furthermore in the best interests
of baseball."

official of the association pointed
out that Chandler had been pi s
ent at one college baseball "world
series" and, alter repeated re
quests, lad replied lo requests for
consideration of proposals to ban
"raiding" of college players. Club
