favoring the retention of A. B.
(Happy) Chandler as commis
sioner of baseball.
Opening their annual meeting

ment through President J. F. Mc

fered with Chandler on occasions,

because of his tireless and effec
tive efforts to advance the game
of baseball, should be retained as
baseball commissioner.
"His straightforwardness in car
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
