DISTRIBUTED BY f.ATlONAl DISTILLERS Rickey Will Be Offered League Job NEW YUllK i LTD Branch Kickey. 7-your-old elder-slale man of baseball, will be offered the job as first president of the newly-formed Continental major league, it was learned today by United Press International. "Branch Rickey is the must logical choice for the position," a source close to the situation told UP!. "I -don't know whether he -ill accept the job but 1 am sure that ho will bo offered it." William A. Shea, the New York attorney who led the drive to create the new league, emphati cally eliminated himself as a can didate. "I cannot and will not take the job if it is ottered to me," he said. "When the third major league goes into operation in I9tl. 1 will not be an official, I will not have one single cent invested in the league and I will return to being just a lawyer like I ought to be." Hickey's name rarely is men tioned publicly by Continental League officials but it is known the man who created baseball's farm system and broke its color line, has been a key advisor be hind the scenes. "There are other candidates, of course," UPl's. informant said. "But Mr. liickey undoubtedly will be offered the job first. He has been the most far-sighted indivi dual connected with baseball dur ing thjs entire operation. The new league could not have been formed without his counsel. "We may need a man conver sant with the ins and outs of major league ball to negotiate with American and National League olficials," he continued. "And we are sure Mr. Hickey would be an able representative in such negotiations.'1 Rickey currently is chairman of the board of the Pittsburgh Pi rates and has said repeatedly over the last two years that ma jor league baseball should expand by the creation of a new league.
