Threats Fail To Budge Chandler From His Stand
St. Petersburg, Fla.—(U.R.)—Befuddled baseball barons searched for a new commissioner today although they were not quite sure how to get rid of the old one.
More than 24 hours of cailing and threatening failed to budge A. B. Chandler from his stubborn stand that he will serve out the remaining 18 months of his contract as the game's ruler. He was offered $100,000 to get out; he was threatened with a prison sentence fully. But Chandler steadfastly stood by his vow to keep the job "until the final second of my tenure."
The 16 major league club owners appointed a committee to screen candidates for the job, hoping they can unload Chandler as soon as they find his successor. Ford Frick, president of the Pittsburgh League, Branch Rickey, general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, were considered the too prospects;
But hovering over the plans for the future was the bulky shadow of Chandler, and these were the possibilities of the moment:
An attempt was made to call an emergency meeting to discuss the matter this morning, but that fell through. Detroit general manager Billy Evans said, "After all, why should we meet again. We gave the Commissioner our ultimatum and he gave us his."
1. Chandler may go to his Versailles, Ky., farm and quietly announce his retirement as soon as this week's bitterness dims.
2. Chandler may accept the $100,-
000 cash payment offered to buy up

his contract. The money represents the amount he would make at his $65,000-a-year salary if he stayed on the remaining 18 months.
3. Baseball may oust him--although it probably would face a court battle with Chandler, a battle which could keep going until after his contract expires anyway.
5. Baseball could decide to ride out the storm by letting Chandler finish out his contract as commissioner as he desires. But as long as he remains commissioner, the baseball bosses must live in terror of Chandler's great powers as commissioner. He could throw any of them out of the game for "conduct detrimental to baseball."
4. Baseball could attempt to impeach Chandler for "malfaeance in office, but this is highly unlikely since charges of using his office for illegal purposes would be tough to prove.
It is known, for example, that his investigating agents (who are former
Lawrence, Kan—(U.P.)-Bobby Reynolds, the University of Nebraska's star sophomore halfback, has been selected as the "outstanding back" of the 1950 season in the Big Seven-Missouri Valley Conference area.
The more than 100 members of the mid-west chapter of the football Writers Association of America took part in the poll, it was announced by Don Pierce, chapter secretary.
Reynolds Picked As Outstanding Back
Reynolds finished the season with 157 points to his credit, highest in the nation. He carried the ball for 1,342 yards to rank second nationally.
Runnerup to the Nebraskan was Johnny Bright of Drake, who set a new national total offense record. Following in order were Leon Heath of Oklahoma, Charlie Hoag of Kansas, and Bill Weeks of Iowa State.
F. B.I. men) have uncovered enough dope to expel two club owners from baseball. These two have been arrested on various charges running from traffic violations to felonies.
The ouster of Chandler was dramatic and tense, and probably will remain so for some time.
