Muddy Ruel Emerges As Commissioner Rumor in Aug Visit
Cedar Rapids hosts Harold Muddy Ruel August 4 and 5 for the Old-Timers game while Ruel, farm director of the Cleveland Indians, garners support as a possible successor to Happy Chandler. Prominent boosters include Ed McAuley and John Carmichael who praise his baseball knowledge and dignity. If chosen, Ruel may forgo the Cedar Rapids trip to assume new duties, though he would still inspect rookies like Billy Joe Davidson. The column also recounts Illinois football concerns and a boxing draw, closing with Al Schacht’s Cedar Rapids visit and past mail snubs.

Toledo Players Implicated in Cage Fix Scandal
Three University of Toledo basketball players were charged with fixing a December 14 1950 game against Niagara University in Toledo and keeping the winning margin to three points. The DA said a New York bribe was sent to one player and split among the others, while Toledo coach Jerry Bush expressed shock at the allegations.
