May Pick New Czar Tuesday in Major League Push
New York base ball executives plan to choose a new commissioner at a meeting next Tuesday as speculation grows that a congressional hearing in Washington is hastening action. The four man screening committee asked all 16 clubs to send a representative and has collected replies to a commissioner questionnaire. Committee member Del Webb noted owners generally agree on the type of man sought, the ideal sort. The push appears influenced by the House subcommittee on monopolies led by Rep. Emanuel Celler.
