Rain Flags Halted Possible Two Pennant Drives
In St. Petersburg on December 12 the American league barred a double pennant scenario by ruling that schedules could not be completed after rain or other acts of God. Owners also declined to renew Commissioner A B Chandler’s contract and voted to end the bonus rule and the high school agreement. The only notable trade involved the White Sox, sending pitchers Bill Wight and Ray Scarborough to Boston for Allen Zarilla and others. The league also allowed two extra days for postponed games to decide the championship.
