Baseball Commissioner's Search Roiled by Chandler Feud
In New York on February 3 1952 the baseball scene swirled as a screening committee narrowed candidates to ten for Chandler's successor. Lou Perini of the Boston Braves said no clear report would come soon and noted that interim league presidents would run baseball after Chandler's contract ends in April 1952. The group includes Chandler Trautman Symington Medina Douglas Vinson Farley Warren Lucas Eisenhower, with some wavering about interest. Chandler accused Del Webb and Fred Saigh, who retorted they welcome investigation into Chandler.
