More Study Likely On Czar Problem
New York August 6 AP It is uncertain if baseball will elect a new commissioner tomorrow but the chosen man will face the game’s biggest problems. He must represent baseball in Congress hearings, decide on the reserve clause, shape TV and radio policy for the minors, and address making the Pacific Coast League a third major. The field may be narrowed to six candidates before intensive review. Leading contenders include MacArthur Farley Frick Giles and Trautman. A confidential AP poll shows preference for delaying action and narrowing choices. Salary likely at 75000, up from 50000 for Landis and 65000 since a year and a half ago.
