War era baseball risks collapse says Texas league chief
Dallas July 7 J Alvin Gardner president of the Texas league warns that if the war lasts into 1949 there will be no professional baseball in the nation. He endorses Landis plan to unify major and minor leagues into a subsidized system with schools, tryouts, and placement programs, funding for lower classes and capped contracts to prevent growth of farm teams. Gardner notes war shortages and tire shortages threaten player and spectator turnout, urging concrete action to preserve the game within a reorganized framework.
