I'D stage their annual election
S$EH OF officers and directors
ErAA Tuesday night at the
Chamber Of Commerce.
kA Gilbert M. Schloss, who
- was elected president at
last years meeting, is the
most logical choice for another term,
Tor he has served well and faithfully,
has attended strictly to business and
II Is the general concensus of opinion
among the members of the association
that he will make the best president
that the association could nave for the
ensuing term.
Last year Mr.. Schloss was elected over
his protest, claiming that he did not
have the time to properly handle the
affairs of the office, but after he was
chosen he found time to serve the as
sociation in such a, way that the mem
bers feel that failure to r~e-eIect him
for another term would be detrimental
to the associations best interests.
President Schloss is not n candidate
for reelection and has stated that he
cannot serve for another term, but il is
believed that he can be made to re-
consider, when it is put up to him that
1t is to the best interests of the as
ISOLATION that he be reelected,
1t was rumored in M. A. A.. circles
Tuesday that j.. A. Keefe, at ,present
vice-ppesident. would be nominated to
succeed President Schloss. One or two
other names have also been mentioned.
The present officers are Gilbert NJ.
Schloss, president; ]. A. Keefe, vice
president; Joe Buehl, secretary; A. ?.
Hunt, treasurer.

M. A.. A., has been a success in every
particular during his term n is GER
tain to be renamed. The baseball direc-
tor is appointed by the president ana rat-
flied by the board of directors. Hack
is a big favorite with all of the players
n members of the association, and
during the year that Just closed he
handled every situation with his charac-
t~ertistic neatness and dispatch, straight
ening out tangles that arose and in every
way proved Il very valuable official
Hack has discovered that there is q
bunch of work connected with the Of
flee of baseball director, but SO long.
as 1t is for the up%building of the Mem
phis Associated Amateurs, Billy should
worry. and may be counted on to con
tlnue his efforts in behalf of the associa-
| ton.
Directors will also be named for the

of the old directors win be renamed
and that several new ones will be en-
rolled.
