by unanimous consent. Hermann says
he did not wish to hold over, anyhow.

dents-Johnson and Heydler-and the
joint committees Colonel Rupert
and Frank J. Navin for the American
League, and William T. Baker and
William Veeck for the National-was
left the task of selecting Herrmann's
successor. Johnson's objection to
change having dissipated there is lit
tie doubt an amicable choice will be
