RE- ELECTION
REGARDED FORECONE
CONCLUSION IN EAST

NEW YORK, Dec. IL l9.-Re-elec-
ton of baseball Commissioner Lands
for another seven-year term at the
joint major league meeting in Chi
cago next Thursday is regarded as
foregone conclusion by National
league men gathering here today
for their own annual meeting next
Tuesday.
The National league already has
gone on record as uniS in endors-
ing Lands regime and in favor of
Keeping him in office AS a result
no further formal action is con-
sidered likely or necessary when the
-magnates go into. session Tuesday.
Although baseball men as whole
do not anticipate much opposition
to Lands, if any, from American
league club owners, it was pointed
out that majority. already is as
sured by the fact that President
Jacob Rupert, u the Yankees, ana
Charles Comiskey of the White sox
ere committed to the commissioners
support.
Opposing points of view, however.
may develop an issue over the clos
ing dates for the 1927 major league
season. Under the present law, fav-
ored by the American league and
put into effect by the vote of Lan-
dis, the season must close on the
last Saturday in September. This
would end the coming campaigns on
September rs. The National league,
President John A. Heydler, said to-
day, while not against an early
closing, is opposed to fixing the
date arbitrarily and feels that the
schedule committee should not be
restricted in arranging the playing
dates. The need for major league
pilots who can develop young talent
as well as supply qualities of lead
ership. largely has influenced the
wholesale managerial shifts that
have taken place since the close
of the 1925 playing season, in the
| opinion of a majority of the base
ball neh gathered here.
! William L. Veeck, president of the
Chicago Cubs, in pointing out the
first year success of his own man
| ager, Joe Mccarthy, said:
"It was in the development OF
young players that Mccarthy helped
/. the Cubs most this year, although
/ at the same time he had the club
up around the top most of the season.
/ hired Mccarthy because Of his
success in developing young players
| in Louisville rather than because he
was winning pennants.
"The time has come when every
league club must have manager
who can teach and train young play
! ers, not just lead them"
| Realization of this, Veeck and 9TH
ers believe, accounts for the re-
t:rement of such famous playing
LEADERS as Sisler, Collins, Speaker
and Cobb. Ray Schalk, another play
! ing manager, has replaced Collins
with the White Sox but Moriarity
