jeremiah T. Mahoney of New

dent Louis Di Benedetto of New
Orleans, urged that a commission
or committee be appointed to cor.
relate the athlete programs of all
interested groups.
Nine of the records for which
approval were sought were reject
ed because they already had been
superseded, and the 1,000-yard free
style mark of Ann Curtis, San
Francisco mermaid, was turned
down because it was not made in a
race. The remaining two were
turned back for fusther study of
the timing.
The delegates inscribed Claude
Buddy Young's name in the
championship shield by passing
without a dissenting vote the re-
port of the track and field commit
tee. Young, University of Illinois
Splinter, won the 100-meter dash
championship last summer in a
race run after all six finalists had
been disqualified for false starts.
The track committee rejected, IS

starting rules to avoid a repetition
of the affair.

DELAYED ACTION

NEW YORK, Dec. 9 IN Ma
ming Of a successor to the late
Commissioner K. M Lands is not
expected to result from the three
day series of major league meet
ings opening Monday but baseball
owners and executives arriving
here today agreed. preliminary
work would be done on the powers
new "czar" may WELD.
Both big leagues have submitted
the matter for discussion at Wed
nesday's joint meeting. and each
circuit has the major league and
major minor agreements on its
agenda.
Indications are baseball will be
ruled temporarily by the advisory
council composed of presidents Will
Harridge of the American league
with Secretary to the Commission
err Leslie M. O'Connor acting as
new third member.
There has been a strong current
toward selection of a baseball man
for the Lands post instead Of seek
ing an outsider, and some of the
owners have gone on record for
postponing any choice for the du-
ration. If commissioner is named
here, it will be a distinct surprise.
Revisions of existing agreements
which made Lands an absolute ru-
Ter probably will result in less pow
er for his successor.
The minors agreed to appoint a
committee to work on new pact
with the big leagues in Buffalo.
While the executives wrestled
with the more serious problems con-
fronting the game, the managers
went to work on series of trades
expected to materialize next week.
Brooklyn, Boston Braves. Cleveland
Chicago Cubs and White Sox
the New York Giants were among
the most active, according to the
rumor market.
