Eligibility Rule May Erase
kruuss F rom District LooD

With Bill Krauss of Lafayette the
latest target. new f1are-up con-
corning the player eligibility rule in
the Mems District League has
occurred.
According to one Interpretation of
the rule Krauss is ineligible to roll
with Lafayette which has won it's
last six games since the former
league champion became a member
while another view, taken particu-
larly by Perce Wolfe, league presi-
dent and a member of Lafayette,
gives Krauss the right to roll.
The bone of contention Is whether
Krauss must take his last seasons
l23 average in the Prince Georges
County League or his District League
mark OF ll9 of two seasons ago.
Would Be Among Top.
His average in the strong subur-
ban loop would place him among the
first "a bowlers in the league ac-
cording to league rule which allows
only two bowlers with such averages
on any team. This gives Lafayette
three in the upper bracket. But
other points in the apparently none
too-clear rule would allow him to
use his District League average.
Before the season got under way
Karl Gochenour ran afoul of the
rule and as a result lost the services

Successor 10 Lands
May Be Selected
By White House
BY JACK HAND.
Associated Press Sports Writer.


NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Be it Dewey
or F. D. r. on November 7, it is pos
sible the newly elected President will
be called upon to name a second
commissioner of baseball should K.
M. Lands decline another term.
One OF the articles of the agree
ment that set up the office of dia-
mond czar in 1881 contains a section
reading that ''in the event of failure
to elect a successor within three
months. either major league may re-
quest the President of the United
States to designate a commissioner. !"
Although Lands is reported in
improved health after being hos
pitalized and missing his first World
Series since taking Office, the dis
tinguished ex-jurist will be IS on
November 20 and magnates have
given considerable thought to the
problem of naming a successor.
Job Safe for Lands.
The job belongs to Lands as long
As he wants it. There seems to be
no question about that, although
there has been scattered firing from
a few clubs at times. To the general
public the gray-haired czar is a
symbol of the square deal for play
ers and fans.
1t has been rumored that the
commissioner would prefer to see
Leslie M. O'Connor, his secretary,
move into the head chair when and
If he gives it up. During the recent
st. Louis series O'Connor handled
the details usually supervised by
Lands and did a creditable Job.
However, there is much opposition
to O'Connor among baseball men
whose deals and contracts have
been investigator by the secretary.
Military Leaders Mentioned.
Jim Farley and Gems. Douglas
Macarthur and George Marshall
have been mentioned as possibilities
but there appears to be no general
agreement, making presidential
decision more and more probable.
The problem may be clarified at
the December meetings when COM
mittees named to work on a new
major league agreement will report.
Unless a new pact is signed. the
Office of commissioner will not exist
after January IL. 1946. Lands
present contract expires on the
same date.
