Following Coolidge Highs cancel

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-There may
be a manpower shortage in some
sports, but 1876 college. club, high
school and service athletes from Is
States, the District of Columbia and
Canada will compete tonight in the
annual Millrose Track and Field
Games.
Probably the most popular of all
events are the relays, with 81 teams
entered in 18 races. Michigan. boil
stored by Ross and Bob Hume, is
highly regarded in the 2-mile, and
Army and Navy are expected to
fight it out in the mile relay.
Nine starters, each one cham
pion in his own right, are booked
for the Millrose $50, with Bob Kelley,
Illinois ribbon winner de luxe of
1914, in the drivers seat.
The Wanamaker Mile, usually the
feature of the games, doesn't suffer
in quantity, but is a shade off in
quality. Jim Rafferty,, former Ford
ham ironman, whose best clocking is
4:103, and Ensign Bill Hulse, Amer
lean citizen record holder at 4:06, are
among the five starters.
Ed Conwell, New York University's
indoor AAU sprint champion, Is
sidelined by pulled leg muscle, suf-
fered last Saturday at the West
Point Relays. Numerically, his place
was taken by Jerry Thompson, for
mer 2-mile NCAA champion while
at Rice, who was a last-minute en-
try in the distance event. He now
is stationed at Quonset Point, R. I.
Virtually the only record in danger
is in the Mel Sheppard 600. Elmore
Harris, last years Morgan State ace,
has predicted he will wipe out the
1:102 figure set by the late John
Borican and equaled by Hugh Short
of Georgetown in 1943. Harris, now
running for the Shore A. C. of Ell
beron, N. j., will be making his de-
but on the boards.

Baseball Heads LikeI\
To Delay Selection

BY JOE REICHLER,

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Contrary to
general expectations, major league
club owners and officials appeared
to be in no hurry today to select
new baseball commissioner to sue
ceed the late Judge Kenesaw M.
Lands.
Neither the naming of commits
sioner, nor even its consideration,
is on the agenda of the joint ses-
sion, it was disclosed by President
William Harridge of the American
League. The only way the question
could be raised would be by unani-
nous consent of the 16 club owners.
consideration of a new major
league agreement and discussion of
details of the all-star game at Fem
way Park, Boston, this summer are
the only matters on the agenda," :"
said Harridge, although the own
ers, by unanimous vote, can bring up
any other business they want to-"
Four in Favor Of Delay.
According to Harridge, one team
could block action because Leslie
OConnor, member of the Three
Man Advisory Council, failed to
mention consideration of Lands
successor in his CALI for joint
session.
1t is known that at least four club
representatives, Phil Wrigley of the
Chicago Cubs, Jack Zeller of the
Detroit Tigers, Alva Bradley OF the
Cleveland Indians and Warren Giles
of the Cincinnati Reds, were in nc
haste on immediate action, prefer
ring to delay until all candidates
have been thoroughly investigated
Giles has expressed his belief that
the new commissioner should have
no previous official connection with
the game and that he should have
"a legal background.
Despite. the threat of a block, the
action now" owners may attempt
to force the issue. Ford Frick,
president of the National League
and leading candidate for the COM
missionership was believed to have
nine votes 'in the bag" with three
club owners processing to have
open minds" However, they must
first convince the 'deliberators' that
immediate action is essential.
New Agreement Drafted.
In the meantime the committee
of 10, five from each league, COM
pleted the draft of a new major
league agreement begun in Chicago
last month. Details were not dis
closed.
| The two leagues called separate
conferences starting at 10:30 this
morning to ratify the agreement. A
joint session will be held in the
afternoon.
| One of the rumored changes from
| the original agreement adopted fol
Lands Office in 1921 was the deci
sion to require a three-fourths vott
for the commissionership instead O.
