played or postponed: an umpire row
in which the men in blue finally got
a chance TO heave bottles, and a
secret meeting, confirmed since by
one club owner, to consider buying
up the Chandler contract.
, The new commissioner weathered
all that and was rolling along with
a rejuvenated smile when the minors
got In their cut at their annual
meeting. They voted to curtail his
powers and to take the promotion
program out Of his hands. A new
type Of Kentucky wildcat was pla-
Gated when the majors upheld the
commissioner in this brawl.
So peace came a. last to baseball's
milk and honey man.
And then, during the Major
league meetings last weekend. the
poetic tongue which used to charm
the senate slipped its moorings once
again when several club owners an
nounced they would raise their
prices.
such a thing is solely the af-
fair OF the individual club and does
not and will not concern me Off
cially," slapped Happy
But feel the prices ought not
be raised. After all, the calibre OF
Major League baseball during the
past three years hasn't been so good
and it seems to me that the fans
now ought to get the better brand
we can offer them without paying
more for it,"
And that philanthropical discourse,
which Chandler admitted was none
Of his business, brought on the
cruelest blow Of all.
That Man McPhail
1t came in the form OF cutting
one-two punch from Dear Larry"
the man from the Yankees whose
one-man campaign primarily was
responsible for making Chandler the
commissioner. Umpires. Minor
leaguers. newspapermen and even
Major leaguers. Yes, hut not Leland
Stanford MacPhail.
Yes, MacPhail was king about it
He used $50 nice words to say
Mind your own business"
Explaining first that the cost OF
everything had risen, including SAL
aries, training expenses, transport
alton, hotels, operational costs and
even the price Of baseballs, Mac
Phail said in part:
The commissioner has failed TO
study his contract. or compre-
bend the scope Of his duties and re-
sponsibilities. this is not a mat
ter over which the commissioner
has jurisdiction of any kind. it
is not the prerogative of the COM
missioner to criticize publicly either
Major league or its members in the
exercise of their exclusive legisla-
tive powers"
MacPhail, without mentioning
that aspirins, too, were up, thus
added the final drop to Chambers
cup Of woe.
But you can count on the com
missioner. He's a battler, and he'll
no doubt announce with great rap
