Anti Chandler Faction Boosts
7rdutn1dn as Baseball Boss
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-A big
league anti-Chandler faction, de-
termined to carry on its tooth
and-nail fight to oust the COM
missioner, repeatedly has come
UP with strong candidate in
George Trautman. head of the
minor leagues.
Convinced that only a person
thoroughly versed in every phase
of the sport can fill baseball's top
executive post satisfactorily, this
group quietly but actively has been
carrying on a campaign to elect
Trautman commissioner. However
Chandler still is in the drivers seat
and may remain there since he
appears to have gained some
strength in the past six weeks.
According to one club owner,
Trautman already has six sure

Leaves Walter Johnson Off His AU-Stor Team
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 27. - The
Oldest living major Lacquer took
a long trip down memory lane
Today and plucked out what he
considers the greatest baseball
team that could be assembled
from the past rs years.
"You might call this my
Diamond Jubilee team" said Arlie
Latham. 81, who played third
base bare-handed in 1874, who
broke into the old National League
in 1879 and who has walked arm
in-arm with the sport down
through TIE years.
The National League observes
its 18th birthday February 2 at
the old Broadway Central Hotel.
The American League celebrates
its 50th anniversary this year.
The man who should cut the
cake is the silver-haired Latham,
who has seen them all from Cap
Anson right down to Joe DiMag-
glO ana SCan MuSlal.

1T is tough picking this team ~
said the thin. bent old infielder
Of baseballs cradle days, whose
memory is still razor-sharp.

Here is Latham's all-time team,

Latham apologized for naming
only one active ball player-Joe
DiMaggio-on his all star team.
Believes TOday's Players Better
i think the players today are
far better than back in the old
times" he said. why, on the
whole there's no comparison
Where we had one or two stars on
a team back then, today every
man hss to be a standout to hold
his position.
That's because there's so much
competition and so many ball
players. But we had some great
old-tlmers, too. and they made
such fine records they can't be
ignored"
Latham said Cobb and Ruth
have to be fixtures in any all-time
outfield because Cobb "was the
greatest all-around player there
was-a real bulldog" and because
OF Ruth's home run power"
Some people say Ruth wasn't
much of a fielder" he added. 81

Sugar Ray meets Middleweight
Champion Jake La MotIa for the

WE'LL said he will attempt to

Graham of New York to agree to
take part in an elimination tour

The New York commission
already has designated Gavilan
as its No. l candidate. He won
that backing when he gained a
split decision victory over Graham
last November and solidified his
position with a neat triumph last
night over Paddy Young, a fine,
young middleweight, in Madison

With Chicago
American Giants

Chicago-Leroy (SatcheD Paige,
the ancient fire-baller who has
been around To- these many years,
returns to the Negro American
League in a Chicago American
Giants uniform at Comiskey Park
here next Sunday and will try to
muffle the big bats of the Birm-
ingham Black Barons in the first
game of a doubleheader.
A large crowd is expected to
turn out for the Giants opener, not
only because Ole Satch will be on
the hill again, but, also, because
the occasion has been designated
as "Bill Week Day."
Veeck, responsible for the signing
of the first two Negro players in
the American league, Larry Dolby
and Paige, when he was president
of the Cleveland Indians, will be
presented trophy before the first
game.
Manager Winfield WEIGH will be
making his debut in Chicago as the
pilot of the Giants. He has de-
veloped a strong, fast team for
the 1851 pennant chase and hopes
to get off to a flying start by
winning both games from the clas-
sy Birmingham team.
He will start Paige in the opener
and will probably place the re-
sponsibility for victory in the sec
ond game on the capable shoulders
Of Theolic Smith, veteran right
handler.
Birmingham, preseason favor
ties to win the pennant, is in no

Ed Steele, manager of the Bar
ons, has strong pitching staff
led by Willie Price, Rip Collins and
Roy Johnson. The club has sound
mixture of youth and veterans, and
is as fast as any team in the
/ league.
Paige, however, hopes to throttle
the aggressive Barons and win his
first game of the season. He is es-
pecially anxious to chalk up a win

chance in the majors will be look
