VERSAILLES, KY, Dec. sg27
(AP).-A., B. Happy Chan
ler, former baseball commits
sioner, today called the major
league expansion plans another
step on the road to destruction
of the national pastime.
The owners treated coldly a
proposal he made 10 years ago
for orderly expansion, the two
time Kentucky Governor and
former Senator recalled.
"They have failed to take
into account what was coming,
and now they're going about it
piecemeal," he said in an inter-
view.
1--WE tried to get them to
plan for expansion to 10 teams
in each league-maybe IL If
necessary-and then eventually
breaking up into three leagues.
One would be in the East. one
in the Central section and one
in the Western United States.
"The World Series would
have operated by giving one
leagues winner a bye in the
first round"
Chandler. who was dropped
as commissioner in 1851, said
it would have been better to
have taken in the old Pacific
Coast League, as was proposed
at one time.
Baseball must have contin-
uous rivalries to thrive, with
opponents as close to each other
as possible" he said.
New teams Of CASTOR players
aren't going to win games or
draw crowds, Chandler said.
The mishandling Of expan-

blunders by the major leagues
