Feeney stopped for a mo ment. His eyes rolled up in their sockets like someone in the pro cess of expiring and a small, low gurgle came from his throat. Consciously or not, he had presented a perfect portrayal of the sad and diminished state baseball finds itself in today. Instead of a commissioner it can look to for any direction, it has a lame duck who can only be looked upon as a token figure for nine more months at best.

Instead of any real harmony, the 26 owners are now divided in resentment over which of them fought to have Kuhn re-elected and those who sought to dismiss him. Monday’s action in showing Kuhn the door may have the effect of retarding a restructur ing of the game. “All right, now those who wanted him out have had their way,” said Ballard Smith, presi dent of the San Diego Padres and a member of baseball’s ex ecutive council. “There were eight of them in all who voted against him, but not one of them has been able to suggest any body to take his place. Not one.” Gene Autry, the California Angels’ owner, said he had no idea who the next commissioner would be. “I don’t think this was such a smart thing to do,” he said. Buzzie Bavasi, the Angels’ general manager, listened and agreed with his boss. “No self-respecting candi date would take the job after all the abuse Bowie took,” Bavasi said. Smith, one of those who worked so hard for Kuhn’s reelection, made no effort to conceal how badly he felt. Five National League owners cast their closed ballots against Kuhn and that was enough to keep his contract from being renewed even though the seven others in the league supported him. In the 14-club American League Kuhn made a good showing. The vote was 11-3 in his favor, but that was academic because the four votes against him in the National League finished him. After the votes were counted and it was obvious Kuhn was out, Peter O’Malley of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Dan Gal- breath of the Pittsburgh Pirates went up to his suite in the Hyatt Regency O’Hare to give him the news. He knew it already and also knew who voted against him in the National League. The five were Gussie Busch of St. Louis, Nelson Doubleday of the New York Mets, John McMullen of Houston, Ted Turner of Atlan ta and James Williams of Cincin nati. “It was predictable,” Kuhn told O’Malley and Galbreath, who along with Bud Seligasb:| him to finish his seven-ji term, which expires Aug. 12, said he would “I’ll tell you one thing- got guts,” Gabe Paul of Cli land said. Eddie Chiles, the TexasRd gers’ owner, identified himst| as one of the three Amerii Leaguers who was Kuhn’s re-election. £ “I didn’t vote against man, I voted against the tern,” he said. “I think thecoj missioner’s system has outfe its usefulness. ar INF “When we get through kL UnitedPr< structuring in Honolulu,”Chin |EW YOl said in talking about the ownelkeentered next meeting a month fros h both side now, “there may not be aeon missioner per se.
