CHICAGO — A newsman, ea
ger to find out how far along the
owners had gotten in their
blood-letting of Bowie Kuhn,
buttonholed Chub Feeney, the
National League president, as
he was hurrying back into one of
the meeting rooms.
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:|

term, which expires Aug. 12,
said he would
“I’ll tell you one thing-

land said.

gers’ owner, identified himst|
as one of the three Amerii
Leaguers who was

viduals who found the Tea
Rangers impossible to
around.
Rader, bringing with
reputation for mental toughnes
and discipline, became thel2i
manager in the Rangers’ ll-yffl
history.
But even if he lasts no
than some of his predecessor,
his tenure should be interesting
“I think we found a guywl
will be our manager for a loi
time,” said Texas General Mt
ager Joe Klein, who hasbeenoi
the job for only a month.
(Rader) knows how to get along
with people and how to extrafl
the best from them. Heisyoi
and thoroughly dedicated.”
If the 38-year-old Raderdots
stay around the Rangers fori
Rang time, he will be the ”
manager to do so. Only one fot
mer Texas manager — Pat Cot
rales — has managed the cW
for as long as two full seasons
Such notables as Billy Martin
and Whitey Herzog did noth- 11
that long.
Rader, who could work asJ
stand-up comic and whotf
pranks became legend during
his playing days with the Hous
