According to Joe Reichler the commissioner s director of Public relations Eckert ruled that no game on saturday would Start before Kennedy s scheduled burial. And he asked that any Home team get his permission before Post poning either a saturday or sunday game. Eckert granted three saturday postponements and two on extenuating circumstances such As a Bat Day in san Francisco with its big Advance Sale a five hour delay in the burial and Strong personal feelings of certain Ball players combined to make Eckert s solution an unpopular have no barometer of How the Man in the Street feels about the Good commissioner s decision but a Cross Section of sports columnists have been Bench Riding the former general unmercifully.
