Senator Chandler Is
Named Baseball Czar
CLEVELAND, April 25 (UP) United Slates Senator Albert. B.
(Happy) Chandler, Kentucky democrat, the one man in a field of
more than 100 candidates who "loved baseball the most" is it's new
high commissioner today, the unanimous choice of 10 major league
owners lo direct destiny of the sport for the next seven years.
Chandler, 40-year-old former governor of Kentucky, was selected
for the $50,000 a year job last night.
One club owner sard "serious
discussion" began only when
Chandler's name was reached on
the list and that "after that no
other man had a chance."
In Chandler, baseball will
have a man the direct opposite
of the late Kcncsuw M. Landis,
who rukd the sport with an iron
hand. C h a n d I e r, nicknamed
'Happy" because of a cheerful
disposlion, seldom gets angry
or arbitrary.

NEW YORK, April 25 (UP)
Three ninth inning homers in as
many playing days by Elmer
(Butch) Nieman of the Boston
Braves was Manager Bob Cole
man's big dividend today for
three hours of hitting instruction
in spring training camp.
Coleman believed Nieman had
more potentiality as a hitter than
he showed las year, when he
batted an anemic ,265. So when
the Braves pitched camp at
Georgetown university in Wash
ington he took the ex-Kansas
slate college football star aside
and gave him lessons on how to
' pull the ball. Now he's batting

the Brooklyn Dodgers appeared lo be
coasting to his second victory. He
was nursing a 8 to 4 lead when
the Braves came to bat In the last
of the ninth. Things still didrr't
look too dar k for him after three
sliles produced one run. Then
Nieman came to bat and hit a
three-run homer to give lint
Braves an 8 to B win.

WASHINGTON, April 25 (UP)
Sen. Albert B. "Happy" Chan
dler, D., Ky., said today he hopes
that as baseball's high commis
siorjr he can be as good for the
sport as it has been to him.
Chandler returned to the sen
ale today to begin winding up
his political affairs wilb expecta
tion thai he can do it in 30 to (id
days. When that is done base
ball, an avocation until now, will
let his undivided attention.
"The young kids coining along
have got to have a chance to get
into the game." he said. "Base
ball is going to have an import
ant place in the post-war sports
program. It's healthy and it's
fun. It will do tile kids a lot
of good."
Chandler made arrangements
lo leave pnity politics with a
linge of regret. His senate seat
probably will be taken by a re.
publican under appointment of
Kintucky's Gov. Simon E. Willis
until a successor is chosen in the
state election next November.
There also was the matter of
getting $50,000 a year as baseball
commissioner instead of $10,000
a year' as senator. Chandler was
practical about it.
"I've been in polities all my
life," he said. "It's a great game
but you can't- make any money
at it. I've got a wife and four
children and I've got to think
about their future too. I hope
this will enable me to provide
for them a little better than I've
been able to in the past."
