Nieman of the Boston Braves was
manager Bob Coleman's big divi-
i dend today for three hours of hit
ting instruction in spring training
camp.
Coleman believed Nieman had
more potentiality as a hitter than
he showed last year, when he
batted an anemic J265. So when
the Braves pitched camp at
Georgetown university In Wash
ington he took the ex-Kansas
State college football star aside
and gave him lessons on how to
pull the ball.
Bats at .300 Clip
He's now battlngi.360 with nine
hits in 25 times at bat, an aver
age which has placed the Braves
in a fourth-place tie with the Cin
. cinnati Reds.
yesterday, Hal Gregg of the
Brooklyn Dodgers appeared to be
: coasting to his second victory. He
was nursing a 6 to 4 lead when
the Braves came to bat in the last
of the ninth. Things still didn't
look too dark for him after three
singles produced one run. Then
Nieman came to bat and hit a
three-run homer over the right
field screen to give the Braves an
8 to 6 win.
Gets Two Homers
Home runs provided the mar-
gin of victory in the only other
major league game played yes
terday. Manager Mel Ott of the
New York Giants made two, each
with a man on base to account
for four runs as the Giants de
feated the visiting Phillies 5 to 2.
All of the other major league
games were postponsed because
of rain.

never be run.
Entries for the 1945 Kentucky
Derby close today and right now
there is no more confused gentry
in the sports world than those con

But they are taking no chances.
When and if the ban on racing
is lifted they will be ready to go
and so will CoL.Matt J. Winn

historic horse race in the United
States.
No derby day may dawn 'this
year. It not. only depends .on
how the war goes, but also on
what the government wants.
There is no question about the
first, for it's strictly a matter of
time now; but there Is doubt now
whether the ban will be lifted on
V-Eday.
James F. Byrnes said it' would
before he resigned as war mobil
ization director. He was respon
sible for the ban which went into
effect Jan. 3, and his announce
ment that the ban would be lifted
when Germany folds was the sig

getting ready. The prospects
looked even brighter a couple of

that the government was" con

scale on May 10.
But that optimism didn't last
long for in his first news con
ference President Truman made it
plain that the government would
wait until V-E day before de
termining what to do about such
things as horse racing.
The horses in training include
the 100 or more hopefuls which
will be entered in the derby.

hope that I can do something for
the game."
Chandler returned to the senate
today to begin winding up his
political affairs with expectation
tnai ne can do it in 30 to GO days.
When that is done baseball, an
avocation until now, will get his
undivided attention.
"The Important thing at the
moment Is to keep the game on
Its present high plane," Chandler
said. "It's an honest game and
has to be kept that way.
"After the war there is another
matter. The young kids coming
along have got to have a chance
to got into the game. Baseball is
going to have 'an important place
in uie pnsi-war sports program.
It's healthy and it's fun. It will
do the kids a lot of good."
Chandler left no doubt that he
expects to have full authority as
commissioner comparable to that
of the late Judge Kenesaw M.
Landis.
"It never occurred to me thiit
it would bo anything less," ho
said. "I can't go In there stand

a Rood job as I see it.
Chandler made arrangements
to leave party politics with a
tinge of regret. His senate seat
probably will be taken , by a re
publican under appointment of
Kentucky's Gov. Simeon 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 politics 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 chil
dren and I've got to think about
them and their future too. I hope
this will enable me to provide for
them a little better than I've been
able to do In the past."
Klamath Marines
Box in Portland
Portland, Ore., April 25 HPi It
would be jolly to report that the
marines from the Klamath Falls
rehabilitation center had landed
and had the decisions well in
hand, but the factual communi
que must be that of the three
who landed in the Portland boxing
ring last night only one took a
decision, and that only by a nar
row margin.
Sole marine winner was Char
ley Harris, 161, who had to work
like everything to eke out a deci
sion over Jerry Brown, 150-pound
Denver negro, in six rounds.
Gates Is Loser
Among marines who planted no
flags were the Indian Johnny
Gates, who yielded a fifth-round
TKO to Powder Procter of Port
land, 161-pounder, who retrieved
his reputation from a quick
knockout in an earlier match with
Portland's John L. Sullivan. Proc
ter, who earlier had seemed a has-
been, last night showed the fight
ing spirit that had given him stat
ure a few years ago. Opening of
a cut over Gate's' eye in the third
signified the start of the end of
that bout.
The other marine to go down
In glory was Lito Perez, 144, who
yielded a decision to Leroy Durst,
147, Longview, after taking an
eight-count in the second.
Suarez Is Victor
The so-called main event didn't
come up to Its billing, with the
usually scrappy Johnny Suarez of
Portland taking an easy 10-round
decision over Johnny Taylor of
Oakland. At 141, Suarez was just
too fast and too good for the 147
pound Taylor, whose forte seemed
to be to miss and grab. Suarez
was bright in the first and sixth
rounds, but customers yawned
most of the rounds.
Kelly Jackson, Portland, 145,
took a TKO over Johnny Pancho,
Longview, 139, In the fifth of a
scheduled six-rounder.

'Happy Chandler
Named Ball Czar
By lee Under '
. (United Preu Staff Correspondent)
Cleveland, AprU 23 0P Sen.
Albert B. (Happy Chandler, D.,
Ky, the' one man in a field of
more than 100 candidates who
"loved baseball the most," was
it's new high commissioner today,.
theunanimous choice of 16 major
league owners to direct destiny of
the sport for the next seven years.
Chandler, 46-year-old former
governor of Kentucky, was selec
ted ' last night at a three-and-a-half
hour session. More than 100
names were on the list presented
to the owners by a special com
mittee of four.
Gets Serious Study
One club owner said that "seri
ous discussion" began only when
Chandler's name was reached on
the list and that "after that no
other man had a ehance."
A compromise candidate for the
$50,000 a year job, the magnates
in cnoosing unandler picked a
staunch friend of all sports, a man
born and bred in the thorough
bred horse country of blue grass
Kentucky.
In Chandler, baseball will have
a man the direct opposite of the
late Kenesaw M. Landis, who
ruled the sport with an Iron hand.
Chandler, nicknamed "Happy"
because of a cheerful disposition,
seldom gets angry or arbitrary.
Short Of Players
Ready to take over immediately.
Chandler's first big Job will be
to keep the sport going for the
duration despite the acute man
power shortages.
uoi. i.arry s. MacPhail, head of
the New York Yankees, who led
a faction which demanded that
the selection of a commissioner
be made now and not delayed
until after the war, said that
Chandler was the unanimous
choice because the owners reali
zed "he loved baseball."
