B. (Happy) Chand ler says all baseball, including even the amateurs, should be under one head. He also reveals that negro diamond leaders have discussed the Question of reor-' ganizing their leagues on a basis that would permit their entry into organized baseball. Here to speak at a sports achievement banquet, the com missioner at a press conference, disclosed that the presidents of the two negro leagues had con ferred with him, President Ford Frick of the national league and President Will Harridge of the American league. Chandler said these confer ences were at the request of the negro league presidents and his revelation came in reply to a question regarding the signing of Jackie Robinson, a negro, to a Monereal International league, contract. Chandler said he was asked if he also would be commis sioner for the negro leagues. "I told them to get their house in order then come to baseball with a petition for recognition," Chandler declared. "The negro leagues favor keeping their own boys and with these leagues on a sound basis, with a contract like the one we use, they ex pect those boys to want to stay in their own class. I see no rea son why the negro leagues can not become a part of organized baseball with the commissioner serving them as he does other leagues."
