"Happy" Chand- ler, D., Ky., hoped today that as baseball's high commissioner he can be as good tor the sport as M haa been to him. 'To me baseball It the great est sport in the world," Chandler anld. "It has brought me prob ably the highest honor of my life. I hone that I oan do eome- thlnn- for the Kame." Chandler returned to the senate today to begin winding up his political affairs with ex pectation that he can do It In 30 to 60 days.

The young kids com ing along have got to have I chance to get Into the game, Baseball is going to have an im portant place in the postwar sports program. 7 Chandler left no doubt that he expects to have full authority as commissioner comparable to that of the late Judge Kenesaw M. Landls. "It never ocourred to me that it would be anything less," he said. "I can't go in there stand ing in the shadow of Judge Lan dis and not have authority to do a good job as I see it. There also was the matter of getting $90,000 a year as base ball commissioner instead of $10,000 a year as senator. Chand ler 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 children and I've got to think about them and their future too."

LEAD IN LEAGUE By United Press The Portland Beavers stretch ed their Pacific Coast league lead to one and one-half games last night by defeating Oakland, 7 to 1, while the second-place Seattle Ralnlers were rained out of a chance to make the lot of the hapless Hollywood club more miserable. In the only other scheduled game, the San Diego Padres turned on their slugging power to down the San Francisco Seals 7 to 3. . Don Pulford raoked up his fifth straight pitching win for Portland against Oakland, which dropped to fifth place, five games from the top. Pulford was in rare form, limiting the Acorns to four hits, including three doubles. Sacramento and Los Angeles open their series with a twin bill tonight.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS..?, " Judge, remember that place up (n the moun tains where we went trout fishing last year?" ''J sure do, George. We bad a great time up there, didn't we?" ''I'll never forget It But this win Interest you. Judge. I heard just yesterday that the revenue men raided a big still right near there.

"I hate to think of how that might have spread, Judge, if the Government hadn't found It possible, without Interfering with our war effort in any way, to permit a short resumption of legal whiskey produc tion recently," fats iw ifumkj CffirmniAktMit J w '.asasaa, tm.
