Baseball Men Said Ready
To Buy Off Commissioner
'" Chicago, Oct. 8 OT.R) Major
league baseball owners today re
portedly were preparing to "buy
off" Sen. A. B. (Happy) Chan
dler' seven-year contract as
baseball commissioner to pave
the way for selection of a new
commissioner.
Reports were rife at World
Series headquarters concerning
the owners alleged dissatisfac
tion with the manner in which
Chandler has handled his com
missioner duties.
Report Spreads
The report ran like wildfire
through the approximately iuu
sportswrltcrs gathered here for
the 1945 series.

TRUE GLORY
COMING
Chandler to succeed the late
Kenesaw M. Landis only last
April at a meeting in Cleveland,
supposedly were attempting to
negotiate with Chandler in an
effort to settle the contract
which calls for a $50,000 annual
salary and gives Chandler pow
ers practically equal to those en
joyed by Landis during his 23
year reign as the game's tirst
commissioner.
According to one baseball of
ficial, several club owners are
provoked by: 1) Chandler's han
dling of World Series business,
and (2) the fact that he has over
stepped his Jurisdiction as com
missioner and 'meddled in
strictly intra-league affairs."
To Cut Figure
The owners reportedly want
to negotiate with Chandler in an
effort to "buy off" the contract
at something less than its writ
ten $350,000 value, figured nn
seven years at $50,000 annually
Chandlers unavailability at
the third World Series game in
Detroit Friday was cited as the
latest incident in the growing un
rest. Duo to rain, there was
some doubt if the game would
be played, but Chandler was not
present at Briggs stadium to
make a ruling 13 minutes before
the game because he was attend
ing a political luncheon.
The possibility of such an un
precedented move by the club
owners kept most of the report
ers checking" various owners here
as well as trying to locate Chan
dler most of Uio night. Every
major league club with the ex
ception of Washington is repre
sented at the series.
