CLUB OWNERS PARTIALLY
REGAIN BASEBALL RULE
. Chicago, Dee. 1 1-J(U.R) Con
trol of major-minor league base
ball, which rested solely in the
hands of the later Commissioner
Kenesaw M. Landis for 23 years,
cartlallv returned to the club
owner todav.
But new Commissioner A. B.
(Happy) Chandler retained a
lion's share of the Landis-born
prerogatives, Including the pow
er to throw an individual or
uroim out of baseball for "con
duct detrimental" to the game
The so-called "Chandler war"
was over. The satisfied major
and minor leagues had obtained
what they wanted, the power to
vote legislation over the comm:s
sloner's veto. And Chandler still
had what he wanted, "the power
to run baseball the way it should
be run."
Cease Firing
Presidents Ford Frick of the
National league and Will Har
rldge of the American, opening
the second day of the major
leagues' annual winter meetings,
announced the new owner-corn-
mlssloncr arrangement in a re
vised major-minor league pact
which was passed by the 18 club
owners last night.
The American and National
league owners emphasized that
the critics who have declared
"open season" on Chandler
should cease firing as the con
genial Kentuckian still has such

San Francisco, Dec. 11 (U.R)
Officials of the Pacific Coast
conference resumed their hud
dles today after full morning
and afternoon sessions yester
day that resulted In exactly
nothing as far as public an
nouncements were concerned.
While the faculty representa
tives and graduate managers
discussed the post-war problems
that will see the conference with
full membership for the first
time since 1942, rumors were
rampant and they all boiled
down to this:
Round Robin Opposed
1. California schools In the
loop (Stanford, UCLA, Califor
nia and USC) have rebelled
against the round-robin sched
ules which call for every school
in the conference to take turns
playing the smaller units Ida
ho and Montana.
2. Frank Wlckhoerst was
prominently mentioned for the
Job of head coach at University
of California, succeeding Buck
Shaw, resigned.
3. Considerable controversy
arose over the possibility of ap
pointing a new commissioner to
succeed the late Edwin N. Ath
erton. His place is being filled
temporarily by Victor Schmidt.
Wickhoerst was mentioned as a
possible choice for this post.
Would Change Code
4. A proposal that each school
appoint a "field representative,"
who would be allowed to contact
possible gridiron talent from
high schools. This would be in
exact opposition to the old Ath
erton code, which made athletes
contneted by schools ineligible
to play at that school.
From the conference leaders
there were no official announce
ments and won't be any until
late today.
The one report that wasn't a
rumor was the election of Lon
Stiner, Oregon State coach, as
head of the Conference Coaches
Association, succeeding Jeff Cra
vath of USC. The coaches then
went into session to discuss offi
cials for the 1946 campaign.
E
Chicago, Dec. 11 U.R) The
Cincinnati Reds' 1945 team was
being systematically "wrecked
today with four regulars released
or sold and others on the block.
As the major leagues' annual
winter meetings entered the sec
ond day. General Manager War
ren Giles of Cincinnati an
nounced that First Baseman
Frank McCormick had been sold
to the Philadelphia Phils.
Giles also announced that reg
ular second baseman Woody Wil
liams had been sold to Holly
wood of the Pacific Coast league
where he Joins ex-teammate
Steve. Mesner, third baseman,
and outfielder Gerry Walker,
both of whom were sent recent

Bob Watson, Tornado Fullback, Is
Honored For Outstanding Grid Job
Bob Watson, Medford high
school fullback, won the Med
ford Athletic Association's ath
lete of the month award for No
vember, according to an an
nouncement by the selection
committee today.
Watson's selection was made
on the strength of his perform
ance in the semi-final state
championship game with Grant
of Portland high school, which
Medford lost 7 to 6. Although
his pick from placement was
partially blocked resulting
Medford's one point defeat,
Watson's playing performance
was a definite standout above
any other athletic performance
here for the month, selection of
ficials said.
Mentioned In a recent article
In the Portland Oregonian as
one of the greatest running full
backs In the state, Watson ham
mered at the strong Grant line
nd rolled up yard after yard
around the ends all afternoon
but his team bogged down when
scoring territory. It was
largely due to Watson's efforts
that Medford rolled up a total of
300 yards to Grant's 07.
The selection committee con
sidered Len Williams, Ashland
fullback, because of his brilliant
work against Medford in their
game here November 9, but
ruled that Watson's playing out
shone that of Williams.
Watson, a senior, is now de
voting his time to basketball and
plans to enroll In Stanford Uni
versity after graduation next
spring.
