Chicago, Dec. 12 U.R) Albert D. (Happy) Chandler, finally at peace with the base ball world, presided over his first Joint major league meeting today aware that in a year or so he may be commissioner of three big leagues. The National and American league club owners, closing out their annual winter meetings today, were expected to uphold the minors' request to outlaw bonuses for players, as well as reinstate last season's night game rule granting the local team unlimited after-dark games only If the visiting club agrees. Bid Rejected Surprisingly, the 16 owners felt that some December, soon, 24 big leaguo owners might be in the conference room at the winter meetings, Including eight major league members from the west coast circuit. The National and American league yesterday turned down the Pacific coast circuit's bid for a "major league" label for 1946, telling League President Clar ence (Pants) Rowland to come back next year when the west coast loop might be better pre pared to present a case. President Ford Frick of the National league, announcing the owners' vote, said, "we believe that eventually the Pacific coast league will advance and become the third major league." Coait Triple-A But Frick explained that the Pacific coast, which was award ed a triple-A classification at the minor leagues' Columbus, O., meeting last week, "at present has neither the income nor the seating capacities to move into the big show next season. Rowland presented population figures running up to 10,000,000 people in arguing his case for six hours. But he knew the west coast wasn't ready. He didn't ask that the Pacific coast league champ play the winner of the World Scries. Nor did he claim that the club members were ready to pay major league salaries, a difference of an average of $8,000 to $10,000. All "Pants"' wanted was a label to tag the Pacific coast as big league baseball grounds.

The scheduling of intersec tional tilts against Notre Dame and Ohio Stale by University of Southern California: and a Washington Slate journey to play Michigan State at Lansing also were announced. Session Long The conference faculty repre sentatives took just 20 minutes to approve the schedule which graduate managers had spent two days drawing up. But the faculty members didn't break up their session until long after midnight. What the trouble was In their session still was a secret today, but the best guess was that It concerned the appoint ment of n new commissioner to succeed the Into Edwin N. Atlv erton. Prominently mentioned, if a new "czar" is elected, is Frank Wlrkhorst, Just out of the navy and a University of California assistant coach in the Stub Allison regime. Moral Victory The scheduling of seven con ference games by most schools (Washington, Oregon and OSC slated right) was considered at least a moral victory for the MEDFORD DRILLS FOR HOOP TILTS Medford high school's bas ketcers are undergoing nightly drills in an effort to whip them in shape for their season opener with Eugene high here Friday and Saturday nights. The Axemen boast a strong aggregation and will have the experience of five games under their belts when they invade the Medford court. Eugene has play ed four games with Portland schools, winning two, and also tangled with their cross-town rivals, St. Mary's of Eugene. They are sparked by a towering center named Lovelace around whom the team is built. Coach Al Simpson has cut the Tornado squad to 12 men but said the boys will not be In Hie best physical shape for the 'on tests. Starting line-up will con sist of Bob Watson and Jerry Ross, forwards; Darrell Riggs, center; and Earl Stelle and Jim Cave, guards.

BELCASTRO FACES IF T Pete Belcastro, the Wild Wop From Weed, gets his chance to meet Rough Rufus Jones in the main event of tomorrow night's wrestling card at the armory and he also gets his wish to have a different referee but he faces the possibility of being lowered to preliminary bouts if he fails to make good. That was the warning from Promoter Mack Lillard today as last minute kinks were ironed out of plans for one of the best grudge bouts of the year. Bel castro lost to the Gray Mask and Jones in successive weeks and then took a beating from Jones before the battle royal started last week and was the first man pinned. Lillard, like Belcastro, felt the Weed Assas sin had received a raw deal and consented to the return grudge go but pointed out to Belcastro that he would have to win or forfeit his main event rating, in which case he would have to again make good In the prelim inaries. Harold fBlood and Guts) Davidson still Isn't convinced the Gray Mask is a better man and, at his own request, faces the hooded monster in the bot tom half of a double main event. Davidson, who has been licked time and time again by Old Stoneface" still feels he Is the better man and wants one more chance to prove it. Fans who like their grappling clean and scientific wffl get a rare treat In the 8:30 opener when Angelo Martinelli and Ben Sherman square off. SQUAD COT TO 20 have the nod now but are In constant worry of being replaced by the other 10, Worthley said.
