“UAPPY” CHANDLER WILL CONFER
TODAY WITH BALL CLUB OWNERS
WASHINGTCHN, suiy 12—(AP)
—A. B. “Happy” Chandler, base
ball commissioner, sits down to
day to become better acquainted
with the men who hired him.
Some of the big league club
owners never have met the raan
they selected as successor to the
late Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Landis in the game’s highest po
sition.
By a characteristic Chandler
stroke, the Kentucky senator will
preside at a joint major league
session in his first formal meet
ing with baseball’s bigwigs.
Many were here yesterday for;
2 separate American league ses
sion. The National leaguers are
due in time for a morning meet
ing before the joint get-together.
On the agenda, .officially or
unofficially, are:
Signing of Chandler’s seven
year, $50,000 a year contract.
Complaints by high school and
college against the signing of
teen-age players.
Current tremsportation prob-
lems, = .-
Transfer of the finances of the
commissioner’s office to Walter
W. Mulbry, secretary-treasurer
under Chandlér, v
Salaries obe paid Mulbry, Les
lie M. O'Conngr, special assistant
to the commissioner, and office
help. Wl
A general outline of - what the
owne-s expeet. of Chandler and.
what he expeets of them.
The American leaguers, in
their meeting yesterday, reach
¢d an understanding that sched-‘
ules will be reshuffied to meet
increasing transportation diffi
culties. s
Will Harridge, league president,
said one of the best ways 10
combat the situation is for all
teams to play games as early 8s
possible, even $1:30 p. m., under
certain conditions.
This would enablé the teams
to make some hops without night
travel.
In some cases, the last game of
a series, originally scheduled at
night, may have to be played in
the daytime qev advanced a day
as a prt of a doubleheader.
“We’l] make whatever changes
ave necessary. in order to fit our.
schedules in with sleeping-car
accommodations and other travel
conditions,” Harridge said.
The National league is exp-c
--ted to adopt a similar policy.
Vols Seem About
To Break Loose |
For A Win Streak
ATLANTA, July 12.—(API)\—-:
Deep down in the Southern _S
sociation cellar, the Nashville
Vols are about to break loose
with one of those blazing stretch
drives for which Manager Larry
Gilbert is noted. ;
The Vols have been mired SO
deep—they’re 24 1-2 games back
of leading Atlanta .— that few
folks outside . Nashville have
watched their progress recently.‘
During the past two weeks,
Gilbert’s men have won nine
while losing five, have raised
their percentage from .267 to 338
and advanced to within two and
a half games —of seventh place
Birmingham. Two weeks ago
they were 8 1-2 games back of
the Barong .
The Vols defeated Birmingha_m
7-4 last night for their third win
against one loss in the four-game
series, and they did it the har’d
way. Catcher Roy Easterwopds
three-run homer in the ninth
provided the margin of victory.
The" -Nashville-Birmingham tiit
was the only game in the South
ern last night.
Tonight’s games:
Atlanta at Little Rock (2). .
Chattanooga at Memphis (2).
Mobile at Birmingham.
New Orleans at Nashville,
many of the older campers
swimming their “miles” for the

Major Teams Go
Info Fourth
Sectional Series
BY JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Baseball swings into a fourth
vital intersectional series today
with the Chicago Cubs and Detroit
Tigers, respective league leaders,
showing- largest gains over their
1944 mid-season standings. -
A year ago both the Bruins and
Bengals were mired deep in
seventh place while today’s won
and lost records show Chicago
one game ahead of the National
pack and Detroit with a 4 1-2
length advantage in the American.
Both 1944 champions, the St.
Louis Cardinals and Browns, are
behind their ’44 pace, the Cards
9 1-2 games off last year’s pace
and dropped from the lead to
third. Luke Sewell’s “Cinderella
Gang” has had tougher sledding,
dropping from first to sixth, six
games behind their pennant-win
ning gait.
Last year's American League
derby was tossed into a wild
scramble by the return of Dick
Wakefield right after the annual
All-Star game. With Wakefield in
left field, the Tigers drove from
the second division into the fight,
losing on the last day of the sea
son. This year Detroit has been
first since June 12 and comes east
to open in Boston with a chance of
‘building a solid lead by a repeti
tion of their first successful roads
jaunt.
Charley Grimm was just be
ginning to right the Cubs’ a year
ago after their disastrous eardy
season record when they dropped
11 of their first 12 starts, now
| Chicago has just returned from a
sizzling eastern trip on which they
won 13 of 16 and displaced Brook-
Iyn in first place.
The Boston Braves, who were
manhandled by the Bruins 24-2
and lost an entire series to Chi
cago at home, lead the invaders
into Wrigley Field followed by
New York, Brooklyn and Phila
delphia. The Dodgers open their
drive to regain the lead in Cin
cinnati and third-place St. Louis
only 1 1-2 games off the pace,
open a series of night engagements
|at Sportsman’s (Park with the
Giants.
Detroit comes to the Atlantic
Seaboard with Dizzy Trout and
two lesser pitchers on the ailing
list but with Hank Greneberg
making his first swing around the
circuit and Hal Newhouser burn
ing up the loop at his:l944 pace.
After Boston, the Tigers face an
important four-game series in New
York and then move on to Wash
ington and Philadelphia.
More than one baseball expert
returned from the west with the
conviction that Washington repre
sents the east’s number one flag
conftfender on its five-star pitching
staff.
TO RECRUIT PLAYERS
MIAM]I, Fla., July 12—(/P)—Be
cause South American and Cuban
jai alai players are hard to get,
Richard I. Berenson, president of
the Biscayne fronton here, says
he will leave July 31 for Spain to
