held the lead through three quar

_
i
ST. PETERSBURG, Ha., Dec. 13
j —<■#’)—Major league club owners, de
termined to remove Baseball Com
I missioner A. B. Chandler without
' becoming involved in legal entangle
; ments, will select a new commis
; sioner as soon as possible.
! Uncertain whether they can force
i Chandler from office before the
j end of his term, the owners are
'■ hopeful that the naming of a suc
i cessor soon will prompt the com
! missioner to “see the futility of it
| all” and resign.
! An attempt to buy up Chandler’s
, contract failed when the commis
sioner reiterated his determination
I to stick to the $65,000-a-year job
1 until his five-year contract expires
May 1, 1952.
New Baseball Head
The owners voted yesterday to
, select a new commissioner to re
i place the former Governor and U.S.
Senator from Kentucky. This un
precedented action was taken in a
1 special meeting after a series of
i conferences involving the 16 club
presidents, both league heads and
a bevy of lawyers. This followed by
about 20 hours the failure of the
i club owners to vote Chandler a new
1 contract.
Chandler, who succeeded the late
Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis
; in 1945, appeared in person before
the owners to make a plea for his
job.
I "X went in ana 101a mem me
whole story. I did not recede from
my stand earlier in the day.”
“Happy” Plays Host
Despite the drastic setback.
' Chandler last night continued his
annual custom of playing host to
the club officials at a dinner which
went off without a hitch. The com
missioner seemed his old self, liv
ing up to his nickname of "Happy.”
No one ventured to mention any
j possible candidates for the import
ant position, but leading possibili
ties are Ford Frick, President of
j the National League; George Traut
I man, head of the minors; and War
ren Giles, President of the Reds.
BROUGHMAN GIVES VIEWS
SEATTLE, Dec. 13 — UPI — Did
Happy Chandler get the bounce as
baseball’s high commissioner be
cause he opposed scrapping of the
i rule barring the signing of high
I school talent?
Quoting a recent telegram in
j which Chandler asesrted he had
| “fought tooth and nail for retention
| of the high school rule,” Royal
| Broughman, sports editor of the
Post-Intelligencer, said today:
"His attitude on this important
issue undoubtedly influenced Tues
day’s action of high officials in
voting to remove Chandler from of
fice."
Lifting of the prep ban brought
the wrath of several local groups
down on the heads of the baseball
officials.

CATERPILLAR D8 TRACTOR
We may as well face the fact that it necessarily costs
real money to ship any kind of Diesel tractor to Alaska
or Yukon Territory. Wages and cost of fuel are also
high. Under these circumstances the wise purchaser naturally
looks tor the machine that will perform most efficiently and
stand up longest, regardless of initial cost. Any of the dozens
of contractors, loggers, miners and farmers in the North who
already own Caterpillar-built tractors will tell you that they
are by far the best buy. Remember, too, that they’re backed
by servlet facilities in every section of the North. We’ll be
glad to give further particulars, without obligation.
