Commissioners Fail to Re
new Contract - Big
Shock Is Result
ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., Dec. 12
—</■!—Failure to renew Albert B.
Chandler’s contract as baseball
commissioner exploded a bombshell
last night that left the entire sports
world agog,
Flabbergasted by the major league
club owners decision, the baseball
people attending the winter meet
ings were wondering what the next
move would be. About the calmest
people here were the club owners
themselves.
The most surprised man was ;
Chandler. So stunned was the com
missioned upon hearing the adverse '
news that he immediately resigned,
then changed his mind and de
cided to finish out his current five
year-term which expires May 1,
1952.
The anti-Chandler group is will
ing to buy up his contract if he
will resign. Chandler’s pay was offi
cially announced last December to j
be $65,000 a year. It was then that
the owners voted to grant him a
$15,000 raise.
One anti-Chandler leader, who
declined the use of his name, said
owners were prepared to fire
Chandler on the spot but cited a
baseball rule that forbids the re
leasing of the commissioner before
the expiration of his contract.
“We are prepared to pay him for
the remaining 17 months tomorrow,”
the owner said, “if he were to re
sign. That would be the best thing
for the commissioner to do.”
Fred M. Saigh. President of the
St. Louis Cardinals, one of the
owners most opposed to Chandler,
said he thought a new commissioner
should be named as soon as possible.
“I would like to see a man with
a judicial temper selected for the
highest job in baseball," he said.
There was switching of votes in
the closed meeting last night. A trial
[ ballot resulted in a 9-7 count in
favor of Chandler. The next vote
was 8-8. After Chandler asked the
owners to re-consider, a new ballot
restored the 9-7 edge. He needed
112 votes for re-election.
WILL STICK ON JOB
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Dec. 12
—tf)—A. B. Chandler declared today
he would stay on the job until the
end of his term as baseball commis
sioner. His time is up May 1, 1952.
In a statement to the press,
Chandler declared, "I have been
asked about my immediate and fu
ture plans. These embody no change
from the schedule I had set up be
fore I came to the meetings here.”

ordered his forces and the Chinese
fighting with them to push Ameri
can armies into the sea.
Villagers Desperate
The climactic point of collapse in
the campaign sponsored by 53 non
Communist nations to smash Red
Korean aggression and unify the
divided country was accompanied
by near-panic among Korean civil
ians.
Hordes of non-military Koreans
—and probably some fifth column
ists — were swarming southward
across the frozen countryside. They
crowded into every available vehicle
or trudged through the snow and
long roads and trails. Whole vil
lages were on the move in queues
of desperation—or opportunity in
the case of disguised Reds.
Anxiety was apparent in South
Korea's capital of Seoul. Lines of
refugees streamed southward from
the city as crowds entered from the
north'with their feeling of insecurity
unabated.
FIERCE MONGOLIANS FIGHT
Some 27 Chinese Communist di
visions—including 8.000 to 14,000
fierce Mongolian cavalrymen — to
day pressed menacing feelers toward
South Korea after driving the bulk
! of the United Nations forces from
the north.
Shaggy little Mongolian ponies
and supply caravans of two
humped camels such as the medi
eval conqueror Genghis Khan used
centuries ago gave bizarre but ef
fective mobility to the vanguard of
Red China's 1.000.000-man force as
it streamed unopposed over almost
all of North Korea.
