Apr. 27 — (UP) — In this major league season, already brimming over with baseball oddities, the ninth spot in the hatting order no longer is a longshot. liability for a manager who needs a hit and doesn't want to remove the pitcher for a pinchhitter. The evidence was mounting today that this is going to be a year for the pitchers not only on the hurling hill but at the plale as well. Although there is no rule which requires a manager to

Chandler To Visit Major League Cities Washington, Apr. 27 —(UP) — Senator A. B. (Happy) Chandler, new high commissioner of baseball, made plans today to visit a number of major league cities to get the "feel't of the duties of his new office. ('handler held a long conference here last night with Ford Frick, National league president, and Frank .1. Shaughnessy, head of the International league. The new czar, without giving details, said the discussions were confined to "general problems" of the game and the commissioner's office. "Frick was good enough to outline the duties of my new office and the baseball situation in a general way," Chandler said. lie added that he hoped to hold a similar conference in the near future witli William Harridge, president of the American league. Frick, Harridge and Leslie O'Connor, secretary to the late commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, have been serving as baseball's advisory council since Landis' death. Chandler attended his first game as commissioner yesterday, sitting in the president's box at. the Washington-Boston game I here. He plans to leave the capital Saturday for his home at Versailles. Ky.. where he will make arrangements for officially resigning his post in the S. senate. Chandler said his hopes for a revival of Hie all-star game this j season depended upon the pro- j gross of the war. He said be dis-' cussed the matter with Frick and Shaughnessy. place his pitcher arbitrarily at the bottom of the batting order, there' usually isn't much dispute since | (he pitcher isn't expected to do' more than go to the plate, take his swings, and return to the dugout to think of his mound chores. But if the present trend continues some forward-thinkin'g manager may decide to let his pitcher bat ahead of a few of his weak-hitting colleagues, especial-1 ly. if they do as well as they did yesterday. Take Nelson Potter, the 34-year-old right hander for the Browns. With the score tied 3-all in the ninth at Cleveland, St. Lottis manager Luke Sewell must have debated before letting Potter bat. But his judgment was vindicated when Potter hit a I single which scored Len Schulte from second with the winning run. Potter's pitching was on the sharp side. too. He turned in a seven-hit job to give lite Browns their first victory since the season opener. Harry Feldman of the New York Giants was just as impressive witli his pitching and hitting. He shut out the visiting Philadelphia Phillies, 2 to 0, on five hits and scored what proved to he the winning run in the third on Manager Mel Ott's double after he had singled. Feldman, who won his second game yesterday, hit a homer in his first winning effort. At Washington, 40-year-old John Niggeling got a double and single to paee his team at hat in a 4 to 1 victory over the Boston Red Sox, who haven't won a game to date and have lost seven. Niggeling. tough in the clutch, yielded 10 hits but left nine men stranded on base. Tlie Pliiladelphia Athletics scored all their runs in the fourth inning, wiping out a 5 to 0 deficit to upset the visiting New York Yankees, 7 to 5. The Yankees had made all their runs and pitcher Walt Dubiel appeared to lie coasting to victory when the A's teed off on him, getting three singles, three walks and a double to score four runs. Dubiel in his only times at bat got a double and a single in the losing cause. Relief pitcher Joe Berry won the decision, holding the Yanks to one hit for live innings. All other major league games were postponed yesterday. Yesterday's star —Nelson Potter of the Browns, who ended a five-game losing streak for the Browns with a five-hit victory over Cleveland and drove home the winning run with a ninth inning single for a 4 to 3 victory. 0 Spilling The Pins With Decatur Bowlers In League Activities ■I - • MIES ALLEYS Major League Kraft won three from Smith Bros.; Mutschler won two from Kohne Drug; Standard Oil won two irom McMillen; West End Restaur, ant won two from Home Grocery.
