Chandler To Retain Power I . Over Baseball Chicago, Dec. II (UP>—Control of major-minor league baseball which re«te<l solely In the hands of i the laL- commissioner Ken'iaw M. I kindle for 23 year*, partially re- : turned to the club owner* today. But new commissioner A B. 1 (Happy) Chandler retained a Hon's share of the Landis-born perogstives. Including the power to thrown an Individual or group out of bus ball for "conduct detrimental" to the game. The so-called "Chandler war” was over. The satislled major and minor league* had obtained what they wanted, the power to vote legislation ov- r the commissioner's veto. And (’handler still had what ,he wanted. "The power to run basebull th<- way It should be run." President* Ford Frick of the nai tlonal leagu ■ and Will Harridge of the Aimrlcan. second day of the major leagues' annual winter meetings, announced the new owner- commissioner arrangement in a revised major-min-or leagu- pact which was passed by the 16 dub owner* last night. Rallying the owners in support of Chandler. Frick and Harridge jointly stated that "no action taken by either major or minor league* since the election of th ■ commissioner has had the purpose or effect of limiting his Jurisdiction as commissioner.” Actually Chandler doe* nut have all of the arbitrary, unimpeachable powers of Lendl*. But tv- has more than enough to keep baseball healthy nnd prevent anything like another "hlac k Sox'* scandal, the reason the commissioner's office was organized In revising the pact, the major leagues yesterday approved a proposal made by the minor leag>jes at Columbus, 0., that they he allowed to pass legislation over the : commissioner's v to hy a threefourth majority. The major* put that clause In their agreement before signing the commissioner to a contia.-l last April. But granting the minors' permission tn do the same climaxed and end>cl she changes In the ina jor minor pact. It was a noticeable c hange in all, because when Ucnd- ' Is used to say "no" to anything - i it was final! The American and national league owners emphasized that the critic* who have cl rclared "open I {season" on Chandler should cease tiring a* the congenial Kentuckian still has such principal {cowers as: 1. Authority to investigate, determine and punish conduct detrimental to baseball. 2. Pow.r to ban any individual - p—___ CORTI • : ♦ — Last Tima Tonight — | "FALCON in SAN FRANCISCO" Tom Conway.
