Chandler, MacPhail In long Conference Cincinnati. May 2 tl'P) Baseball commissioner Albert ('hander. who found no lulls in a six-and-a-half-hour chat with New York Yankee president lj»rry MacI’hall yesterday, had nothing to ; say to newsmen today, and MacPhail said all news would have to come from Chandler. Presumably Chandler nailed . MacPhail up on charges of "In- 1 subordination" because Ijtrry talked freely and bitterly of the commissioner's decisions In (he Leo Durocher case. Chandler had ordered all concerned with the case to make no comments. Before yesterday's session Mac j Phall himself said he supposed |‘ that wa- why he was called. After i 1 the long talk—which lasted from' 1 11 am. until 5:35 p.m.-the red- * haired Yank president told news- . •men: "I'm sorry; I’m not going <o be, ( able to help you any. if you want Information, you'll have to , get it from the commissioner's office." Walter Mulbry. Chandler's secretary and spokesman, said that there was "no story.” that there , probably would be no further ! MacPhail-Chandler sessions on , this particular but unnamed sub- ( ject. and that probably no state- ( merit on yesterday's meeting ever ( would be issued. Chandler himself , would not see newsmen. Mulbry was asked if It had been ' 1 a lively sixandhalf hours lie- < hind the heavy oak doors of the commissioner's office. "Well." he said hesitantly, "there were no lulls in the conversation." He would add only that baseball's highest officer and its most colorful club owner had talked "on a variety of subjects." 0 Legion Seeking To Buy Shades Park Indianapolis.
