This Year Is Chandler Aim
WASHINGTON, April 26 (U. P.). —Baseball's new high commissioner, Senator Albert B. (Happy)
one of his first official acts will be to restore the major league all-star game in July if the war in Europe ends soon. | The Kentucky Democrat, moved almost to tears by the high tributes | of his senate colleagues, was given | a big send-off yesterday in the | closing moments of the day's ses- | sion in the chamber. It was started by 79-year-old Senator Hiram Johnson (R. Cal), who crossed over to the Democratic side and described CHandler as a “man of undisputed guts.” Shaking his finger at the 46- -year= old Kentuckian Johnson admonished him to “be yourself—baseball is peculiarly representative of this See that it represents
“I have observed you from the time you came into the senate,” he said. “I have watched you. What & boon you are to baseball. Here's to you.” ""Expresses Appreciation i Chandler arose in response and| said: | “As long as I live I'll never forget! those words of approval from one! lof the greatest men America ever| (produced. I promise ypu, Senator Johnson, that I will keep basebail| clean.” | Chandler, discussing the all-star! game, told the United Press that if! V-E day comes before July, the de-|' cision to cancel the game at least would be subjected to review, “It all depends on the circumstances,” he said, “But baseball is | patriotic and will do nothing that | would interfere with the war effort.” | O'Connor to Stay | Chandler said he had asked Leslie O'Connor, secretary to his predecessor, the late Judge K. M. Landis, to remain at his post at

Henry Tonges of Southport won both hurdle events and Bob Rodibaugh of Pike township ran the mile in 4:46 for the best in the county.
