Kentucky Senator Named On First Ballot Tuesday
Kentucky Senator A B Chandler, 46, was named by unanimous vote to be the new high commissioner of baseball postwar administration, to serve a seven year term at 50000 dollars annually. Chandler, a former minor league player and Kentucky athlete, expressed willingness to serve immediately as the war ends. The selection followed a five month search to replace Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who died last November 25. Chandler’s past included governor and U S senator roles, with a plea to oversee baseball’s transition as players return from service.
