Happy Chandler New Baseball Commissioner Named On First Ballot
A. B. Happy Chandler United States Senator from Kentucky was chosen unanimously by the 16 major league team representatives as baseball commissioner to guide the sport through the war's end and the transition to postwar era. The 46 year old ex minor leaguer will earn $50 000 annually for a seven year term and said he would be immediately available. Chandler, a former all state basketball player and football quarterback, has risen from Kentucky state senator to governor and U S senator. He faces war and postwar player reunions and potential structural changes, with the job widely seen as a personal triumph for Larry MacPhail of the New York Yankees who urged his selection. Other considered candidates included Ford Frick Lewis Ohio Governor Lausche Democrat National Committee chairman Hannegan and James Farley.
