PAGE SIX SPORTS 4k OF THE I® COUNTY jfa. Solicited - - . ■■■ i t THE NEW BIG BOSS Senator A. B. “Happy” Chandler has been appointed Iho big boss of organized baseball at a salary of $50,000 a year and his first term runs for seven years. Believing that the readers of t.iis column would want to know something of I he man who is to take the late Judge Landis’ place we are giving a few facts as clipped from another paper. Chandler has been interested in baseball ever since he was old enough to play on the corner lot. His boyhood idol was Ty Cobb, and he was so ambitious j to become a big leaguer that his playmates at Corydon. Ky., called him “Ty Cobb.” But his friends in high school and college gave him the; nickname “Happy.” which has stuck with him through the years. j In high school, ho started out as a catcher, but switched to pitching and the outfield at Transylvania College. Lexing ton, Ky. One year Chandler had the modest batting average of .467 and pitched his little school to a 10-4 victory over Ten nessee University. He also played semipro and organized baseball. He was, with Grafton. X. I)., in the Red River Valley League in 1020, winning 12 of 1” games. In 1922, he joined organized ball with Lexington in the Blue Grass League. “Onething I left in the record book was a home run with the bases loaded against Marseille, he recalled. Chandler was a star basketball and football player and later a coach. lie made the all-Kentucky basketball team at Transyl vania and was the star quarterback in football, playing, against Centre College's “Praying Colonels when Bo 'Mc- Millan was beating Harvard and such teams. Chandler later scouted and coached for Centre. He pre viously coached two undefeated basketball teams at Ver sailles. Ky.. High School and Massie, a private school, as well as the girls teams at the University of Kentucky. Chandler turned from athletics to politics in 1920 whenj he was elected to the State Senate. In 1931, he became lieu tenant governor, and Governor in 1935. He came to the I nit - ed States Senate by appointment in 1939 to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Ren. Mills Logan. Tie was elected to n six-year term in 1942. TTo was born in Corydon and will be 47 years old in July. Besides the Corydon High School and Transylvania Col lege. he also attended Harvard and the University of Ken tucky law schools. He has A. B. and LL. B. degrees. He is a veteran of the first World War; practiced law in Versailles, Ky.. for about six years, was master commission- 1 er of the Circuit Court, 1930-35, is a Mason and Shrinor. and attends the Episcopal Church. r : ' X 1-- - PRESENT TIRES RECAPPED ' ?iii*stojte eActory-method -M RECAPPING sWtv,< * * N ° fR^ T '° !
