RUBY'S REPORT Commissioner Happy Chandler Finds Self Back In Lexington With 'Red Sweater, $5 and Smile' Versailles, April 30. Senator-Baseball Commissioner A. B.
"Happy" Chandler, who made his first appearance in Lexington in 1917 with "an old red sweater, a $5 bill, and a 'smile, made his first visit to the Bluegrass metropolis as the czar of baseball today once more clad in an old red sweater, carrying $5 or more, and that same old smile. "Mrs. Chandler locked up my clothes closet preparatory to our leaving for St. Louis tonight," Happy explained to a grinningcrowd at the weekly meeting of the Co-Operative Club, "and then went out calling. I couldn't find a coat or a hat, but I told you fellows I was coming, so here I am.
just as I am." Fred Jackson, a Lexington newspaper man, called out from the back of the room, "That's all right, Happy, the first time you came here you wore an old red sweater!" And Chandler grinned, "That's right, Fred but then I DIDN'T HAVE a coat!" Chandler is an honorary life member of the Co-Op club, of which Adolph Abraham is president, and never misses an opportunity to attend. He's going back Monday night for a very special meeting a testimonial for the Commissioner. 7lV Like a Run On a Bank9 Some time ago Dudley J. Burke, a Fayette County commissioner and former bat boy for the senator-commissioner, watched a line of Happy's friends filing in his cabin door and remarked, "It beats nearly anything I ever saw it's like a run on the bank!"

Between handshakes, phone calls, business visits, dictation, and tossing footin's into his mammoth open fireplace, he kept up a rapid-fire conversation with eral old buddies lounging before the fire. "Don't all these calls and visitors bother you?" a neighbor exclaimed, and Happy replied, as he answered Burke's remark before, "No sir, but they would, brother if they should stop!" At Happy's gracious invitation I spent the day with On the way I pictured a quiet talk over old football and baseball days in the spacious Pow-Wow Chicago, April 30 C4) New Baseball Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler will have his first pow-wow with the two western members of the major league advisory committe at St.

Russ also crashed another round-tripper in the game won by the Yanks, 13-4, from "Washington. Cronin Happy As Ferriss Backs Up Leibold's Praise cabin his. friends gave him in appreciation of his outstanding work as Governor of Kentucky (1935-39). But I should have known better. Like a child in a railroad station, I watched the people come and go, heard the incessant ringing of the telephone bells, and was awed by the locomotive drive of my sweater-clad host.
Drake Nave, a former senator now manager of the Farmers Union, State Senator Bill Stewart of Versailles, State Senator Strother Melton from Paducah, State Senator Charles Warner of Mayfield, and Commissioner Burke were among the early morning visitors. On the phone were Tom Swope, veteran Cincinnati sports writer, Ray Nelson of the St. Louis Star Times and scores of others. At noon we drove to Lexington for the Co-Op luncheon and were to return immediately, but Happy can't return immediately from anywhere. He had to stop and give a bear hug to two time-honored friends of his old baseball days, Mike Wellman, the barber, and Felix Kennedy, the hardware man.
Tm Sitting On Top of the World' As we alighted from our car by the side yard (which the Chandlers' acquired by buying the lot with a house on it and selling the to a neighbor, who hauled it off). Happy spotted his older ton, Ben, 15, shooting a basketball at a rusty old goal on a weather-beaten banking board, and dashed for the court, "Give me a pass, Son," he called, "and I'll show you how to make 'two points." The two battled for baskets until a long distance call broke it up. As Happy walked toward his cabin he sang lustily, "I'm sittin' on top of the world, just rolling along, just singing a song," and Commissioner Burke grinned, "You ain't kidding." Then came more dictation, more callers, more visitors. W. I.
Lyons of Louisville, Lt. John A. Welsh of Cincinnati, and W. C. McCauley, mayor of Versailles.
Then dinner, and a rush to leave for Louisville, where Happy and Mrs. Chandler were to entrain for St. Louis. You hold down the house, will you Mimi?" Chandler said, "As usual," smiled the pretty little daughter, who gave up a Hollywood for marriage (to an Army officer now in the Pacific) and home, "but please hurry back, or you'll have a nervous breakdown for a daughter." The Indians make Iheir first visit to Louisville under the leadership of Bill Burwell, fofmer Louisville manager. After the final game of the Columbus series was called off early yesterday because of cold weather, it was announced that Frank Piet, utility infielder, would join the club tonight.

Louis Browns in his first start after receiving his Navy discharge and whipped Cleveland next. In 18 innings Benton has allowed only six hits, to take his place as a valuable complement to the pitching team of Dizzy Trout and Hal Newhouser. BACK STOP Catcher Mickey Livingston came out of the Army in November and took control of the Chicago Cubs receiving in spring training, working all but one of the games to date. The former Fhil hit .273 against strong western pitching. Harry "Peanuts" Lowrey, diminutive Cubs centerfielder, replaced Andy Pafko in the middle garden for Charley Grimm's highflying team and showed promise with a .250 batting average.
He came out of the-service in midwinter. Billy Southworth is banking heavily on another former G.I., Albert "Red" Schoendienst, who was heralded as a sensation before his minor league career was halted at Rochester last spring by the Army. DIVE HALTED The Boston Red Sox pulled out of their alarming nosedive shortly after Jack Tobin recovered from a finger injury and was able to go to third base. A brother of the Braves' Jim Tobin, young Jack was discharged from the Navy after two and a half years service and created a mild sensation at the Atlantic City training camp. Latest Red Sox surprise is Dave "Bo" Ferriss, discharged from the Army Air Force in February, and who broke in yesterday with a 2-0 whitewash of Philadelphia.
Van Lingle "The New" Mungo wasn't able to win one of his first three starts for the New York Giants but Mel Ott is counting heavily on the former soldier. He actually hasn't pitched a bad game. Little Vic Lombardi of Brooklyn stopped the Giants. on relief after coming to the Brooks from the service. Cooper In Today St.
Louis, April 30 (IP) Walker Cooper, team captain of the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals, will be inducted into the army tomorrow at Jefferson Barracks. Dietrich Out Chicago, April 30 VP) Pitcher Bill Dietrich of the Chicago White Sox may be benched a it just exactly right one day year or so ago and caught 50 good sunnsn in one day. Barnes also reports that more than 200 anglers were after 'em Sunday a week ago in that spot. The bass and crappie were taking artificial bait as well as live and the drum and perch were going for worms as often as anyone had a right to expect.
25,000 Bass Fry Ed Ernst, member of the State Game and Fish Commission, and Clipp Sipe put 17,000 small-mouth bass fry into Busath's pond at Buechel yesterday afternoon, so they would have room to grow and be planted in public waters as fingerlings this fall. Saturday, Ernst and the State seining crew put 8,000 of the same kind of fry in the 24 -acre pond. Juniors to Form It is likely that a junior conservation club will be formed at Jeffersontown tonight. Ed Adams, superintendent of junior club work for the Division of Game and Fish, and members of the Jefferson County Sportsmen's Club, will direct the meeting in the high school. BREGER ton Red Sox wouldn't take for his contract.
For it was 23-year-old Ferriss who stode the baseball headlines yesterday in the first major league game he ever pitched, shutting out the Philadelphia A's 2-0 and getting three hits in as many times at bat. The A's made only five hits, only one of them for extra Eases, and the strapping youngster struck out five batters. ONE LOOK On February 26, the Army Air Forces unexpectedly handed Ferriss his honorable discharge because of chronic asthma. Under contract to the Red Sox, he wired Cronin for instructions and was told to report to the Louisville farm club in the American Association. Nemo Leibold, manager at Louisville, took one 1 look at the six-foot, three-inch 210-pound righthander, watched his whistling fast bSll and wired Cronin: "You can use this lad." Cronin wired back to "Hold him awhile." Ferris pitched six innings for Louisville against Bucky Walters and the Cincinnati Reds, and he showed enough to make Leibold more emphatic in a second wire which said simply: "Take this boy." Four days ago Ferriss reported to the Red Sox and saw his first Butler Lake Open to Fishing May Closing Waived By Conservation Department KEN TAYLOR, Assistant Sports Editor.

DO NOT MISS THIS HISTORIC COMBAT! By I IShermen along the north- ern border of Kentucky from Covington to Louisville got a break yesterday. Katie Vallandingham, custodian of Butler State Park Lake, near Carrollton, announced that she had received instructions that fishing would be allowed in the lake for the entire month of May. The word came from Harold Browning, commissioner of conservation for Kentucky, that the lake would be left open this May instead of being closed during the spawning season-as has been the case in past years. Jurisdiction of the lake is under the Division of Parks, a part of the Conservation Department. BEST IN YEARS H.
B. Schuerman, who relays all the hunting and fishing news from that section, reported last week that the fishing at Butler Lake during April, had been the best in years. During the past two weeks the 45-acre lake has yielded liberal catches of bass, newlights and catfish and for the first time in the history of the lake anglers have been catching white bass in Butler. It is thought the recent flood waters of the Kentucky River carried the whites into the lake. Butler Lake has been one of the most popular fishing grounds in Kentucky because it is within the range of anglers from both the Covington and Louisville metropolitan areas.
Reports throughout last year, indicated that Butler was becoming overstocked and Browning's action is made with the hope of improving angling during the other months of the summer and fall.
