He and Skeeter Newsome each batted in three runs By LARRY SHROPSHIRE The Kentucky High School Athletic Association will have a newly constituted board of control by June 1 composed of eight members representing as many clearly defined areas of the state and the job bf selecting the first commissioner of athletics will be handled by that group not by the present board of seven which had expected to make the choice The new board will have authority to hire a commissioner on a four-year contract fix the salary for him and his office assistants and have him installei on the job by July 1 His office probably will be established in Lexington Three of those who will cast votes in the selection of the commissioner holdover members who apparently didn't share in the confidence vote" accorded the present board by the association's delegate assembly at its annual meeting Thursday in Louisville are Lyman Ginger of Lexington Taiton Stone of Carrollton and Matt Sparkman of Paintsville The assembly ironing out with a late swift stroke the plan to reorganize the association and obtain a commissioner also during a two-hour session also voted to continue holding the annual state high school track meet at Stoll Field at the University of Kentucky The delegates required only Happy Pitches Fast At Feast "We're going to try to hit a little more and run a little more even if we have to sacrifice a little on defense" said Neun don't know just where we'll get the hitters but we'll keep trying until we find them" The current crew may lapse into the old rut of being a field no hit" club for Neun is operating with untried rookies in key positions and it would be surprising If they kept up their early spring slugging But the Reds made four homers Thursday two by Rookies Clyde Vollmer and Frank Baumholtz and two by Veterans Augie Galan and Ray Lamanno in their 10-hit 9-4 The motion was amenriM vide for filling out the rrw by June 1 and for its sclrt il0n a commissioner as soon a 7

that a-consolation division be added to the state championship cage tournament and only a few minutes were used in debate before they defeated a proposal to eliminate the rule which now permits a returned service veteran who Is otherwise eligible to compete in high school sports until his 21st birthday They approved a regulation requiring that principals of schools involved as well as officials of the contest report to the board of control any incidents of poor sportsmanship or any fights or disturbances occurring in or related to athletic contests With these and other matters scheduled for action at the meeting quickly disposed of the assembly began consideration of the lengthy reorganization proposal a change which had been directed at last meeting The 1946 assembly had set 55000 as the annual salary limit Before calling for discussion or action on the proposal President Russell Bridges school superintendent at Fort Thomas spoke for 25 minutes outlining his views of the program to be expected under the new athletic and stating what he believed to be the necessary qualifications of the man to be chosen Among his remarks was one that Indiana paid an $8000 salary to its high school commissioner and $6200 to his assistant He also denied that he had ever been in spirit or in fact" an applicant for the job Although it had been expected that some controversy would be provoked by the proposal plan particularly that section allowing the board of control to fix the salary for the position no discussion was offered after Bridges had concluded his remarks When a standing vote was taken the pro- posal was approved 34-12 a two-third majority of the votes cast being necessary for adoption i After the vote was announced the meeting appeared to be on the verge of adjournment when Henry Chambers principal of the Wick- liffe school and delegate from Dis- trict 2 arose to ask whether seiec- tion of the commissioner would be made by the present board or the new one He pointed out that while the reorganization proposal called for a commissioner and an eight-man board of control it did not provide for selection of the The Crusader score is shown 73-42 Hose

Commissioner A (Happy) Chandler Belying the nickname tagged on him during his collegiate days the former Kentucky senator Thursday night utilized a Cleveland baseball writers dinner honoring President Bill Veeck to throw some Sunday punches at the writers who have criticized his actions since he took office 23 months ago have respect for some of these baseball writers" Chandler declared I've learned that you don't have to know anything to write You just need a pencil paper and the time But they must learn that they make decisions for me point out what a great person Judge Landis was He was a great man a rugged individualist But unlike the sports writers I am not able to commune with Judge Landis to determine what he would have done I make my own decisions disavow owing anybody in baseball anything except the obligation to see that the game is properly run It makes no difference to me if my contract is not renewed I've never been without a job hard to hit major league pitching at first but I'm catching on And until I call the play remember it's Chandler did not specifically mention Leo Durochcr manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers whom he suspended for one year but did remark: writer says I should have given him only a month: another says he deserves 99 In other portions of his address Chandler declared have the greatest organization we have ever had to protect baseball from the threat of gambling Club owners and players have been warned and I shall take every action necessary to keep baseball free from Order Now A Knall handicap Luck winr for the Ca named tod urday
