Chandler Hopes
 ToHeIp WorVets

New York, June 5-(UP)-Base- balls new commissioner, Sen. Albert B. (Happy) Chandler, said today he would work with a committee of 12 from the Major and Minor Leagues to help readjust returning service men to the best possible positions in the postwar period.
 T intend to exert every influ- ence to see that ballplayers return ing from the armed services get a chance to remain in the game" he said.
 Chandler, meeting New York sports writers informally for the first time, said that he had not de- cided when to give up his United States Senate post, but that he al- ready had begun active duties in his new job as successor to the late Judge K. M. Landis.
 The committee of 12, four each from the two Major leagues and four from the Minors was appointed more than a year ago and Chandler said that 1t would have full control of the destinies of baseball players who were professionals before going into the armed forces. He said he wanted to use wounded players as coaches throughout the nation. Those players could teach base ball to the kids in the land" he said. They would be respected by the kids and they would earn a good living in addition"

Ferriss Also Heovy-Hitter

Boston, June 5-(UP)-DaVe Fer riss, the Red Sox fabulous freshman finger, was ready to try for his eighth straight triumph today as the club opened a three-game ser ies with the tailend Philadelphia Athletics.
 Another win would put the draWl- ing Mississippian just two games be- hind the consecutive victory record for rockies which was set by Harry Krause of the Athletics in 1910. Ferriss also leads the American League pitchers with seven wins and no defeats, including shutouts with four.
 Paced by the husky eX-soldier, the Red Sox have won 10 of their last 15 games against western clubs, ad- vancing from the cellar to the head of the second division. They are only five games out of first place. Ferriss also is atop the clubs bat ting list with .444 average, follow ed by Johnny Lazor at 400, Eddie Lake, .342; Bob Johnson, 1909, and Ben Steiner, 1902.
 The Braves were slated to open in Philadelphia after dropping eight of their F games on the road. General manager John Quinn attempted to swing a player deal in Chicago but was unable to come to terms with Jimmy Gallagher, business manager of the Cubs.

Mexicons Didn't Like The Way Their Zurito Fell On His Face; Rote CheckerhoII Derby Colt
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Sports Editor

New York, June ;-Efrain Hi- dalgo and Gregorio Reyes are in New York with a sad report of the second-round knockout of the first native-b born Mexican world boxing champion, Juan zurita, by Ike Will Hams, the Negro lightweight of Philadelphia, in Mexico City the other night.
 Hit on the chin by a right hand punch, zurita fell on his face" stresses Kid Reyes. Now, who ever saw a bloke belted on the lug fall on his kisser. He is knocked backward"
 Little Kid Reyes is eminently qualified to speak. While he now wears glasses, he hasn't mark to show for IFS starts as a flyWeight in the 1920's, and two of his oppo- nents were the lamented Pancho Villa and the very industrious Cu- ban, Black Bill.
 Reyes says the Mexican people didn't like the ending, looked upon the entire situation obliquely. zuri- ta was a 3-1 favorite, and more than a half a million pesos, or $1OO,OOO, was lost by his admirers Mario Moreno Cantinflas, the Charlie Chaplin of Mexico, alone dropped 5O,00O pesos and a Packard car.
 Anyway, zurita is no longer po- pular south of the border. Sam Rosoff, the New York subway build CT, promoted the show for the Mex leo City lilk Fund and it grossed 46O, ,OOO pesos, the highest gate ln the country's history.
 Efrain Hidalgo is president of the United Newspapermen of Latin America, Reyes the president of the Mexican Turf Writers Association Reyes is the racing writer of Nove- dades the biggest daily in Mexico patterned after American neWspa 1 pers.
 With the field practically to itself Mexico City's magnificent Hipo- dromo de las Americas had another terrific season, and Reyes insists Il is returning to America a stout Kentucky Derby threat in Checker hall, bay son of Hairan-Discern which Henry Forrest picked up al the yearling sales for s11o0.
 Checkerhan swept the 3-year-olc field in Mexico City, was beater only by the 5-year-old Mexican Man O War, Gay Dalton, which vii make the others do a lot of hustline in the s1OO, GOO Santa Anita Handi- cap. Among other things 1T Checkerhall's favor is a winter ol racing under his belt and the fact that he has demonstrated he will like a mile and a quarter.
 Mexico City enjoyed its biggest sports winter. Racing has caught on tremendously. Soccer is played before crowds of 50,000. There is baseball galore, but bull fighting Is still the main event.
 Bull fighting is the only thing ir Mexico for which you have to bt on time.

PRO FOOTBALL
 DREAMS OF MANY GROUPS 6 Q N E

Chicago, June - (U.P) - Two more professional football leagues were buried in the "gridiron grave yard' today as promoters scurried to get out of the game while the getting is good.
 Abandoning million-dollar post war plans, the trans American cir cult and the United States Football League officially called it quits, thus joining the American League and other professional groups which have failed to crack the National Football Leagues grid monopoly.
 Postwar gridirons were scheduled to be jam-packed according to plans month ago with the all-America conference, the U. s. League and the Trans America prepared to compete with the 25-year-old Ma tional League. Even the American League was considering revival on the west coast. Now only the All-America is left.
 For the others. yesterdays dreams of plenty are today's nightmares.
 Their fate was decided when the N. F. L. met in New York during the weekend and announced that it's Brooklyn Tigers would make Yankee Stadium their home park in 1946.
 That action left the New York Giants of the N. F. L. in the Polo Grounds, put the Tigers in the only | other good Manhattan site and sounded the death knell to all but one of it's potential rivals. Major league promoters feel they must have team in New York tc make a go of it.
 Chick Meehan, head of the Trans America, notified franchise holders in his league it would be best tc withdraw and returned their money
 United States franchise holders planned to hold on even after liar. old (ReO Grange quite as pres. ident of their league Friday. But the National Leagues action caused them to throw in the sponge today
 And from the west coast come! the report that the American League, which folded in mid-seasor last year, has given up hope of re. organizing. There still is posSi' bility, however, that the American may try to hook up with the old Pa. cific Coast League.

 90 Winners

Though favored to win close game because it was played in Wa tertown, Leavenworth came through in surprisingly easy fashion by a go shutout over the Indians yes terday, marking the close of sad season for Bob Cooke's boys. Herb Carlone's pitching and hitting was a Tech standout, the local lads get ting three runs in the opening inn ing. Carlone gave up but three hits and got "3 for 5" off Sorensen when the Leavenworth moundsman came to bat. Steve Perrone also hit well for the winners, who will close a fair season next Saturday at Tor rinptOn
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-05

In many of the positions the players are so outstanding there would be little dispute. However, there was considerable conflict in others and both leagues could pro- vide a number of stars as compe- tent alternates.
 In the outfield, Jimmy Outlaw of Detroit and Bob Johnson of the Red Sox would fit nicely into the American League picture while Bill Nicholson of the Cubs, Vance Ding es and Vince DiMaggio of the Phils, Johnny Fucker of the Giants, and Tommy O'Brien of the Pirates could step in to take the place of any of the top-grade National League pasture men.
 One of the most difficult spots to select top man was at third base in the National League where Ku- rowski rated a bare edge over the brilliant fielding Stan Hack of the Cubs, Napoleon Reyes of the Giants and the ever-steady Bob Elliott of the Pirates. There also was room for argument in the naming of Stanky at second base over the harder hitting Don Johnson of the Cubs. but Stanky's spunk and field ing are cited as the principal factor in the rise of the Dodgers from second division obscurity.
 At first base Cavaretta was only a measure ahead of the great clutch-hitter, Frank Mccormick of the Reds, and in the American League McQuinn was the choice over Nick Etten of the Yankees only because of his superior field ing. Fresh, having his best season behind the plate, rated little ahead of the reliability guy, Frank Hayes of the Indians, although 1t would be hard to pass up the every day consistency of Hayes, now seek ing a Major League record for con- secutive appearances.
 The National Leagues hitting Is superior to that of the American, but whether the top sluggers, Holmes, Ott, Kurowski, Olnlo, and Lombardi, could deliver against such pitching as Rookie Ferriss, or Christopher, Borowoy, and Gromek could put up against them is a matter of conjecture.
 And there is not much chance that the argument will be settled since the all-star game is an eX- pendable home front luxury. Per haps a few of them will get togeth- or against each other in the World Series

Somers Brass USR Teams Share SoftboII Lead

Good pitching by left-handed Bob Mercer and timely hitting by right handed Joe Joyce was enough to convince Waterbury Tool softball team and its Hardy BroWnell that the Scovill ERA combine is very much "on the ball'' as far as the championship is concerned. Last night, Mercer outpitched the Tool ace, Hardy Brownell Scovill beating Tool, Az after spotting the Tool tossers a two edge in the first in ming on pair of walks and Hogan's single.
 The win was protested by Man ager Tom Carmody of the Tool team on Umpire Mastrianna' ruling Tool outfelder Fraser tout" while at bat, because the ball was hit twice by the batter on the same swing, hay ing bounded off the ground to hit the bat for the second time. Car mody's contention is that the ball should have been ruled as "foul'' allowing Fraser to continue at bat.
 United States Rubber of Nauga- tuck, with six-hit pitching from Bill Rado subdued USTime 5-2 while Somers Brass, aided by Whitey Miscavage's pitching won from Waterbury Mfg. "A Joe Geyda of UsR; hit tdo doubles Daunis of Somers scoring two runs with a three-base knock.
 American Metal Hose surprised French Mfg. 5-3, Rinaldi's batting scoring 3 runs though Esposito of French allowed but five hits. Ray mond and Coatta went well for the losers.
 Waterbury Companies edged Chase 7-6 and Benrus, saved by Red Radke ] in the final inning when he famed three CLIP batterS, was a Az win ner in a tight national division game. Three Benrus runs in the third inning proved enough to win, though the Powermen had the equalizng runs on base in the final inning, when Radke came through with his nothing" ball to retire the side.
