NO NIGHT BALL
 .ON SUNDAYS OR HOLIDAYS
By WALTER BYERs

Chicago. Doc i3 - UP -- Aibcfi B Happy Chandler, assured os hh position As the most powerful ng- ure in orRaniHed baseball was de- termined today 10 remove the taF- nixh which has accumulated on the commissioner name since he tool the yob last Aprii
 T believe a few miugncCrstand- ings were straighiened out ai The Joint meeti1T Chandler said. @ano I'm 0n the cead leFel 10 make the commissioner respected throughout The nation"
 chnncieT's newly gained con- ficence stemmed from the joint session of the National and AmeT.- can leagues yesterday. The ie club owners closed out their annual win ter meetings by rebuising the minor leagues and supporting the congenial KentuckAan on every controSerSal question.
 Happy" emerged from his hrSi real test as a powerful figure. His votes decided two issues, including unlimited night baseball. And the owners. in full respect of his judg- ment, supported him against Minor league proposals which the commits sioner had termed obnoxious, 'il- legal" and unfair" during the min ors' meetings at Columbus. Ohio. last week.
 Owners Go Along
 "The meeting was one of the best I've ever attended" Chandler said. The owners went right along with my decision"
 After the meeting, Larry MacPhail of the New York Yankees, a Chand- Ter booster from the start. congratu- lated the ex-Senator on nice job. It was the first joint session Chand- Ter had ever handled. Chandler voted with the Nation al league against the American on night baseball, deciding that teams in l946 can play unlimited after sundown games with the following limitations" CD Must gain con- sent of the visiting team, @ A ban on Sunday and holiday night games, and (3) A ban on twi-night doubleheaders except when necessi- tated by postponement.
 In other legislation, the Majors backed Chandler by voting to:
 1. Keep the $5O,000 promo tion fund in the hands. of the
 commissioner and the promo
 tion committee. (The Minors
 had asked that it be divorced
 from Chandler's office).
 2. Table for future action the Minors proposal to outlaw bonuses to players at the time
 for signing. Chandler was
 against it and the owners re-
 spected his judgment although
 the bill was scheduled to be
 constitution, until Jan. 12, 1947
 passed.
 8. Extend the major minor
 league agreement, ba sebalfs
 constitution, until Jan. 12, 1947.
 Deny Minors
 The owners belatedly reported they had denied the Minors bid to clip Chandler's veto powers on legislation. The joint agreement now reads that the commissioner has the power to reject legislation, but the Majors or Minors can re- pass 1t over his opposition by a three-fourths majority.
 The owners also voted the GUS tomary $2o.0 900 to the American Legion baseball program, and ruled that no high school player can be signed until after graduation or un- til one years absence from school.

Johnny thinks that he got the wrong shoes last night. and he can't imagine why anybody would want to be in his shoes. It's great life, Johnny; sometimes it doesn't pay to get up.
 Can i. be the Christmas season or are the gentlemen in the league just beginning to concentrate on their bowling? Several of them made the select 1900" class this week, Joe Valechko being the lead CT with 351. He was followed by Cor don Whitaker with 344, Dick Hy- land $40, Howard Humphries 339, Dean Clarke 337, Harry Owens 33l, and Jack Kearney, Jerry Buckley, Floyd Gensler, Slim Suvoski, Bob Nelson, Freddie Miller and Joe Pilk- ington also distinguished them selves. Only three members of the gentler sex qualified for that class, one of whom was Eileen Healy, who showed that she is getting her bowl ing arm back into shape by rolling a total of 325. The other two young ladies on the honor roll were Phyl- lis Chestone with 313 and Peg Bab- bitt with BOT. Howard Humphries finally located the head pin and was able to run up a score of 1855 for high single for the evening, while Jack Kearney was close sec ond with 134.
 Don't forget the Christmas party next week. The Plugs are hoping that the Sparks will give them a Christmas present of four points so that they may strengthen their hold on first place, but the Sparks claim that there is no Santa Claus on their team.

The demand followed the IS per
cent reduction in the volume Of air

waiting list for its four flights at 90
names by noon yesterday an d

rarely more than three.

United Airlines, which closed the
list for Its three daily flights by
midafternoon Friday. reported that
the list continued closed and esti-
mated there had been IS per cent
increase in applications in the last
week.
Three other airlines which oper-
ate larger numbers of flights than
TWA and United reported they had
not closed their waiting lists but
that these carried substantial num-
bers of names, even though nonpri-

In the case Of Pea the rush was
partly attributed to the reduction
