Majors Give
Happy" Vote
OfCOnfidence

CHICAGO, Dec. II - R -
Commissioner A. B. Chandler
mad a paradoxical vote Of con-
fidence from his baseball bosses,
six minor leagues were promot-
ed q notch, and two National
League doormats had launched a
l946 rebuilding program as the
Major Leagues moved into the
second day of their winter meet
ing today.
Chandler, rebuffed by the mi
nor Leagues at their annual vic
time of misunderstanding" but
also defined as a commissioner
without the dictatorial power of
his predecessor, the late Kene-
saw Mountain Lands.
The Majors approved the
amendment 70 the Major-Minor
agreement adopted by the min,
ors last week which removes
from the Commission r right to
rule baseball legislation "detri-
mental" This was the same rule
adopted by the Majors a few
weeks after Lands death in No
vember, 1914, and before
Chandler became commissioner.
1t was not the intent, the Ma
jors said after a joint session
yesterday, to take away any Of
the Commissioners authority to
investigate, determine and pun
ish conduct detrimental to base
ball." He can still suggest recon-
sideration by the magnates of
legislation he considers "im-
practical or disadvantageous" to
baseball, but the owners can
override his veto which they
couldn't do to Lands under the
old code.
The unofficial highlight Of
the opening session was the sale
by the Cincinnati Reds of Vet
eran First Baseman Frank
(Buck) Mccormick to the Phil
adelphia Phillies for q reported
$4,000 in cash and one player
to be named later.
Thus the Phils, last in the
1945 National Circuit race, have
done the only real bartering OF
the Minor-Major sessions. AT
Columbus, the Phils obtained
Pitcher Johnny Humphries from
the Chicago White Sox.
The Reds seemed unconcerned

admitted they were breaking up
their infield and planned to re-.
build youthful combination

The Majors approved the
boost of the international
League. American Association
and Pacific Coast League to
"AAA" classification; the Sou
thern Association and Texas
League to "AA;" and the South
Atlantic League to "a" Thus
the top Minor League clubs have
attained their long ambition for
