ponement of the selection until
after the war when nationally
popular figure who had dis
tinguiShcd himself in the war ef-
fort would be available.
The fact Chandler who fits
those qualifications, was available
now and that he IS a StaunCh per

the factions 10 strike a quick
compromise.

"To me baseball IL the great
est sport In the world" Chand-
Ter said. 'Tt has brought me
probably the highest honor Of
my life. ] hope that I can do
something for the game"
Chandler's first thought when
he was notified OF his selection
was Of his family. He telephoned
his wife Al Versailles Ky.
His wife Mildred and the two
boys at home were enthusiastic.
Fifteen-year-old Ben wanted 10
know Immediately whether the
new Job means that he can GO

''It sure does, sonny" Chand-
Ter promised him.
Chambers interest in baseball
dates back 10 his earliest child
hood. He got his first taste of
