NO RACING TALKED
AS CHANDLER AND
MACPHAIL CONFER
Meet For First Time Since
Senator Was Named
Commissioner
By BUS HAM

WASHINGTON, May 18.-R -
Larry MacPhail and A. B. Hap
py" Chandler met today for the
first time since the Kentucky Sen
ator was elected baseball commits
sioner. They did not discuss horse
racing.
It was an informal visit by the
New York Yankee head, widely
credited with putting Chandler in
the sports highest position, but
they "got over lot of ground, :"
including draft and manpower
conditions.
A reporter asked them whether
anything was said about Mac
PhaiIs attendance Wednesday at
the opening of racing at Pimlico
in Baltimore. Chandler previous
ly had said that tracks were off
limits for ball players.
''You don't think that was sum-
moned down here?" MacPhai!
grinned.
my only worry now is about
getting a day off to see the Ken
lucky Derby" he went on. 'But
I don't think Defense Transporta-
ton Director J. Monroe johnson
would like that so I'll probably
have to settle for the Preakness. :"
Earlier in the day Chandler had
said that if MacPhail and other
club executives wanted to attend
races that was their business Tex
cept where it becomes detrimen-
tai to baseball" His race attend
ance comment, he added, was lad
vice to ball players"
While Chandler and MacPhail
were together they learned from
the War Department and Selective
Service that instructions have gone
out to local draft boards putting
into effect the Arny's recent rev.
ocation of special regulations at
fecting induction Of professional
athletes.
The War Department recently
investigated allegations Of discrim-
ination against legitimate At pro-
fessional athletes. Subsequently it
was announced that regulations
calling for review of cases in
which athletes are rejected for
service were rescinded.
We've reached a point where
we're scraping the bottom of the
barrel pretty hard and the loss by
each team Of four o. five more
players would hit baseball hard
because requirements have been
used up" MacPhail pointed out.

WEST POINT, N. Y, May 10
R-Navy not only expects to re-
tain its outdoor IC-4A track and
field title tomorrow but hopes to
establish a record scoring total
in doing SO.
The Midshipmen hammered to-
gether 81 points in winning the
crown a year ago.
This time Earl Thomson, veter-
an Middle coach is quoted as say
ing that 1--WE may not beat 80 points

Army, host to the nations old

also will compete.
Thomson said that Hugh Nc

potential sprint point winners, had
been left at Annapolis because Of
colds and that Jim Petit, defend
ing champion in the 22O-yard dash,
might not run in the dashes al

added that this document leaves
the door open for attainment of in
dependence.
Failure of Russia to take stand
on another issue-a plan for let
ting the Pan-American mutual de.
tense system operate within the
framework of the world organiza-
tion-was stirring up a double
dose of trouble for the conference.
Nine influential Latin American
statesmen decided to try to stall
off action on a formula that would
give the Big Five power to veto
forcible measures to prevent war
until they learn the Soviet view
on regional defense.
Andrei Fro1nyko, chief Soviet
delegate, saw Stettinius late today
but brought no word from Moscow
on regional arrangements.
Colombia definitely is talking
about keeping her fingers crossed
when she puts her name on the
line. There is chance Canada
and some others also may sign up,
and announce at the same time
there are charter provisions they
don't like and won't accept.
Colombia is concerned over ade-
quate recognition Of an inter-
American peace-keeping system.
Canada is fighting for guarantees
that she won't have to supply arm
ed forces to stop war, without at
least having say in whether force
should be used.
If such issues are threshed out
satisfactorily in conference COM
mittees, the reasons for reserva-
tons nights be removed.
"A dozen committees waded
through a stack Of charter amend
nents today as they have been
doing for nearly two weeks. Some
