 TO HAVE AN ASSISTANT
By WALTER BEERS United Press Sports Writer)

Chicago, Nov. 1.-(UP)- jor league club owners, faced with an oversupply of players after four lean war years, showed little interest in the annual player draft today and the meeting promised to develop into a series of behind-the-door sessions.
 Commissioner <. B. (Happy) Chandler, who officially resigned to- day as Kentucky senator to devote full time to his baseball job, had one definite meeting scheduled and a couple of others tentatively on tap.
 Following the draft meeting, in which the big league owners culled some 5,434 minor leaguers for likely prospects, Chandler was scheduled to gather with the major leaeSlo promotion committee to plan %s- tribution of a $50,00O fund, designed to promote baseball throughout the nation.
 A new special assistant" to Chan dler was also expected to be dis cussed today. Leslie D'Connor, pres ent assistant to the commissioner FdCdOCo G1lC JOoO 1CS. 1O UO USCOILlG general manager of the White Sox.
 "A competent baseball man" is to be named to the job, according to tn minutes of an earlier meeting, and the selection may be made to- day. Chandler is empowered to choose the man, subject to approval of Presidents Ford Prick of the Ma tional league, William Harridge of the American league and member clubs.
 Three leading candidates report edly are General Manager John Quinn of the Boston Braves, Coach Harold (Muddy) Ruel of the White Sox and President George Trautman of the American Association.
 With all the major league leaders gathered, several other problems are bound to be thrashed out, including the agenda for the big leagues joint meeting here Dec. 12.
 The Dec. 12 meeting will present numerous problems. such as absorp- tion of returning servicemen, clarifi- cation of the major-minor league agreement and mapping of spring training schedules, which will dip into the south and out to the west coast after wartime lapse.
