CHANDLER AND COAST LEAGUE NEW PROBLEM
By CARL LUNDQUIsT United Press Sports Writerl

Columbus, O., Dec. 8-(UP)-BaSe 0hll leaders from the front offices and the playing fields headed fol Chicago today for next weeks major league meeting, with betting about even on whether Commissioner A. B Chandler will be snorn of his power and the Pacific Coast League ele. vated to major status.
 The minor leagues, in their meet ing concluded yesterday, passed 2 resolution which would make Chand. Ter little more than figurehead by removing his power of veto over ac- tions he considered detrimental tc baseball"
 However, there was an unexpected wave of reaction after passage, anc severe criticism byb Judge w. G Bramham, president of the Minor Leagues, Acting President Frank Lawrence of the Piedmont League and several club owners may cause the Major Leagues to veto the reso- lution. It cannot become effective without Major League approval.
 Chandler has the American peo- pie behind him." Lawrence said "and he won't take this knifing from baseball executives lying down. ] think the action will backfire against the owners"
 Chandler has the support of sev- eral Major League clubs, and clubs which originally intended to oppose him may change their minds.
 The Pacific Coast Leagues bid fo1 1 for big-league status won unex- pected support from the minor Leagues. The Minors said the PCL would be welcomed back" if the Majors deny the request.
 Three Major League clubs have promised to support the Westerners attempt to move upward in classi- fication.
 The majors also must decide ii they will prohibit payment of bon uses in signing players. The Minors outlawed the practice at their final session.
 Little more active trading was ex- pected at Chicago than occurred here, since it was believed that most big transactions would be delayed until after the first of the year and the effectuation of lower tax sched- uleS.

TODAY'S SPORT PARADE

New York, Dec. 5.-UP)-Hot from the feedbox comes the winner oI the 1s46 Kentucky Derby-Count Speed. 8 full brother of the 1943 winner of the run for the roses. Count Fleet.
 Understand, Count Speed is no Count Fleet. But Don Cameron. who sent the Fleet steaming home With Mat Winn's blanket of roses, says he would give all I've got to own the little brother"
 But, according to the balding and bespectacled Cameron. who looks something like an old-time Notre Dame fullback, little Speed" isn't too far behind his big brother. And, when Cameron of ters to put his personal fortune on the line, the little bay beauty must Ee quite 8 horse. Because Don's dollars run up into the higher brackets.
 Cameron isn't grinding his own axe when he touts the Fleets little brother, either For the widely known trainer recently severed con- nections with the John D. Hertz stable which owns Count Speed.
 Count Fleet Greatest
 Yet if you talk to Cameron five minutes you'll realize that, although lie won't come right out and say it, he believes Count Fleet was the greatest galloper ever to set noof Ct vi 1~ headed son of Reign Count-Quickly won 16 of 21 starts, never finishing out of the money, and as a three year old was unextended in scoring six out of six. That made him the only colt in turf history to win ali five of the big ones-the Derby, Preakness, Withers, Wood and Bel mont.
 He was honey" Cameron com- mented. Those early defeats came because he was green, but once in the groove nothing could touch him. He'd carry any weight, any distance and under any conditions. IL broke my heart when he suffered that leg injury in the Belmont Stakes and we had to send him back to the farm"
 Cameron also revealed that Count Fleet very nearly missed the Derby n 1943.
 "He was cut on the leg in winning the Wood and we were afraid of in- fection," Don said. "So we packed tine leg with sulfa and-although I didn't know 1t at the time-it dead- ened him. I called my doctor in California and he explained. So told Johnny Longden:

 Brassies Strong
 On paper" and after its first real test with USRubper when it won 8 SLAB decision last Tuesday; American Brass is figured by most fans as the club to beat for first round honors. Waterbury Tools exact ability is undetermined at this time; but with the addition of big Bill Sweeney, a 10-point contributor last time out, Tom Carmody's out fit may prove to be much better than rated at this time; though it will have its hands full withl the Brassies; unless the tough win in Naugatuck last night has taken too much out of them.
 Bristol and Mattatuck "B' teams figure to put on real interesting game, with another crowd of 400 to 750 fans expected by league of ficials. Ralph Santopietro will ref cree the first game; Frank Berardi and John Cluney teaming up for the last two contests.
