Hap Chandler Gives Terms For Quitting
NEW YORK (P) — Albert B. (Happy) Chandler is finally ready to bid farewell to baseball—at his own terms.
The reluctant-to-leave baseball commissioner has promised to resign "soon" provided the major league clubowners accept a severance contract designed for his protection.
In agreeing to abdicate 11 months before the expiration of his seven-year contract, Chandler gave the owners the following ultimatum:
1. He is to be paid in full the balance of his $65,00 annual salary which does not expire until May 30, 1952.
2. He be indemnified against financial responsibility for any damages assessed against organized baseball during the remaining year his contract has to run.
3. He be relieved of all responsibilities such as expenses accrued by the commissioner's office for his ill-fated campaign to succeed himself.
Chandler said he was confident the owners would accept his proposal. He explained his insistence on severance clauses this way:
Full Schedule of Water Rescue, Saving, and Ballet Set for Summer
By STAN JONES
Safety in and out of the water and the ability to assist or rescue a person in danger of drowning are based fundamentally upon two things—knowledge and skill and neither one in itself is sufficient to meet the needs of the individual.
Anyone is interested first and foremost in the preservation of his own life. This is normal. The first concern of the individual is, or should be, to know where, when, how and under what conditions he will be safe. His second, to possess the skill to meet these conditions without danger to himself. Third, in case of accident, he wishes to know how to save his own life. When he has achieved these objectives he then is, or should be, interested in knowing how to save others.
Recreation, in and on the water, has ever been and always will be appealing and attractive to a multitude of people. Indulgence in any of its forms is recognized almost universally as being a happy, health-benefiting experience.
Water sports are among the most social of recreational activities. Few indeed are among sports in which so can engage simultaneously the same place regardless of ability or relationships. Wit it be in family, group, or even the keenest enjoyment of sports is to be found most likely in the company of others.
The one dark note in otherwise bright and stimulating picture is seen in the number of people who lost lives by drowning (7500 a year on an average during the several years) and in the thousands who experience "near drowning," but manage survive. It is not surprising however, that these facts do no effect in diminishing the number of those who seek reation in and on the water.
Knowledge and skill—these things which tend to make danger. Skill in aquatic acquired through instruction practice. Knowledge is gained means of instruction and exercise. There is no end to acquirement of either and a son is reasonably safe in the ter in exact proportion to amount of each he possesses.
Boys and girls who have rued the age of 12 and are not than 16 years are eligible to life saving instruction and carry for Junior Life Saving cates, provided they are in such physical condition and have physical handicaps that render them unable to per-

Twenty-seven thousand, one hundred tons of fighting steel! But this aircraft carrier is only a lightweight compared to some of the towering dreadnaughts that make the U.S. Navy the mightiest in the world. Your navy is in there slugging every minute, doing its job to defend you and all of the things you hold dear.
Boys and girls who have reached the age of 12 and are not than 16 years are eligible to life saving instruction and qualify for Junior Life Saving courses, provided they are in physical condition and have physical handicaps that render them unable to perform any of the required skills. Qualify for Senior certification men and women are eligible to pass their 17th birthday and can meet the same physical qualifications as the juniors.
Life saving and rescue will begin in the local high school pool starting June and continue until August. Anyone who can swim is eligible to enter into the class that will start every morning except Sunday at 8:30. Class will run until 3 p.m. and on Tuesdays and Thursdays we continue till 6:30 for the working folks.
Intermediate class swimming will be in classes from the opening period until 11:30 in the morning when the popular ballet and pattern swimming institution will take over the place. At 12:30 the advanced swimmer will come in to take their sons.
Teaching the Red Cross sons will be Dick Glover and assistants Gretchen, his daughter, and Jerry Schmitz. M. Glover will also lead the institution in the water ballet and pattern swimming. Tom Hoag, left water ballet teacher, will be hand evenings for two hours. Lessons for all types (life save, water ballet, rescue) will cost three dollars for the six weeks or one dollar each week. Registration will take place from June 25 on through till the first weeks of the lessons.
The Red Cross is just proud of its water safety service. It has established an educational system that has proved its worth many times over. It is proud of its corps of volunteer workers, a small army in itself, and of the excellent work they have done.
Big, isn't she?
Twenty-seven thousand, one hundred tons of fighting steel! But this aircraft carrier is only a lightweight compared to some of the towering dreadnaughts that make the U.S. Navy the mightiest in the world. Your navy is in there slugging every minute, doing its job to defend you and all of the things you hold dear.
But remember, defense is your job, too! And one of the best ways to do your job is to buy U.S. Defense Bonds. You'll be helping your country and at the same time you'll be making the soundest investment on earth today. For U.S. Defense Bonds are as safe as America!
The U.S. Defense Bonds you buy give you personal financial independence
Remember that when you're buying Defense Bonds you're building a personal reserve of cash savings. Money that will some day buy you a house, or educate your children, or support you when you retire. Remember, too, that if you don't save regularly, you don't save at all.
So go to your company's pay office—now—and sign up for regular Defense Bond purchases through the Payroll Savings Plan. In this plan, you may save as little as $1.25—or as much as you want—each week. If you can save just $7.50 weekly, in ten years you'll have bonds worth $4,329.02 cash! You'll be helping protect America—and helping your dreams come true.

College Accepts Teeter Record With Caution
STOCKTON (AP) — Remember when you were small . . . and found a hop-toad in the woods . . . and rushed home and handed it to mother with that real-pleased-inside feeling?
And mother s-h-r-i-e-k-e-d a startled "E-e-e-e-e." And her face got chalk-white?
Then you know just how a couple of grownup boys, Jim Lane, 22, of Oakland, and Duane Weaver, 21, of Auburn, feel.
College of Pacific celebrated its 100th anniversary this week.
Jim and Duane thought they’d do something nice for mother college. Something special. They handed her the world teeter-tottering record—100 hours of steady bouncing . . . one hour for each of her years.
But COP, just like a startled mother, let out a loud s-h-r-i-e-k-e.
Edward Betz, dean of men, summoned Jim and Duane. Monday, while the boys were setting their record, they should have been taking final examinations.
However, like a fond mother, Dean Betz was understanding, after a little heart-to-heart talk. He let them take makeup exams yesterday.
And, Betz confided, he was inwardly pleased with their gift . . . but cautioned with motherly advice:
"DON’T DO IT AGAIN."

Managers (And Pitchers) Get Gray Hairs Over Those Walks
By The Associated Press
Walk a man and he'll beat you, as Bob Feller once said, and right-hander Frank Nelson of the Sacramento Solons has absorbed this wisdom the hard way.
With one out in the 11th inning, Nelson walked a man with the bases loaded in the Pacific Coast league headliner at San Diego last night, thereby causing a 3-2 Padre victory and a restless right for Frank Nelson.
Only the fact that the other first division teams also suffered defeats kept the Solons from losing ground. They're still on top by a half game.
Portland broke a scoreless tie by collecting six unearned runs in the seventh inning and beating the second place Seattle Rainiers, 8-3, while Los Angeles moved into a three-way tie for fourth with a 6-3 win over Oakland.
Lowly San Francisco ran its winning streak to four straight by taking up a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning, and hanging on for a 4-3 conquest over the third place Hollywood Stars.
Thus the unhappiest man of the night was the aforementioned Mr. Nelson, who, incidentally, is a truck driver in the off season. Nelson came on in relief in the ninth inning and wheeled along fairly well until the 11th. His mates sent him into the bottom half with a 2-1 lead.
Nelson delivered a home run ball to pinch hitter Whitey Wielman to tie the score. Then he filled the bases with a single, a sacrifice, a base on balls and another single. Jim Tabor stepped up to the plate. Nelson pitched him four straight balls to throw away the ballgame.
Charlie Schanz was the victim of Portland's six run inning, featuring a two-run homer by Beaver Pitcher Lyman Linde.

White Sox Waiver Waifs Are Making Faces Red in League
(By The Associated Press)
Lou Kretlow, Harry Dorish, Randy Gumpert and Kenny Holcobe—Chicago's waiver waifs—are making faces red all around the American League.
Kretlow, who is he? That probably was the man-in-the-street reaction to yesterday's story on the blazing White Sox. Still a club—the Detroit Tigers—once thought enough of Lou to pay him a $35,000 bonus to sign off the ENID (Okla) Army Air Force team.
You could have had Kretlow for as low as $10,000 a year ago. In fact, two clubs did have him for just that. First the St. Louis Browns and then the White Sox. He hadn't won a game since July 7, 1949. Things were so rough Lou considered chucking it all for a career as a pro golfer.
1950: 0-2
Kretlow's 1950 record of 0-2 hardly stamped him as a man who would boost the White Sox' league lead to 4½ games. But Manager Paul Richards seems to have a way with pitchers.
After yesterday's neat four-hitter against Washington for a 4-2 win, both the Tigers and Brownies would be glad to welcome him back.
Dorish, efficient reliever in nine games when Chicago pitchers needed help, made the rounds before he hit Comiskey Park. He's been bouncing up and down from minors to majors with Boston, St. Louis and Chicago since 1947.
Then there's Gumpert—unbeaten at 4-0. The Athletics had him end loss behind Kretlow's strong pitching. Lou mowed down last 10 men in order to close out his first complete game. He drove in the winning run in a two-run fourth.

ROFUSARI
WARK, N. J., (AP) — Tony and Charlie Fusari battle it in a 10-round welter-bout at Ruppert stadium won't be televised or broadcaster promoters say they have no in the till in advance sales.
Dorish, efficient reliever in nine games when Chicago pitchers needed help, made the rounds before he hit Comiskey Park. He's been bouncing up and down from minors to majors with Boston, St. Louis and Chicago since 1947.
Then there's Gumpert—unbeaten at 4-0. The Athletics had him first—way back in 1936-37-38. They let him get away to the Yankee chain. New York found Randy useful in 1946 and 1947. But in July 1948 off he went to the White Sox—at the waiver price.
Holcombe didn't stick long enough for waivers with most of the clubs. But at various times, between trips to the minors, he belonged to the Yankees, Cincinnati and White Sox.
With a staggering 10-out-of-21 pace, the Sox are gradually pulling away from the pack while the Yanks and Red Sox fizzle. They handed Connie Marrero his second place.
