If these teams take up where their 1941 Series left off, there will jbe a few red faces. Probably the reddest will be that of Albert B. (Happy) Chandler, baseball's $50,000 a year commissioner. In Brooklyn, where fans talk and eat baseball, Chandler has two strikes on him. These two strikes are Durocher and Owen. Brooklyn fans never forget. When Owen jumped to the Mexi- can League in the spring of 1946 Chandler suspended the popular catcher and other jumpers for five years. And one week before the current season opened Chandler suspended Durocher for one year for “conduct detrimental to baseball.” Happy’s life will be anything but happy when he sets foot in- side Ebbets Field if this nickel series materializes. He will be caught between the barbs of the Brook-. lyn and Yankee followers, h Sik hendiich Ese 7 2 s were. fa : ave ie eadaches.
