Mcdonald Has Touch
Job as Man Behind
Montreal Team
Secretary Of Dodgers
Hos No Manager and
Only Few Players
BY the Associated pr.sx

BY the Associated Press
= NEW YORK, Jan. John Nc
Donald, whose appointment as vice
president and general manager Of
the Montreal Royals was announced
today in Canada, said he expected to
remain in New York this winter
and direct the affairs OF the ROYALS
from the office of the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
"As it stands now" he explained,
we have no manager. We have only
a few players, and we don't know
where we're going to train. 50 ev-
erything has to be worked out with
Branch Hickey tpresident of the
Dodgers) and it can be done here
better than by my going to Mont
real right away"
Mcdonald said the Royals would
train with the Dodgers, wherever
they finally locate. All training
plans are at standstill now, how
ever, awaiting the joint meeting Of
the major leagues in Chicago Tues
day.
1t was believed here that Nc
Donald's successor as travelling sec
retary of the Dodgers would be Ed
Staples, former publicity director
OF the st. Louis Cardinals, whom
Hickey had present for all of Brook
lyn's organizational meetings when
the major leagues met a month ago.
Mcdonald served as travelling
secretary Of the Cincinnati Reds
when Larry MacPhail was general
manager Of that club and accom-
panied MacPhail here when the lat

Reds Talking Of Flag
With Miller Added
As Shortstopper
Think Player With Wife
And Two Kids Will Give
Them Strong InfieId
BY the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI hear them
talk about Shortstop Eddie Miller
around the front omce-and that's
about all they've got to talk about
you'd think Messrs. Nelson. Jeffers,
McNutt and Wickard had just
unanimously stamped "A-1-A" on
the l943 National League pennant
for the Cincinnati Reds.
General Manager Warren C. Giles,
Travelling Secretary Gabe Paul and
everybody else sits for hours scratch
ing over statistics like a flock Of
broody hens and about every five
minutes there's jubilee shout
"Looky-there's another game Mil
ler'll win for us!"
The way they figure it. Miller
is the than which, there -is-NO-
whicher of wartime baseball. He's
young (26), he hits pretty good GAO
or so), he fields the best of the
league, and boys, he's got a wife
and three kids! There are plenty
of fellows with the first three quail
fications, but SO per cent with the
latter are quite elderly as the IN
dustry goes.
The front ONCE figures the 1942
Cincinnati infield booted away 10
games, or enough to have won the
pennant. A good many of those
boots were around shortstop where
Eddie Joost held forth In addi-
ton, lot of things were scored
as hits when Miller could have
stopped them.
Gabe figures that Miller, Lonnie
Frey and Frank Mccormick are the
perfect double-play combination
and notes that the three of them
together made fewer errors last
year than Joost, who fumbled more
than 40 balls.

Piedmont Loop Likely
To Have Clubs Only
In Old Dominion
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND. Va. Jan. 2.-The
war is Matching up a new deal
in baseball for the Old Dominion
for 1943.
Just exactly what the change will
consist of or how new it will be
still probably won't be decided until
January 10 when the daddies of
the Piedmont League gather here
for their annual get-together.
One thing is definite, however,
Virginia baseball will feel the sting
of the war and the rationing of
gasoline and automobile tires and
the complications of travel.
It's just guess, but Virginia
baseball possibly will be limited to
the participa ton of four and maybe
five State teams in the class B
Piedmont League, which. due to the
uncertainty of travel is in the proc
ess of reformation.
There is a possibility also that
the spotlight of thes Piedmont cir
cult may be focused in 1943 on
Portsmouth, where Tony Lazzeri
the one-time great second baseman
of the New York Yankees, is the
pilot.

Callura's Manager ShelvedfOr Coaching
 In Title Contest

Boston, March 25 = CUP) - The manager and second for NBA Worlds Featherweight Champion Jackie Callura of Hamilton, Ont, were suspended by the Massachu- sets State Boxing Commission to- day for allegedly coaching him during his recent title\ bout with Jackie Wilson of Pittsburgh.
 Those suspended indefinitely were Manager Leo P. Bradley of Provi- dence, R. l., and Second Buck Herzog (Angelo Norcia) of Worces- ter.
 The commissions ruling was based on section No. 37 of the MasSachu- sets boxing rules which says that managers or seconds shall not coach or instruct their boxers by gesture or word of mouth during the progress of the rounds"
 Defled Warning
 According to the commission, the deputy commissioner assigned to Callura's corner during the title bout at Mechanics building a week ago, warned both Bradley and Herzog to desist from coaching their man.
 In direct defiance of the order and the rule, the commission said, both men continued to direct Cal- luda in his rought and tumble battle with the negro challenger from whom he wrested the crown at Providence, R. T., Jan. l9.
 It was because of this action, that the deputy commissioner recom- mended the suspension which was approved by the three boxing board.
 A third suspension involved Mid- dleweight Angelo J. (Jackie) Capo- ell of Boston who is barred from appearance in Massachusetts rings until he fulfllls e contract to meet Johnny (Deacon) Brown for the Boxton Boxing Association.
