Leo Durocher at Brooklyn. Mac Phail has liked his baseball rough and tough while Mccarthy and Bar row have gone in for what the game knows as gentleman baseball" If MacPhail comes around to that, 1t would be quite . change from his Flatbush days.
 There wasn't any chnage evident yesterday when MacPhail am nounced the purchase for he called the baseball writers together at . night club-Club 21-and had the scotch and soda flowing a fsreely as it eer did in the drinking room he built for the press at EbbetS field.
 Club History
 The Yankees, since they entered the American League in 1903, have won IA pennants-more than any other club-and nine world cham pionshis, finishing in the second division only Il times in all those years.
 EAlOCl 4buNAA JA4 4CAAdoCB O1LC I dhA@ ees soon became the biggest draw ing club in the maors and they rev. olutionized the game so far as play- CTS salaries were concerned. At the height of his career, Ruth drew $80,000 year. He was only one of long line of famous Yankees, in- cluding Miller HugginS, Bob Meusel, Bob Shawkey, Lou Gehrig, Bill Dickey, Joe DiMaggio, Joe Gordon. Red Ruffing, Lefty Gomez, Bullet Joe Bush and Earl Combs.
 The club was formed in 1908 with Joseph w. Gordon as president. He was succeeded by Frank F. Farrell, who with his associates, sold the holdings to Rupert and the late Col. Tillinghast Huston in 1915 for $450,- 900.
 Ruppert purchased his partners share of stock for $1 ,50O, 900 in 1923. Ruppert installed Huggins as man. ager and the Title mite" won six pennants and three world cham pionships before he died in Sept, 1929. Shawkey succeeded Huggins, and then Mccarthy took over the managership in 1881. Mccarthy has won eight pennants and six world championships.

SALE OF TANKS
 HAILED GOOD
 FOR BASEBALL
By LEO H. PETERSON Limited Presa Shorts Editorl

New York, Jan. 27-tUP)-Pur- chase of the New York Yankees by three-man syndicate headed by Col. Leland E. Garry) MacPhail was regarded in baseball circles to- day as another healthy sign that the game will operate in 1945.
 Although MacPhail himself said that the deal did not necessarily reflect optimism as to baseball's chances of surviving another war time season, it didn't apear logical that he would ask his associates to spend nearly $3,0O0,O0O for the most valuable franchise in the sport if he did not feel pretty strongly that the game will continue.
 And in that connection, it was pointed out that the fiery red-head, considered one of the most progress Sive of baseball executives, was in a good position to know how the ad- ministration felt about the sports continuance. For in his army posi- tion, he worked as a special aide to Undersecretary of war Robert Pat terSon and no doubt knows how that department stands on the question.
 Hopeful
 MacPhail would only say that he was hopeful we will operate" but, coming on top of the convictions ex- pressed earlier in the week by Clark Griffith of Washington and Branch Hickey of Brooklyn that the game would continue, it gave baseball men added hope
 MacPhail generally was non- com initial as to his plans for the Yank- ees of the future, but promised fur ther announcements as details are worked out with Barrow One point he was emphatic on-lightS for night baseball will not be installed at Yankee Stadium in the immed- fate future. Although he introduced night major league baseball at Cin- cinnati, MacPhail still holds to his pre-War theory that saven games season are enough for each club. Barrow long has been regarded as the leading oponent of night base ball.
 Another thing he was emphatic about was the status of Mccarthy who has won eight of the 14 Amer ican league pennantS and six of the nine world championships which have gone to the Yankees since 1921 when Ruppert bought Babe Ruth from the Boston Red Sox for $l25,- 900 and revolutionized the game.
 Likes Joe
 You don't spend half a lifetime looking for a guy like Mccarthy and then let him go," MacPhail said At the same tme, however, Nc Carthy, like Barrow is the conserva- tive type, and far cry from the type of manager MacPhail had in

 New York, Jan. 27 - tU.PD - It was no ashtray this time.
 Colonel Larry MacPhal, the ir- repressible redhead who tried to kidnap the Kaiser from Holland in 1919 and came back with the Kaiser's ashtray instead, had much better luck in his latest venture. He captured the most coveted prize in all sports the New York Yankees fabulous baseball realm - for which many of the nations wealthiest and shrewdest sportsmen have been ang- ling for the past six years.
 Dynamic Larry and his two asso- ciates completed the deal for an estimated $2,800,OO0 - a purchase which Millionaire Mike Jacobs des- cribes as the biggest bargain l ever heard of in any kind of bus ineSs." Jacobs was one of the un- successful who tried several times to secure the plum; but he was thumbed down by the late Commis- sioner Landis because of his boxing connections.
 Jacobs estimates that the value of this purchase will soar to $12,- 100000 or $15, 100000 in the sports boom that is certain to follow the war. The purchase included the huge Yankee Stadium The House That Ruth Built and other New York holdings, in addi- tion to the minor league empire that had Newark, N. J.; Kansas City; Binghamton, N. Y; and Norfolk. Va, as chief links. The Yankee owned Newark and Kansas City parks arc included; likewise title to anl estimated 400 ball players.
 Barrow Sells Out
 Not only did MacPhail obtain a tremendous bargain; but his nego. tiations were so designed that he became all-powerful ruler of the realm as president and general manager. He accomplished this des- bite the opposition oW 76-year- old Ed Barrow. the deposed Yankee president who had vowed that Mac Phail would come into the Yankee organization "only over my dead body Ancient Ed was still quite

PENSION FOR FIRST
HUMAN YELLOW fever
"GUINEA-pIG"

LONDON, Dec. % (ANP).-A
recent report on the progress of yell
low fever control in Africa tells a
story unusually dramatic for such a
document and one which shows that
government officials are not entire
ly without heart.
The report, by DR.. A. F. Mahaffy,
director of the Yellow Fever Re-
search Institute at Entebbe, Ugan-
da, tells how the doctor found last
year the African from whom the
first strain of yellow fever virus
was isolated Is years ago.
DIR. Mahaffy said that this man,
called Asibi, was in 1927 living at a
place called Kpeve in the Gold Coast
and that, after a specimen of his
blood had been taken, the "Asibi"
strain of virus became famous
throughout the scientific world. Un-
fortunately, says DR.. Mahaffy, the
man himself was lost sight of and it
was not until 1943 that his name
cropped up again it was decided to
find out what had happened to the
humble African to whom could be
traced the yellow fever vaccine
which has been used to immunize
millions of people.
The opportunity arose when DR..
Mahaffy visited West Africa last
year. He made detour on his drive
from Latos, Nigeria, to Accra in the
Gold Coast to the district where
Asibi had lived and the hunt began.
There turned out to be three places
called Kpeve but on arriving at the
first a man directed the party to
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-12-22

Asibi's house where the African at
once recognized DR.. Mahaffy and
gave him details of what had hap
pened II years before. DR.. Mahaffy
says that, unfortunately, Asibi was
not in good health, and arrange
ments were made for him to go to
hospital for treatment.
1t was explained to Asibi how
famous his name had become, but
the African remained unimpressed
and said, eff be famous man like
you say maybe you can give me
something for this sickness"
Asibi got more than medical
treatment, however, as the story
reached the governor who suggest
ed to the secretary of state for the
colonies that Asibi be given a pen
sion. The secretary of state agreed
and now Asibi gets sum Of money
each month.

made certain of his supply of oil fol-
fuel, WPB officials announced today
A considerable number of cases

ment may be made only under the
following provisions:
~ To replace oil burning equip
ment which is worn out, damaged be-
yond practical repair or destroyed.
~ To make any other installation
where the use of oil for that partic-
ular installation has been approved by
either the Petroleum Administration

depending on which
agency has Jurisdiction over the use
of fuel oil for the installation in
question.

SUGAR LIES
BY WAYNE c. WILLIAMS
OPA Regional Labor Director

Don't be fooled by the lies beinl
told about the sugar shortage. 0
course there is a sugar shortage. No
body ever claimed there isn't. Blu
IOPA did not cause this shortage.
does not control the growing of sugar
Neither does OPA allocate the sugar
to the Army, Lend-Lease, and other
demands.
LIE NO. is that OPA caused the
sugar shortage. There isn't a single
fact in the sugar picture to justify
that statement. The law prevents
lOPA from allocating the sugar There
is shortage of everything due to the
war.
LIE NO. 2 is that OPA has per-
mitted the government to ship sugar
to Spain which should be used in
American sugar bowls Here are the
facts. Long ago an agreement was
made between the United States gov
eminent that Spain should receive
from the WORLD POOL a certain
amount of sugar, in return for which
Spain was not to ship certain war
materials to Germany.
The sugar for Spain comes from
British sources and this sugar never
did belong to the United States. Re-
member these facts the next time
somebody tries to tell you a lie about
the Spanish sugar Moreover Spain
was to have 100000 tons under the
agreement and now is getting only
60,000 which will leave 10000 tons
more in the pool in which Americans
participate.
LIE NO. is that two million tons
of sugar had been earmarked for the
liberated areas. The OPA in Wash
ington announces that this is not
correct because this figure is more
than double the amount even being
considered for all the liberated areas
from all sources.
LIE NO. is that Cuba sold her
sugar elsewhere than the United |
States because OPA put the price too
low. The answer: Under the agree
ment between America and Cuba a
small quantity of sugar is left in Cuba
for domestic consumption or sale to
other countries, mostly Latin Amer
lean, at whatever price Cuba can get
for it. Aside from this small amount
gets all the rest of Cuban
sugar.
LIE NO. is that sugar is being
allocated for the manufacture of bev-
erage alcohol. The OPA in Washing
on announces this is absolutely
'alse." This official denial from the
)PA authorities from Washington is
open to the challenge of any person
n America who thinks he can prove
Remember, OPA is trying to pro-
ect your pocketbook from initiation.
)PA officials can have but one mo-
