 New York, Jan. 7--L. s. (Lawsuit settled) MacPhail, president of the New York Yankees, will beam or the faithful in his swanky press suite today and then proceed to pull Manager Joe Mccarthy out of a hat.
 L. s. Cline Snafued) MacPhail will have to do 1t that way. Because that's the only place newsmen haven't looked for Marse Joe as the front office kept him incom- municado during the past three days, waiting for 8 condeScending Monday press conference at which Spring training plans will be an- nounced.
 L. s. OLittle Swearword) couldn't, for instance, have the outspoken Buffalo Irishman telling newspaper men that he wanted either Red Rolfe or Bill Dickey as a coach, and then have Larry announce that Freddie Fitzsimmons was the man. MacPhail had just paid $50 tab for failing to get 8 long distance call through; roarin ginto the tele- phone exchange at Bel Air, Md; using 8 few mild cuss words, and showing the manager on the sioul- der with careless aim that might have slipped little and struck the mans face"
 Mccarthy Karin to Go
 L. s. Light Shovel had just about got out from under that one when Mccarthy blew into town. Ard MacPhail showed that he really hasn't got that old Brooklyn stam- ina which allowed him to take on all corners with no holds barred when he was the terrior of Flat bush. The Yankees, and base of operations on Fifth Avenue, have softened him up.

Despite all this talk Of peace and good will, there are plenty of sparks whenever Mac and the Mick get together. Regardless of those forced smiles and arn-in- arm poses, they simply are carrying out a mutually beneficial arrange ment. MacPhail knows that Mc- Carthy didn't, despite outside asser- tions. win eight pennants by push ing buttons. And Joseph Vincent knows that jobs which pay in the vicinity of $40,OO0 per annum are not to be thrown away because the boss is not a blood brother temper. amentally
 But L. S. Luckless Strike) took care while recuperating that Mo- Carthy would not spoil his Monday coffee and cheesecake session, where the pompous president sits urbanely on a table looking down at the assembled scribes and parcels out millions of dollars worth of pub licity for the Yankees. It was fixed so that no enterprising newspaper man would get one word from Marse Joe.
 Believed in Conference
 L. s. Getoff Slightly was said for three days to be 'in confer ence." Various handy men around the Glittering Yankee offices, usual- ly only too glad to get a column or a paragraph for the men of erst- while murderer's row, clammed up with all efficiency of safety vault Imagine, publicity men didn't even know where Manager Mccarthy was staying the third day he was in town. The hotel situation is awful They didn't even know, they said from where their next publicity was coming.
 But L. s. flowing Subscribed Mac Phail took care of all that. Not in person, understand, but with a neat little notice pinned to the bulle- tin board advising a breathless world that he would be available for a press conference today.
