Fabulous MacPhail Quits
Yankees For 600

Association. In 1884 he. became
president of the Cincinnati Reds
and after three years there went
to Brooklyn as head of the bod
gers. During his five-year reign
at the Dodger helm, the Brooks
won the National League pen
nant in the 1941 season.
MacPhail, a veteran of the first
World War and a key figure in
a plot to kidnap Kaiser Wilhelm
after the wars end, re-entered
the Army in 1912 as a Colonel
and served for two years as an
Assistant to the Undersecretary
of War.
Asked whether Bucky Harris
would continue as manager, Top
ping and Weiss said simultane-
ously that the man who led the
Yanks to a World Series cham
pionship in his first shot at the
job was given a two-year con-
tract by MacPhail when he took
over and still has a year to 60
under that agreement.
Topping said that the three
equal shareholders in the club
had agreed on the stock purchas-
ed deal before the series and
shortly after a Wall Street COM
bination had offered to buy so
per cent of the stock for $3,000,-
900.
Both Topping and Webb said
they didn't want to sell any
shares. Topping said that Mac
Phail had wanted to 60 ahead and
sell and that was what brought
on their purchase of MacPhails
stock.
Under questioning by report
ers, Webb and Topping said that
the three had an agreement
under which none could sell his
portion of the stock to an out
slider. Therefore when MacPhail
indicated he wanted to sell, Top
ping and Webb decided to buy
him out.
In selling, MacPhail received
the highest price possible for
his stock $1,000 900 Topping
declared, although both he and
Webb indicated that they might
have been able to force a pur-
| chase for less money.
