Larry S. MacPhail, vice president and general manager of the Cincinnati Reds, goes in for baseball farming in a big way. He has connections at Toronto, Fort Worth and many other points, enabling him to nurse young players along from their teens up through the minor leagues until they have developed into big leaguers. Larry used to be a football referee but now his baseball duties take all his time and attention. Trains and automobiles are too slow for him so he flies on most of his journeys, which take him from coast to coast and from Texas and Florida to Canada.
