It would come from Joseph Vincent McCarthy, mystified manager, suggesting t hat Ellery Queen, Sherlock Holiinee and Nick Carter be dispatched past haste to hie assistance. iMarse Joe. one of the game’s most capable pilots, never has had to appeal to the front office in this fashion before. The Buffalo Irishman has handled team problems in His own masterly style. But now he is baffled admittedly by “The Case of the Missing Men.” And stogie-lSmoking Joe is ready to yell for help.

we learn that 15 of McCarthy'a men are mysteriously missing <ls players who include most of the chub's class. And the first exhibition game against the Red Sox is only two weeks away. iMaree Joe has 17 uniformed s fellers at hie workout; but these (■ practice seesiohs don't mean much f without the presence of key men 1 whom he'll need on opening day t when the third-place Yanks open their drive to re-capture the Am--1 eriean League pennant for their 1 now owners. Worst of all, McCarthy doesn’t even know if some of hi? a'teentets intend to play ball this season. He doesn’t know whether they are holdouts, or whether they have draft problems or war plant I difficulties. j The absentees include such stalwarts as pitchers Hank Borowy, Ernie Bonham and Bill Zuber; first baseman Nick Etten; Shortstops Frank Crosetti and Mike Milo.scvich; second baseman Snuffy Stirnweiss; outfielders Russ Derby and Johnny Lindell; and catchers Mike Garibark and Bill Drescher. Garbark and Drescher have signed but havenot indicated that they will show up for training. (McCarthy planned to phone the New York offices today and set the wheels working to bring in his missing men. He wants to know just whom he will have available. Os the 17 men training at Atlantic City, nine are pitchers; three , infielders and two catchers.

Windsor Resigns As Governor Os Bahamas King Studies New i Post For Brother (London, March 16—(UP)—King ’ George VI was reported today to he • pondering a new post for hie eldest brother and predecessor on the throne, the Duke of Wineor. (Windsor’s resignation ae governor and commander of chief of the Bahamas, effective April 30, Was announced by the colonial office last night. William L. Murphy, colonial secretary at Bermuda, wae nam d to succeed him. The Duke and Duchess were expect d to take a long vacation in the United States and may go to France where they have several residences. Windsor expressed a wish to continue serving the empire. It was understood that Windsor resigned primarily because the | I semi-tropical climate affected the | Duchess’ health. A Nassau dispatch said his resignation came as no surprise since his five-year term as governor would have expired iu August. Windsor approached the King several months ago with a proposal that he resign in early spring, informed sources said. The King signed the papers authorizing the resignation a day or two ago. The London Daily Mirror, however, bluntly called the resignation a “surprise” and published a New York dispatch quo-ting a “close friend of the Duke” as saying Windsor thought he “could do a better job in Canada.” “(But the Canadians would not . stand for it, presumably because of bad feeling over the abdication and . the Duchess’ divorce as Mrs. Simp- . son,” the dispatch said. 0 , Liberated Soldiers i Reach West Coast '
