Owens Expected To Replace Cronin
CHICAGO AP Lee MacPhail general manager of the New York Yankees is expected to succeed Joe Cronin as president of the American League. Cronin, 67, was named the league's fourth president in 1959 and has two years left on his term. MacPhail would gradually assume Cronin's duties over the two-year period. Cronin said no decision had been made on stepping down and noted his contract runs through 1975. MacPhail, former Orioles GM and son of Larry MacPhail, said rumors of his replacement have circulated for a long time and he would consider it if the job were open. He would not leave the Yankees for another club, though front-office changes could alter his status. Cronin's career included playing with Washington, managing the Senators to the pennant in 1938, selling to the Red Sox in 1947, and later serving as Red Sox GM and beyond.
