LAMENTS AND COMMENTS
ON ALL SPORTING EVENTS
(Early Baseball Experiences of "Wild Bill" Donovan in the
"Neck" Lajoic Sure to Be Big Drawing
Card for Mack's Athletics.
To Napoleon Iiajolo
-Tiey'Vo hnd you cracking beneath the
strain
For many a year and more,
Tjiey'vo put you Into the has-been class,
And raroled your dlrgo galoro;
They'vo said that tho years at a. headlong
pace
Had put you down to tho mat,
And you have given the laugh to all
By the crack ot your swinging hat
They've tolled tho knell of your starring
davs
In many an expert's talo;
They'vo had you starting, with broken
heart
To travel the bush league trail:
But you have stuck to tho major pace,
Old boy you've stood tho gaff,
Qo do It again with tho Mack machine
And give them ngnln tho laugh.
Tarrurlng Larry Lajole. What othor
namo Is thero In all the wide realm of
baseball to conjuio with llko tills? Hans
Wagner has dono somo delivering In tho
years ho has been leaning against tho
lioi'sehlde; moro than Lajole, somo
critics think, but tho big Dutchman novcr
has been ns much of a popular Idol as
Lajole. savo In his own homo town'.
Larry with tho White Elephants will sot
the bleacherltcs dippy with enthusiasm.
A Suggestion Gratis
Thero Is no truth In tho rumor that the
Phillies will play their homo games at
New York this year, nor, to be accurate,
is there such a rumor. President Baker,
who comes from New York onco In a
whllo to do somo long-dlstnnco telephon
ing to Now York, Isn't going to risk bo
Ing accused of favoritism against his
manager. Moron might Insist that tho
home game bo played In Now England,
whero he comes from, and later on somo
bushcr from Kalamazoo or Camden might
put In a cldm for his homo town.
If tho eight big teams ot cither or both
major leagues wero merged Into a cor
poration It might provo rather difficult to
keep Interest In tho game alive. Out
side ownership Is not quite as bad as
such a plan would be, -and, on tho other
hand. It Isn't the best thing In tho world
for tho game, Thero Is no charge to tho
i magnates for this tip. Nor do they havo
to act on It.
A Good Gome, Withal
Not that any one has started a move
ment to popularize squash racquets, but
If over tho promoters of tho gamo feel
the need of n larger gate It might bo n
good Idea to get another name. Tho
present one sounds llko the description
of a brick dropped Into a basket of eggs.
He Is an athlete, bold and bra c.
An expert at tho game, b'go9h;
He loves It so he Is a slave,
To squash.
By "Way of Sad Eeproach
Kddlo Collins has wiltten a friend he's
glad to got away from Philadelphia. La
jole was more grateful. Ho said he hated
to tcavo Cleveland.
Oh.Edward, since they changed your roost
And sent you to the Windy Town,
Why couldn't you emit a boost
" For us, your flashy work to crown?
Why did you throw tho Quaker down,
Thoughhls opplauBe may have been lame,
At least ho did the thing up brown,
Regarding kale, and gave you fame.
OH! BUT BILL WAS WILD
Read here of "Wild Bill" Donovan,
Who years ago went hence,
TVIth speed so great, his friends relate,
It used to smash tho fence.
Apropos of tho Detroit scribe'? lament
over tho loss of "Wild Bill" Donovan to
Tlgcrtown, we want to cxpicss tho grief
of a "Ncoker," who, as a child, remem
bers the sand lot days of our "Bill." Wo
have always regretted that he was never
a member of a club of tho Quaker pity.
Long In our memories will linger the
picture of "Wild Bill," tho hero of a
hundred hard-fought struggles on tho lots
of far downtown known as the "Neck."
As a- boy we stood In open-mouthed awo
and watched him pitch. His tremendous
speed made opposing batsmen tremble.
"Wild Bill" knew that ho was wild,
and he made r. commendable effort to
overcome It. Thero was a Negro ceme
tery at 19th and McKean streets, on the
fenco of which "Bill" Btrovo to overcome
his erratic propensities, much to the dis
gust of the sexton, who woa "Bill's." Ira
placable enemy.
"Bill" would draw a clrclo with a
diameter of about six Inches on one of
tho boards of tho cemetery fence and then
step back to tho regulation pitching dis
tance. Like a shot from a rifle tho ball
would speed for the target. After "BUI"
KOt warmed up rarely would he miss It.
But a faw well directed shots with his
projectile-like speed soon tore the board
from Its moorings and "Bill" would move
to another bourd. He mado tho ceme
tery fence look like a Belgian village
after a bombardment. Tho sexton of the
cemetery refused to recognize "Bill's"
budding genius and chased him over the
lots hurling bricks, verbal and other
wise. ... ,
Why Not TrusthusteraP
Maybe within the next fortnight the
Federal League will bo dubbed the Trust
busters. Charges that will be "astounding and
surprising" will be made against Jimmy
Gllmore's Federal League. This Is the
new angle to tho suit now Instigated by
tho Feds against the National Baseball
Commission It Is somewhat llko tho
you-hlt-my-dog-I'll-hlt-your-cat stunt.

Hats Off to Norrlstowners
Wo havo to doff pur hats to the Norrls
town High School's publicity committee.
A, lettered postal card calling attention
to the school's work to data gives an
up-to-the-mtmito tabulation. Incidentally
It might bo remarked tho boys have made
an enviable record. Not a loss In five
games and piled up scores Indlcato tho
strength of the squad.
:i! :::
Can You Beat ItP
One of tho queerest paradoxes noted In
tho sporting realm has recently been
brought boforo tho public In the ranking
of tho tennis players of America. The
minority of experts think that tho com
mtttco wns wrong In selecting McLough-
lin for first placo when ho was defeated
at Newport for the national tltlo uy .
Norrls Williams. Somo of these samo
Individuals havo stated that McLaughlin
was tho greatest player In tho world,
yet they come forward now and state lhat
while "Mac" Is tho best on tho globe,
Williams Is tho best In America,
::: :::
Larry a Great Card
Larry Lajolo Is ono of tho most popular
men In baseball, both as an Individual
and as a player. As a drawing card ho
Is probably the most valunblo man In tho
gamo with tho exception of Ty Cobb.
While tho Athletics of 1915 will bo weak
ened by tho loss of Eddie Collins, local
fans tiro suro to flock' to Shlbe Park In
for greater numbers to seo Larry than
they did to seo Eddlo or would to watch
tho performanco of any other player.
This Is n benefit not only to tho manage
ment of tho Athletics, but to tho. public.
If the season Is a success financially,
Connlo Mack will employ better talent
If he needs It. If tho season Is not a
success, ns was tho case In 1911, ho will
probably let other members of his stellar
squad go to other clubs. The loss of
Collins, Plank, Bender and Coombs was
simply tho result of lack of Interest by
Philadelphia fans, which In tho final
analysis meant financial failure. Lajole
has always been popular In Philadelphia.
and as a member of tho Athletics for tho
second tlmo ho will bo moro so. Tho
gamo hero will be vastly benefited by his
presence.
Federal Hands Still Unclean
The effort of the Federal Leaguoto break
up organized baseball will bo as futllo
as In tho past. Tho league Is dragging
organized baseball Into the courts to gain
recognition and ultimately be taken Into
the fold of organized baseball Itself, It Is
believed. That has been tho plan of tho
Federal League magnates from the first
They have always wanted to bo ranked
along with tho American and National
League as a third major league, organ
ized and bo under tho control of tho na
tional agreement. However, their ef
forts In tho past havo been unsuccess
ful. They aro now attempting to forco
their way by the assistance of the courts
through barriers against which their
power alone wns unavailing. That or
ganized baseball will stand an Investiga
tion, a fact denied by Federal League
magnates, was shown when an attempt
was mado somo time ago to havo tho
game delved Into by a congressional com
mittee That committee saw, after a pre
liminary Investigation, that the laws of
organized baseball did not conflict with
the Sherman nntl-trust laws and the mat
ter was, therefore, dropped by thoso who
sought to kill Amorlca's national game.
Tho Federal League cannot hope to win
Its case through tho medium of the courts
because they have already tried Individ
ual cases and In the cose of KUlefer they
wero told that they' were in court with
unclean hands. They are still unclean
and, therefore, there Isn't a chance to
accomplish tho downfall of organized
baseball without dragging their own
skeleton out of the closet.
One Local Deal Open
As far as the eyo can reach only one
moro local baseball deal Is left for con
summationthe disposal of Charley
Dooln. When Dooln Is traded or sold and
tho Phillies get the money, players or
both for their one-time manager, both
tho Athletics and Philadelphia club will
be prepared to go South. The Athletics
have practically tho samo regulars that
they had last season except that Lajolo
will be used Instead of Collins at Second
base. Tho rc&t of the Infield remains in
tact, with Baker,. Barry and Mclnnls oc
cupying their regular positions. Tho out
Held Is unchanged, Oldrlng, Strunk and
Kddlo Murphy playing tho positions regu
larly, with Walsh, Thompson and Davles
doing utility work. Bill I'gpf will be the
first utility lnflelder and Lapp and Schang
will again bear tho catcher's burden.
There will be some additions to tho pitch
ing staff, but they will likely be young
sters. That leaves Bush, Shawkey,
Bressler, Wyckoft and Pennock to do tho
bulk of the worlc.
Many changes will bo made in the
Phllly line-up. Magee wilt no longer
cavort In tho outfield. That territory
will be taken care of by Becker, Poskert
and Cravath. Bobby Byrne and Fred
Luderus are fixtures at third and first,
respectively. The shortstop and second,
base stations will be the scene of hot
fights between Heed, Irelan and Bancroft.
ICillefer und Bums will do most of the
catching, while thopltchlng again will
bo performed by Alexander, Blxey, Tin
cup, Mayer, Marshall, Baumgartner and
Oeschger.
