DONOVAN FEARS THE ATHLETICS
AND LONGS FOR OLDEN DAYS WHEN
TEAM AFFORDED ONLY EXERCISE
Manager of Yankees Says Connie's Club Is Dan
gerous and Likely to Beat Any of the Others.
fie Way Pans Baseball as He Leaves League
YES '" have changed In the last year," said Bill Donovan yesterday ns he
watched tho little raindrops splatter over the scenery and spoil the ball game.
"One year ngo when we visited this town we were Hut as nervous as a movie fan
going in to see his favorite' picture. We considered It more or lem of a. vacation
and beat the Athletics every day by way of exercise. If wo had hard luck In gnmoi
with the other clubs, we would look over the schedule and figure tho days until we
Wet Mack's team. Then we would feel better, for we knew wu would regain some
of the lost ground. Connie helped us considerably last season. Hut times base
changed. Yes, It's funny what a difference n few months make.
"Connie has a swell ball club now," continued Smiling Wlllyum as he gazed
out into the distance. "He handed us a couple of beautiful wallops right on our
own home grounds last week, and they came like blows In the dark. Wo felt ro
eure that wo would trim the Athletics that wo haven't yet recovered from the
hock. I can't Imagine how Mack whipped that gang into shape; but he has done
It, and tako it from me, he has ono of tho most dangerous clubs In the league. I
fear It more than any one else, and there ure six other managers Jn the American
League who feel the same as I. Kor yeurs I have admired Connie, and I nm
stronger than over now., His team will cause lots of trouble this year and I will
feel much better when this serlos Is over. Kalkenberg will help some, and with
the other pitchers in shape the A's uro In no dungcr of Hopping hack Into the
cllar."
PVONOVAN says his own club Is In good slmpe, nntl as soon us the players
'-'become acclimated they will forge to the front. Tho pitchers are f;oIng
good, Matsel Is playing second base In a satisfactory manner and the hitting
is bound to Improve. I,eo Magee, who has been hltlcss for more than a
week, has been benched until he recovcis his batting eye.
. Connie Mack Also Is Well Pleased With Showing of His Club
TTHEN Connie returned to town he wore that smile which has been missing
" since tho A's won the pennant In 1914. Ho is perfect! sutlslled with the young
gentlemen on his payroll and expects them to do even better work ns the ncason
progresses. Tho Infield problem has been solved by riiover and Hatea and Ping
Bodie is an important cog In tho outfield. Stuffy Mclnnls Is hitting again, no
things are pleasant all around. Stuffy has not missed his dully blngie this season
and his playing shows that he enjoys It. Connie had a few words to say about
his team and he orated as follows:
"We broke even on tho eastern trip and that Is quite satisfactory to me We
Went up Against three very strong clubs and faced the strongest pitchers In the
league. Washington has some good pitchers nnd you can't find many weak ones
with New York. The Boston, staff li exceptionally strong, yet we managed to hit
the ball and make things interesting for them. Personally, I cannot see where the
Red Sox are so much stronger than the Athletics The only difference that I could
see was that we didn't hit at tho proper time, while Boston tightened up when
danger threatened. We had the 'kick' against tho Yankees and Washington, how
ever, and won some ball' games. I am satisfied with the club, for It Is likely to
beat any of the other teams when they least expect It. There are some rough
spots to be smoothed out, but they will be eliminated In time.
"Falkenberg will be a great aid to the team nnd I will sturt him against New
York in the first game, He is in good shape, and in uddltiou to that he wants to
prove to the other clubs that ho Is not a has-been. Fred Is not yet ready to be put
on the shelf and I expect great things of him this year. Elmer Myers und Hulie
Bhauer are rounding Into form and will be ready to do tlfelr shaie of the work
when we play the western teams. The other players are In good condition."
WITH Falkenberg on the Job nnd Myers and Sliaucr ready to take their
turn In tho box, Cohnle has no cause for worry. Joe Bush, Noyes and
the two Johnsons Ellis and Jlng to say nothing of Harry Slebold, will
round out the hurling staff, and If the batters continue to wallop the ball
more games will be won than lost.
Mistake for College Men to Enter Baseball, Says "Pie" Way
"PIE" WAY, former football hero nnd star pitcher at Yale, has turned his back
on professional baseball. He was aided In this by Muggsy McGraw, who turned
him loose after a thorough tryout, but "Pie" cares nothing for that. After a brief
visit with the Ulants, a summer with Rochester and a return engagement with
New York, Way comes to the conclusion that as a ball player he was a nweli
business man nnd chose the latter course. Before he laid away his spangles to
Join the Bethlehem Steel Company forces he made the following speech, which
was printed In the New York Post:
"I don't want to be In the position of attacking baseball, that Is, professional
baseball," he said. "It Is none of my business, nnd I haven't amounted to enough
In the game to stand as n critic. But I can say that I found It a loss, so far as I
was concerned. I say this In spite of the fact that I could sign at least two Very
satisfactory contracts with good minor league club3, with the prospect, of course,
of working my way back to the big league. But I don't want It. Jack Coombs,
late of the Athletics, put it correctly when he said that a college man goes into the
big league with an education and comes out without one. Coombs is n college man
who has spent a number of ears In organized baseball, and he ought to know In
fact, I could wee It for myself. You have no great Incentive to read or keep up
with the times; there Is no bookish as-ioclatlon. Few of the big leaguers do any
worth-while reading, nnd association with them docs not tend to any amount nf
mental development. Of course, this does not apply to all, but I nm speaking of
the general run. They are all good fellows, to far as that goes, but I merely say
that the life they lead does not Incline to mental cultivation.
"Then you spend about nil the money you earn. It appears on the surface, of
course, that you can save n lot of money; I couldn't. There are tips at the hotels
and money to be dropped here and there ever' day until you find that you nre
living pretty much up to your income. And so, playing along, you run thiough
the prime of your youth and slow up. Then what have you got ahead of you?
That Is the way I figured It out. Of course, if a fellow can Jump Into fast company
nnd get $5000 or $6000 a year It will be all light, provided you know when to quit.
But you never do. Baseball gets a hold on you. Now, when I was with Yale 1
didn't feel the grip of baseball. In n city when the other fellows would go to a
big league park I would go to some show; that Is to say, I wasn't much of a fan. But
after several months In a regular organization I can see the difference; the game
gets Into you nnd you want to stick. So I quit before the thing got too firm a
grip on me. Of course, I'll keep up my baseball) Out In Bethlehem they have
teams at the plant a small league, I believe. I'll do some playing out there, but
tn the final analysis I'm for buslnesn, first, last and all the time."
THOSE are harsh words to sling nt our baseball heroes and It looks as
If "Pie" had the wrong dope In his swan song. It Is a knock at the
Giants when he pans them for their lack of literary tastes, and also a
rap at baseball In general. Perhaps It would have been different had Way
made good In the big league,
"Big Smoke" Is Well-Known Hero in Greatest Yarn of the War
JACK JOHNSON is in again. After taking It on the run out of England and
landing tn Spain, where he battled the elusive bull, the smudged ex-champion
of the universe sought fresh fields to conquer. Jack never has been a piker, and
when he starts out to do anything his stuff always goes big. A story appeared in
small western paper recently, recounting the lnte3t adventure. It Is a wonder
ful yarn, with a perfectly good climax at the finish where all perfectly good
climaxes shouldn't be. But the story Is too good to change, so we slip it to you
-as is":
"On Januaj-y IB Jack Johnson, tiring of the sluggish life In Spain and moved
by a patriotic desire to do Eomcthing, received his passports signed by King Qeorge
of England and left his home in Barcelona. He went by way of France and Enr.
land and arrived In Archangel on February 3. He then crossed into Rumania
where he secured signatures for his world's advertising corporation. Crossing
through Italy he embarked for the return Journey and was captured by an Aus
trian submarine. '
"This did not worry the ex-champion He had fought too many battles in his
career and against greater odds. Single-handed he subdued the Austrian captain
blew up the submarine and was rescued by a Spanish freighter after drifting
three daya in the Mediterranean. He then was landed safely at Barcelona."
AlIi we can say Is that Jack Is SOME traveler. Some day, if he ever
XJLgeta back to this country, he will have a chance to row across the
Delaware and visit Denver.

Philadelphia golfers entangled In tho nn-
nual rprlng tournament here are now
unanlmousl.v opposed to calling off Quaker
City events, and from all sides conic an
nouncements that Invitation tournaments of
various other districts adjacent and popu
lar with local golfers will be played on the
dates set before the war was declared.
Tho biiccesH of the Northllelif tournament
Is responsible for this sentiment In tho
main, thfs couplfd with the announcement
that the fall tournament will also be net
out by tho Country Club of Atlantic Cll.v.
"I can see a small opening for debate, nt
least, on the matter of tho big champion
ship!', but ns for the little tournaments,"
pouted a golf hug here, "I don't sec the
slightest reason tor their being called off"
Fallacy Busted
He went on to point out how golfers,
starving for tournament work, have come
hero from all over the country, even from
foreign climes, hungering for a season's
liiiks feast, and that the entry list had
been better than any of peace times.
"That stuff about they tell about golfers
not wanting to enter rather goes by tho
board now. In this tournament anyhow,"
added the golfer, and such eeems to be tho
case.
The Corliian boys brought the tiding
out of Baltimore that the annual spring
tournament over tho Dixie-course, would bo
played as ucual and that a fine entry list
was assured. This tourney will bo played
shortly. May 17, l' IS. Many if tho stars

the blc event at Wilmington.
The St, Martins tournament In Septem
