WILD WILYUM REVEALS SECRET
AND TELLS WHA T MADE HIM WILD;
PHILLIES MA Y MAKE HIM WILDER
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL.
Nportn Editor, Eventm Inblle Ledger
rC WAS a dart Am! stormy night and the budding
metropolis of Uctzwood. I'a., nan losing n decision to
the howling elements, which is n clever way of referring
to high wind and rain. Main street was deserted, but
that meant nothing. One Hilda the street always deerted
If one can find it In Uctzwood, I'a. The Toonervllle
Trolley failed to meet all tralin, but nobody noticed it.
There tvero no trains on such a dark and Htnrmy night.
A light gleamed through the windows of the Log Cabin,
which Is located In the exclusive roxldcntial section of
Betxwood, I'a. It also is an exclusive cabin. It stands
ftlone.
Into the Htrcnm of Incandescence stepped n tall figure.
A soft hat was pulled over the eyes, the coat collar was
turned np, both hands were in the pockets and he had
very appearance of a person golnji some place in the
hortest space of time. This was imrect. He vvai.
Keaching the cabin, he notified the inmates that he
.

had arrived. Then he was welcomed to a part about
to be held In his honor. Nothing could be fairer than that.
i' TbuR did William Edward Donovan-, new manager of
the PhiN, attend his first banquet nfter signing the
papers. The entire population of Uetzvvood, which is
another way of saying Ira Lowry, was there to greet
t him. Perhaps this was because Mr. Lowrj lived alone In
t the lone Log Cabin.
.' Seated around the tabV were Teddy Barter, who is
' ' fcere with the latest geographical mystery, entitled "East
it West"; Frank Mackin. the glad hatter; Charlej Hecb,
, the modern Sherlock, and Hrother Oswald, one of Trls
Speaker's closest friends.
Two waiters stood on guard. There was no reason,
f but they stood on guard an.vvvav. A cheery fire was
burning In the open grate and
But enough of this descriptive stuff. Suddenly Ira
Lowry up and spoke as follows;
H "Bill, tell us a story. It is a dark and stormy night
" and n story is what we wont."
"Yes," chimed in Sherlock Hecb, "tell us a story.
Tell us what made ou wild."

S Weldon Made Him "Wild"
THE audience moved closer to get on earful, for this
was an unusual opportunity for Inside stuff. BUI
rtSDonovan- is a national figure ; his prowehs on the diamond
I s a player and manager is known to every baseball Ian,
' but no one ever knew what made him wild.
Sherlock Hceb fastened his best detective gaze upon the
peaker. Teddy Barter forgot the compass conundrum
regarding the exact location of East and West, Frank
Mackin settled back comfortablj in his iasy chair and
Ira Lowry became a polite and interested host.
I "I wasn't nlv,nvn wild," Bill began, "not until I
' itarted to plnv baseball. In the olden das when a
member of the Southern Wheelmen A. A. and the Seigel
A. A. I ut.ed to pitch. My speed was very good, but
nobody could accuse me of having control. However, I
jot by, and the boys around the corner used to tell me
how good I was. No wild stuff was pulled then.
"In lOS, when with the Washington club. I found
k difficult to locate the plate If I didn't pie seven or
Ight bases on balls the fans thought somebodj else was
pitching. Just the same I got along all right until we
..visited Cincinnati.
"That day I was in rare form. I couldn't keep the
ball away from the batter and I hit Billy Hill, a pitcher,
in the head. Bill (lopped and was succeeded by n fellow
named Helsman. The first time he came up I socked hltn
in- the bean and nfter that I became 'Wild Bill Donovan.'
The nickname was wished on me by the late Harry
Weldon, who wrote sports on the Enquirer.
"That's how I became wild. After that I gave more
bases on balls than any other pitcher in the league, and
that wos going some. I hoped to Improve, but my hopes
never were realized.
"One day I heard George and Earl Wagner, owners
of the Washington club, talking before the game.
" 'We will have to get rid of this wild gu,' said
Earl, "because If we don't he's likely to throw the ball
Into the grandstand and kill somebody. He's a good
fellow, nice to his folks, has perfect table manners,
but'
ASYWAY," siahed Bill, "I went axtav from
there. I irM shipped to Richmond, then a
member of the old Atlantic League. I continued to
pitch and liic up to my nickname. Doien in the
fried ham belt I became trildcr than ever, but very
effective. The bases iccrc loaded most of the time,
but fete batters hit my pitching. I etther hit them
or handed out four teidc ones.
One World's Record
'TpHAT season I averaged ten bases on balls per game,
X and If you don't think it Is good, look up the records.
In these daH a guy with control like that never could
live to be a great pitcher. Some manager would shoot
him. Lucky for me I got by
"The crowning feat was perpetrated in the city of
Lancaster, Pa., in 18fl0. A world's record waB hung up
in a ball game there and I hung it. Far be It from me
to pin medals on my manly chest, but I don't believe the
record ever will be equaled. In fact, a pitcher wouldn't
be allowed to even approach It.
"I gave fourteen bases on balls In that game and
shut out Lancaster by the score of 1! to 0. You sec, the
batters knew I was wild, but they couldn't run after
getting on base. After that game I decided that control
was an essential In pitching nnd started to learn it. I
pitched baseballs agnlns.t a fence until I was tired, but
soon was able to hit the fence. That In itself wns n
great accomplishment."
Wild Wilyum paused. The audience stirred uneasily
as the wind howled around the cabin and the rain
J&o fffiOX Sh?
pattered on the roof. The speaker apparently was finished,
but his listeners were not.
"After that, what happened?" Inquired Mr. Lowry.
"I ask you, after that, what happened? What made
you tame?"
"Well," continued the wild one, "I went to Brooklyn
and had better control. That's why I remained on the
other side of the bridge. In 1002, when the American
League was at its height, Connie Mack asked me to sign
with his team. I did not care to go with Connie, so
stuck around and selected Detroit. I Joined the Tigers
In 1003 and remained until the end of the 1012 season.
You know the rest."
tl TWX'T take much to male Mm wild in the old
U days," remarked Sherlock Hceb as the guests
stepped out into the dark and stormj night. "Take
a look at him next October after one season as man
ager of the Phils. I'll say he'll be WILD."

"Wish it wns for n real crown,"
was Jock's regretful comment today
as he stroked the top of his head where
the hirsute ndornment wns once.
The chnllenge match Wednesday has
the members of the Racquet Club all
ntmtt ilth interest. Jav Gould, bril
liant amateur and open American
champion, hns held contenders for his
titles completely under the dominating
swish of his racquet for these last six
years. He took the world's title from
Fred Covey. England, in 1014 and held
it till the wnr when he relinquished it.
Covev claimed it and does so still.
Walter Kinsclla. New York, adopted
the professional title and nlayed (Jould
last ear for the open title. Gould
won and he's beaten contenders for
all classes of titles.
Hut mnnv of the professionals claim
that Gould is not the court tennis king

gainsay that (Jould is muster uh ever

what it wns. nnd on this they base
some chance for Soutar in Wednesday's
match, which is nt four sets and the
necessary sets for the best in nine to
be played Friday.

sella. It was whispered around the
Racquet Club Inst week that the tour
nament wns arranged partly to bring
Soutnr nnd Kinsclla together but the
professional claimant side-stepped as
he did not feel called upon to play
through n tourney to defend the title
he claims, particularly as the purse was
not particularly attractive to him.
He figured tho winner should play
him for the honor to play Gould, two
great matches for pursc-drnwing gates,
but the nntionnl association couldn't
see it that way.
Meantime it in naM thnf Klnp.11n
rccentlj bent Gould in a no-count
match nt Tuxedo, n match held by
many to point to the fact Gould is
not in his old-time form. All of which
will best be decided Wednesday on
Soutnr should bring forth n lot of
dpuld's best tennis if the latter is to
win.
The game of court tennis is not to
be confused with indoor tennis, nor
indeed Is it very much like any of the
tennis familiar to the general public,
the greater part of which would be lost
ii trjing to follow n court tennis game.
It is n safe bet that court tennis will
never lun commonr forms of athletics
out of existence ;or the simple reason
that it would probablv cost some $50,
000 to build a court tennis arena, so
the don't grow in back Iota.
Aside from the members of tho
Racquet Club hereabouts, it's likely
that sportsdom in this city doesn't
know what it's all about.
Imagine a stone-paved courtyard in
the shnpe of a tennis court enclosed
by four high walls. A large net di
vides the court.
The racquet is slightly smaller than
the standard tennis racquet, is tight!)
strung and powerful to properly smash
n white, hard, cloth-bound ball. The
Five of thn nix gnmes played In the
Kastern Rasketball League last week
resulted In victories for the homo teams.
The only club to lose the first clash of
the second half on the home court was
Coatesvllle, nnd the Behney outfit was
forced to bow to the superiority of tho
Camden champions on Monday evening.
As a result, the Skeeters ore nt the
head of the percentage column and for
once hold undisputed possession of first
place.
Both local clubs are away to n better
start than in the opening series nnd
they have improved clubs. Germantown
in its two clashes showed that they will
be one of the hardest teams to beat, not
only on the home court, but away.
Against Rending on Tuesday the Rcnnls
clan had little difficulty in winning from
one of tho contender) for first-half
honors, and they should have beaten
Trenton on Friday, but were nosed out
by only a couple of points.
The Phillies journejed to Camden on
Wednesday and they were not outplayed
very much by the leaders. Only a mar
gin of tl points separated the teams nt
the finish, and with n little luck In
shooting the result might have been
different. On Saturday night Manager
Myers put his onngster line-up on the
tloor against Coatesvllle, nnd they
showed wonderful form in lowering the
colors of the visitors.
Andy McMalion Rack
One of the features of the game was
the wonderful playing of Andy Mc
Mnhon, who was back in action. On
Wednesday evening Manager Myers had
to reduce his player list, as he had one
over the required limit. In some way
it wns announced that McMhhon was
released, and In order to have him back
in the game Myers secured the consent
of all the managers, and every one wan
perfectly satisfied that Andy be re
signed. The Eastern League several weeks
ago passed n rule to the effect that nny
player released by a club cannot ptay
with the same teom during the remain
der of the Beason without the unnnlmoub
consent of all the mnnngcrs. 'ints vvas
the first case since the ndoption of this
rule, nnd nil the managers were unani
mous. .. ..
Pitted against Garry BchmceiK, ic
Mnhon blanked the star. In the first
half Schmcelk had scored several sen
sational goals and hnd been going around
the cage almost at will. When Wright
went in nt center in the final half and
Andy was assigned to cover Garry, it
put n stop to his scoring activities, and
this, if nny one thing, accounted for
the victory of the Phils.
American League Games
The Amcrlcun League games tonight
bring together Nativity nnd Fiftieth
Club, nnd S. P. H. A. nnd Post 20.
Nativity Is after revenge nnd after its
two setbacks In this half is determined
to hand Fiftieth Club its first defeat.
S. P. II. A. has given its line-up a
ohaking up and hopes to increase its
percentage nt the expense of Post 20.
The post team came back last week,
after suffering the first defeat of the
season the week before, nnd defeated
Nativity. Wednesday evening the two
leaders, Hancock and Kaywood meet,

Dempsey, getting $100,000
for one fight, can earn as much In forty
fire minutes as Ruth can earn in 770
ball games at the rato of $20,000 a
Beacon.
RUTH, to collect flOO.000 from
baseball at $20,000 a scaaon, would
hare to play In 770 (approximately)
ball games, or, we'll say, 1500 hours.
Which means that Derapsey can collect
as much in thirty-six minutes (his last
fight was twelve rounds) as Ruth can
collect in lfrOO hours. In one way this
makes Dcmpscy, on the basis of an in
dividual appearance, outspan Ruth by
a margin of 2500 to 1.
THERE are two partial answers.
One Is that Ruth can make 1S4
major leaguo appearances etch year
against two or three for Dempsey.
Another la that Dempsey Isn't worth
$100,000 for any one tight.
THE boxing game, in one way, has
It all over baseball as a money
maker. Rut not for the populace at
large. There are only a few boxers
who can make any exceptional money
out of their trade. Whereas there are
many hundreds of ballplayers who caa

of it, of course, is based upon the

Qualify-without high price
Looks costly, but isn't. Longer on power than price. The
four that makes the multi-cylinder car unnecessary. Power
ful because of Stearnn-Knight sleeve-valve motor per
fected through twenty-one years. Stays quiet. Improves
with use. Economical. Each Steams-Knight motor hand
made very latest body designs in ten different models.
Low chassis, long springs, deep upholstery, restful riding.
