THURSDAY EVENING.
"WILD BILL" NOW SAFEST MAN IN BASEBALL
Here is "Wtljl Bill" Donovan, who has turned out to be so safe and
sane that he took the rag tag and bobtail aggregation. known as the New
York American League Baseball Club of last year, and in three weeks of
this season put \ieni at the top of the league. lie has done more than he
dreamed he could do. Though he began the season without even a glim
mer of hope of winning the pennant, he now permits himself to think
about it when no one is around.
"Will you win the pennant?" he was asked the other day.
"I don't know," said he.
"But don't you hope you will?"
"Gee, no! T am afraid if I let myself think so they will begin to call
me wild again."
Donovan was the greatest pitcher the Detroit club has ever had. When
he wore out he went to Providence in the International League as man
ager. There he won the pennant. When Jacob Ruppert bought the Xew
York club from Frank Farrell and former Chief of Police Devery, they g
ot Donovan away from Providence. The club had been managed by men like
Frank Chance, who bulldozed the players, with the result that Hal Chase,
the greatest of fire basemen, couldn't stand it, and on his threat to quit
he was sold to Chicago, and "Slim" Caldwell, recognized by baseball men
as onejf the really great pitchers, broke his contract and went to the
Buffalo Feds.
But "Wild Bill" is not a bulldozer. He wears a perpetual smile. And
his smile has won.

FANS SEE FAST BASEBALL IN
CENTRAL PENNA. LEAGUE GAMES
Teams Evenly Matched; Close Race With Middletown Setting Pace;
Youngsters Are Prominent
Teams in the Central Pennsylvania
League will be seen in spirited eon
tests again on Saturday. Losers in
last week's battles will be at home this
week. The league is giving every as
surance of another successful season.
Games played to date indicate that the
teams are evenly matched.
Middletown is moving with much
speed. Hitting has been the big fea
ture in victories for last season's cham
pions. Highspire is showing new life
with the addition of several promis
ing young players; and Steelton prom
ises better results than a year ago, be
cause of the new blood with the
team.
New Cumberland promises to be a
big factor again this year, with Her
shey and Lebanon the new comers giv
ing all the teams a hard chase. Had
dow, a former Harrisburger and Tri-
State star, is leading the Lebanon ag
gregation.
Central I .castic Circuit Bits
Billy Moore, the Middletown left
fielder, saved the day last Saturday for
his team when he pulled down a long
drive from the bat of Wrightstone
with two men on and two out. It was
New Cumberland's downfall.
Manager Wharton, of Middletown.
tried out a youngster in last Saturday's
game. Being without his regular
catcher for the New Cumberland game
he took a chance on Russell, a youth
who was playing with the second
team. The boy delivered the goods.
"Johnny" Kling showed he is still
in the game when he defeated New
Faber Claims Pitchers'
, Record of the World
By ,-lssociated Press
Chicago, May 13.—A world's pitch
ing record was claimed to-day from
Urban Faber of the Chicago Amer
icans as a result of his performance
in defeating the Washington club
four to one, here yesterday.
According to baseball experts, Fa
ber pitched only sixty-seven balls dur
ing the nine innings, five less than the
record established by Christy Mathew
son, of the New York Nationals several
years ago.
In the third and fifth innings. Faber
retired six men on six pitched balls,
each batter hitting the first ball for
an out.

Cumberland, striking out nine men and
not allowing a man to walk. In the
sixth inning he fanned the side.
Bambaugh put the game on ice for
Middletown in the fifth inning, in last
Saturday's game. With the bases fill
ed and two out he came to time with
a wallop for three bases.
New Cumberland has picked up a
good man in Wrightstone. Besides han
dling some bad throws, he banged the
ball hard in the game against Mid
dletown.
Biever showed the Lebanon rooters
some classy pitching for their first
glimpse of Central Pennsylvania baH.
He fanned the first three Lebanon
men.
Boyd is putting up the best game
of his career, and will be a handy man
for Steelton. He was always noted for
a heady player.
Saylor has given up pitching, and is
playing the short field for the Hershey
team.
Hall, although a first baseman, put
up a great game behind the bat for
Hershey in last Saturday's game.
| Boughter saved the Steelton same
for his team against Hershey. Steel
ton claims there is none better.
The short fence at Lebanon was the
undoing of Biever in the first game.
Haddow lifted one over with two men
on. Later Ramsey, the pitcher lifted
one over. The Highspire team found
the short fence to their liking and
both Dick Etter and Boyne had hom
ers with hits over the fence.
