To Hare Seating Capacity of 40,<MM>
—Wild Bill Donovan Latest
Managerial Choice
Philadelphia, Dei'. -I!.—Ban John
son said yesterday that Ruppert, Hus
ton, et al., had devilled upon an expen
diture of $425,000 for a grandstand
on Manhattan Island. As the wealthy
New Yorkers would not likely bui'ld a
ball park before they owned a team
to put in it, one hardly can imagine
the Yankees' sale has not gone
t hrou gh.
The new field will have a seating
capacity of 40,G00, or about 3.000
tnore than can be bandied at the Polo
<.■ rounds, now the largest park in the
country, -lust where this handsome
structure will be located is another
angle of the "Yankee mystery." Rup
pert owns several available sites 011 the
island and may select one of them.
Wild Bill Donovan, who is spending
the winter in Philadelphia, stated last
night that he bad not received any
official notice that he had been select
ed as the new manager of the Yankees
when the latter club changed owners.
He said, however, that if the .jo 1!) was
offered to him he would be glad to
take hold and do the best he could to
give the American League a winner in
New York. Donovan said lie had talked
■with Prank Parrell during the latter
part of last season regarding the posi
tion of manager of the Yankees.
He said he had never met either
Colonel Ruppert or T. L. Huston, the
prospective owners of the club, but
said his side of the affair was cared
for by Prank Navin, of the Detroit
club ; and President Lannin, of the Bos
ton Red Sox, who also owns the Provi
dence club, which Donovan won the
International League pennant with
last season.
"Bill" Donovan is a graduate of
the famous school of "Park Spar
rows," as those who played baseball
in Fairinount Park near Strawberrv
Mansion are called. After playing 011
various teams in and around this city
he went to Sun bury, Pa., for his first
league engagement.' He was afterwards
signed toy Earl Wagner, for his Wash
ington club, which was then in the Na
tional league. From Washington Don
ovan went to Brooklyn, and then to
Detroit, where he wan tower of
strength as a pitcher. Donovan ended
his twirling days with Detroit, and
then went to Providence, w'here he
managed the teann for two seasons,
finally winning the championship this
year.

amend the by-laws of the United States
Coif Association to more clearly define

mitted to the annual meeting of the as
sociation here 011 January 8.
The proposed amendment defines an
amateur as one "who does not accept
money or the equivalent thereof, di
rectly or indirectly, in his association
with the game of golf." Exceptions
provide that an amateur's standing
shall not be jeopardized by writing ar
ticles about, or reporting golf matches.
Members of firms of corporations sell
ing golf supplies and players making
wagers 011 the game are exempted in the
proposed amendment.
Violations include teaching the game
of golf for money, receiving pay as
caddies after reaching the age of 16
and professionalism in any other
branch of the sport.
