In the! other matches, the Condors took the | odd game. from the Sea Gulls and the Sandpipers did likewise against the Screech Owls.

His accomplishment preserved the spaw- ning grounds of major league tal- ent. “There were only 11 names on the roll whén he started as presi- dent at the turn into 1935, said L. H. Addington, an aide in Bram- ham’s office. “That season opened with 14 circuits. There were 10 in 1934, 21 in 1935 and 26 in 1936. It looks like therell be over 30 this year.” Elimination of wild extravagances of the past, was the major step, ramham’ said, in putting the mi- Inors baek. on sound footing. “We want numbers, of course, but more fmportant, we want sta- ble leagues that will start and fin- ish their seasons without disband- | which offers such clean, wholesome | enjoyment to men, women and chil- dren. ‘It appeals to those in every walk of life and is democratic to the limit. “I have met some wonderfully fine fellows in the game—mén whose comradeship is something;that can- not be estimated in dollars and cents. 1 believe baseball and the enjoyment I get out of it will add at least ten years to my life.” word for it—this business of acting as referee at important boxing con- tests is not what it is cracked up to be. In fact, the top-ranking U. S. ref- eree often wonders why he contin- ues to work in that capacity. Cer- tainly it is not because of the re- muneration. Two hundred dollars is about the top price a referee is paid while the contestants battle for a $1,000,000 purse. It must be his background, and his natural fondness for the fight' game. The son of Mike Donovan, a great ring warrior of another day, Arthur is himself a fighter of no mean ability. ~ After his active ring career was over Artie dropped out of the picture. Only octasionally did he attend fights. It was on one of those infrequent visits to the boxing shows that Donovan met Senator Prawley, a boxing en- thusiast. The senator chided Artie tor his lack of interest in the game that meant so much to the senior Donovan, and suggested that Arthur apply for a referee's license. Top In 10 Years Artie took the hint and before he knew it he was working as a third man in the ring. That was about 10 years ago. Since then Donovan has climbed the ladder until today he tops‘the field, handling most championship fights. He was the third man in the ring when Primo Carnera took the title from Jack Sharkey and was on the job to halt the Baer-Carnera battle in the 11th round. ¢ Donovan might have been the l You can take' Artie.
