They ran into her after they had come off of West Mountain, close to the local ball park. There are two flelds there, which wiil be used early next month by the Milwaukee and Indianapolis teams. The woman in question is the wife of the man in charge of the local golf course and is said to be the only woman ground- keeper in the country. She has been in charge of the local fields for years. Any one who may have been con- cerned over the cold that Sam Rice contracted a few days ago has no further cause for alarm, for Sam was out on the links yesterday, he and Goslin playing a foursome with Joe Bush and Johnny Tobin, which Gos- lin and Rice say they won.

In most of them courage is unlimited, and that is certainly true of all the top-notchers. Donovan Was Nervy. associated with In base ball was the late William Donovan, known as “Wild Bill"” during his pitching days, because at the start of his career he was one of the wildest men that ever hurled a baseball. Later on, strange as it may seem, “Wild Bill” became famous for his control. Donovan was always smiling, care- free, jovial. He loved a good joke and a good time: he loved friends and had thousands of them; and with all these traits Bill was one of the most cour- ageous men I have ever met. In 1908 the American League race went down to the last game of the season when Detroit had to beat Chi- cago’s White Sox to retain the cham- pionship. Bill Donovan had carried | the pitching burden of the Detroit |team and I disliked asking him to pitch this final and crucial game be- cause of the heavy work he had done recently. But on the morning of the | game Bill came to me and asked to be sent in. “All right, BilL” I an- swered, “Go on and pitch if that is the way you feel about it.” Plays Great Game. The park was packed that after- noon, spectators crowding right up_to the base lines. They surrounded Ira | Thomas, our catcher. The Chicago players were seated directly in back of the coaching box at third base. All through the game they and the spec: tators kept up a verbal barrage, di rected against Donovan, but through nine innings Donovan pitched as he had never pitched before. My, how he breezed them by! Speed? He had that. Curve? He had it. I do not belleve that I ever saw Donovan's fast ball carry so much smoke as it had that day, nor did his curve ball seem to break so sharply. And how Donovan tion! Thomas, the catcher, was notoriously weak on foul balls; he could not catch a foul fly. Before the game Donovan told him that when a batter hit a foul fly Thomas was to stay put and Donovan would field it. And every time a foul fly was hit during the game Donovan would yell, “I got it,” and plunge into the crowd. He caught five foul flies in that game, all fielding chances that the catcher should have taken care of. The White Sox kept hitting under Donovan's curve all the time. Wins by Shutout, Detrolt won by the shutout score of-7 to 0. By winning the game they won the pennant.

Donovan didn't sleep a wink last night. He has rheumatism. He could hardly life his arm yester- day afternoon. He called me to his room right after supper and told me the arm hurt him terribly, but he figured he'd have to pitch today if we were going to win.

He didn’t get to sleep till after 6 o'clock this morning, and I guess he didn’t sleep any too well at that.

You saw a great exhibition of pitching, that's true; but you saw a greater exhibition of the real old nerve. Donovan gave me other exhibitions of courage, and so did many other players.

Johnston and Casey defeated Btrat- tofd and Holman, 6—4, 8—8. defeated | S. A. QUINTS FAVORED | IN ATLANTA TOURNEY By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va. February 14— With @ scant two weeks remaining befors the 16 ieaders among the Southern Conference cage teams meet at Atlanta for the annual tourna- ment, four quints loom as leading con- tenders. For the first time since the start of the Conference pre-tourney dope favors teams that will come from the Northern sector, Misstesippi standing out as the only cage team of the South that has an even break against the crack quints of North Carolina, Maryland, Kentucky and Virginia. Although North Carolina has man-! aged to leave Atlanta with three Southern Conference trophfes, the | Tarheels have always appeared on |the scene unheralded. But this year {there is nothing “dark” about the Chapel Hill five, which crushed the Cavallers as they marched North, re- turned to lose to Maryland by one point, and then took its vengeance by defeating V. M. I and Washington and Lee by big scores. Apparently the race in the South Atlantic division of the conference will find the Tarheels, Old Liners and Cavaliers about on an even keel at the opening of the tournament. While the Tarheel quint crushed Virginia 47 to 16, the Cavalier's 34-to-28 vic- tory over the Old Liners, and Mar: land's subsequent 23-to-22 triumph over North Carolina struck a balance. In the Far South the University of Mississippl appears so far as the strongest quint. Louisiana State took the measure of the Mississipians at their first meeting, but Ole Miss came through with a 43-to-19 win to erase the defeat. Tulane, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Mississippi A. and M. and Alabama are close behind Old Miss, but none have shown as fast a gait. Georgia and Tulane appear capable of making trouble. With the entrants to the Atlanta tournament trimmed to the 16 leading fives, all starting play on the same day, teams of both sections should have a more even break. In previous tourneys quints draw- ing byes have been able to stand off, watch two evenly matched teams clash, and then pounce upon and de- feat & more powerful five, weakened by a hard game. The new system is believed to have eliminated this fault. SHAWKEY GETS IN LINE. ST.
