This makes hi: third year over .400 and tiza the major league record. “The official score of the game of May 15 (at New York between Yankes: mnd D-froit) was nor authentlcated,’ President Johnson sald in a statement eply to a inquiry from that the Baseball wn of New York was preparing a fo; protest against over- sullng of the officin]l scorer, also wers recelved at leacus headquarters.

After leaving Yale he went to the Untversity of Virginia where he was a professor and later went to Alabama. Donnhue recently resigned from At- abama giving his reason ax 1l health but later reconsidered and withdrew the res- ignation. The following story gives an entirely diffe-ent version of the reason for his resignation. “Atlanta, Dec. $—How the Ku Klux Klan is trying to force Its “100 per cent™ principles on the big educat'onal insti- tutiong of the South was told here to- day by prominent alvmmi of Alabama Polytechnlc Institute, of Avburm. After serving sévenieen years 3s head athletic coach at Auburn, Mike Donn- hue, noted in Southern athlet'c circies, filed his resignation last week. When pressed for the reason he to'd the exe- outive board that the Ku Klux Klan element in the college had hounded him for more than a year because he Is a Roman Catholic. He sald the situation had become intolerable. and he had dally received threats from students and Ala- bama Klansmen demanding his resigna- tion. “] have given Auburn the best in me. and her football team this year was the best In fifteen years,” Coach Dona- hue said. “But If the Klan wants me to get out because I have religion, it seems I must leave or stay and face an eternai row.” The executive board, Donahae today o prevafling o reconsider his res!; natlon, essured him every effort would | to elfminate unpleasa The public announcement he would s main at Auburn was followed immediat: ly by o floor of warnings, sent anony- y to Auburn execuiives, that thej Alabama Legislature next summer wou'd | make terrific slashes In the college el propriations unless Donahue got out. Trustees of the school have determtn- ed to keep Donahuc as head coach, even if the legislature refuses to appropriate one dolar. They say the college wili run somehow, and that “invisible gov- ernment” shall not dominate it. According to the alumni who returned from Auburn tonignt, the Legislature in Alabama s packed with Klansmen They say it had been established beyond a | doubt the Klan started the ouster move- ment agalnst the Catholic athletlc di- rector.” H JOHNSON REFUSES TO CHANGE PLACE OF MEETING New York, Dec. 7—Officials of the New York Club of the American league have tried without success, they assert today, to induce B.
