SAVANNAH, March 15,—It begins to look as though William Dono- van has brought the luck and ginger needed into the Yankee fold, Wvery- to te breaking nicely for “Bmiling Wiliam.” No ball club ever bud better tratn- ing weather than the Yanks are hav- ing this spring.

Donovan both of these qualifications. particularly lucky in having selected annah for a training camp this spring, whatever the place may have been to other managers in past springs or may prove in the future, and he js also particularly lucky in ‘having all his players report to him in good condition. Even the game but unlucky Jack ‘Warhop says he feels much encour- aged by the way things are breaking for the Yanks under Donovan's smooth guiding hand. No general would be much use to his colors without the confidence of his men behind him. Donovan Is already making progress that sort of a general. It is quite signifi that the Yankee players are oxpre: ing the utmost faith in Bill's sac as their new leader. They show this desirable confidence, too, in their gingersome work on the-fteld.— : Aye, verily, it begins to look as though Bill Donovan will make good this summer in the task in which many others, more or less distir- guished in his line, have fatled. No wonder holdout Marty McHale expressed a willingness to sign up with the Yanks after his trip to the ball grounds, where he had an oppor- tunity to size up Donovan's string of twirlers who are already in the fold. If Marty went to that ball field to s something to help him gather cour- age for continued effort to hold up the new owners for what they con- sider an unreasonable raise, he must pave beat it away in disappointment. ‘There really wasn't much chance | for any one to succeed in such tactics with Keating, Warhop, Fis! ink of physical condition and work.

Sunday was selected, as & was believed the attendance would be much greater on that day. ty ERE has been a general shifting of players in the National and American Leagues since last December. More than thirty men have been traded, sold or released. This list includes two former stars of the Giants who will this season play for the Phillies, They are Demaree and Stock, who, along with Adams, a rookie, have been traded for Hane Lobert. One of the most important changes is the shifting of Charlie Dooin to the Reds.
