1t is doubtful if Jim Mcdonald, who has
played under Colonel RObinson's manage
ment for the past four seasons, will be with
the Oakland team next year. The Colonel
| says that Jim is back number, but the
| records most forciOly smOthers tAis feeble
assertion, which finds credence with but few
of the cranks. Mcdonald has made himself
a great favorite with California audien es
| by his gentlemanly, modest demeanor on the
field as well as by the earnest and efficient
| services he had rendered his team. In bat
ting lie comes nigh the foremost. and still
for the interest of his club he has never
neglected to sacrifice himself when
| necessary. AS guardian of second
base-his position, lie has few superlors, his
work being reliable, speedy and brainy.
| In base running he has always been very
successful, being feet of foot and using good
| judgment. 1t is one Of the possibilities that
Mcdonald may be with the San Franchises
next season, the official announcement of
| which would be greeted with great pleasure
| by his numerous admirers in this city.
