JOHNSON ROASTSDONLIN
AMERICAN LEAGUE rs THROUGH
WITH THE ROWDY PLAYER.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, March 22--"Of course
the American league is through with
Mike DonIin,'' declared Ban Johnson last
night just before leaving St. Louis. His
crime was filthy one. The officials of
the Baltimore club discharged him the
moment the fact became public and
wrote to me to have him blacklisted.
The American league won't tolerat6 any
roWdies, and certainly not men Of the
Donlin stripe. I never met the boy per-
sonally, but his rotten conduct was re-
ported to me several times last season
by my umpires, and I was compelled to
discipline him. It is with extreme pleas
ure that / declare him blacklisted from
the American for life, and I feel sure
that the National league will follow
suit
Mr.. Johnson, being in a communica-
tive mood, was asked if there was any
chance OF the American and National
doubling up.
mot for a while, and surely not this
year. was the reply. we intend to
stick by our present circuit and to ad-
here to the schedule adopted at the re
cent meeting. There may be some big
doings some day, but we haven't time to
do any dickering until the coming cam
paign Is over
What about New York?'' Mr.. johnson
was then asked.
Eventually our territory. but not for
another season at least. We VIII have
to land the metropolis, and l guess we
will have a club there in 1865. | Will
move my headquarters there by June Or

advantage from Barnes bridge home, but
Cambridge was so far ahead that she was
able to take even this advantage from

they came in as when the issue was still
uncertain, in the first stages of the race.
There has never been so large a crowd

OXFORD ROWED OUT
CAMBRIDGE HAS EASY TIME WIN
MING FROM THE DARK
BLUES
IN LOSING BOAT
Milburn Brothers Did Good Work,
but OxOnians Had No Chance
After the Starting
Signal

PUTNEY, Eng, March 22-The Cam
bridge crew today fulnlled the expecta-
tons of the prophets. and won the fifty
ninth boat race with Oxford as they
liked. The time was nineteen minutes
nine seconds. At no time through the
race die Oxford in the slightest degree
f1atter the hopes Of the supporters of the
dark blue.
Any possible chance which the Oxon-
ians might have had was shattered by
the result of the toss, giving the light
blues Cambridge all the advantage Of
station. Immense crowds, as usual,
turned out to view the contest, and the
weather, though showry, was not 50
inclement as it had been most Of the
previous years.
Cambridge was the first to take the
water, Oxford following after slight
delay, and both crews padded to the
moored skiffs at the starting line. The
start was delayed owing to the force of
the tide, making it difficult to keep the
boats noses straight.
Lieut.. Col Frank Wilson, the umpire,
finally got them away in capital start
AS was anticipated, the livelier stroke of
the light blues gave them the earliest
advantage, and their lead was increased
at every stroke. By the time Craven
Steps were reached Cambridge had a
clear length to the good, and it was pat
ent to every one that they had the race
in hand, barring accidents.
HuntIey's Stroke Too Slow.
Huntley's somewhat sluggish stroke
appeared tozbetoo slow to suit some of
the powerful Oxford men behind him.
Their weight would have told, at least
in the earlier part of the race, had they
been given more chance. AS it was, each
landmark on the river banks found them
further in the rear, and at Harrods
stores their troubles were increased by
the wash of their opponents boat.
Off the Saccharine works the dark blue
stroke made his effort and the Oxford
crew struggled CALAMITY, but only for a
short distance. Nelson Cambridge did
not quicken his stroke, and the gap was
reduced to about length as the boats
shot under Hammersmith bridge. The
effort took all the steam out of the OXon-
ians, their stroke dropped from thirty
seven to thfrty-tWo, and the race was
practically over Cambridge came right
away, pulling comfortably at an average
of thirty-six strokes to the minute, and
increased her lead without the slightest
effort.
Before reaching Barnes bridge the dark
blues were in the greatest trouble, while
the light blues amid hearty cheers pad
died past the ship at Mort Lake, the
easiest winners of the tamest university
boat race in many years.
The official time of the finish was 1909,
and the distance separating the boats
