DONOVAN is AHEAD.
Detroit Pitcher Leads With Addie joss
Second.

New York. Sept. 1O.--"Wild Bill'
Donovan of Detroit continues ahead
among the American league pitchers.
He has won nineteen games and lost
four. Only once when he pitched
were the Tigers shut out. Addie Joss
of Cleveland is second, with twenty
three victories and nine defeats FIVE
times he BANKED his opponents and
twice only were the Maps shut out
with him in the box. Walsh of Chi
cago and Plank of the Athletics have
been unfortunate in this respect. Sew
en- times the Sox failed to get run
when Walsh labored, and five times
that calamity occurred to Plank.
Waddell is the premier strike out
man, having famed 210 batsmen-
Walsh got 179, while Donovan drew
only 70. White of Chicago has had
the best control, giving only thirty
two bases on balls in twenty-seven
games. Walsh gave eighty-one bases
in thirty-six games.
Only four one-hit games have been
pitched this season, and two of them
fell to the lot of Joss. Dygert of the
Athletics and Hughes of Washington
had the others.

my way up to something better than
a clerical position. In the summer
time 1 played ball simply because
could make more money than could
in a railroad office. 1t was just a good
summer vacation for me. I never
thought of ever going to the major
leagues. I did not think of it, for 1
couldn't imagine myself that good
player. When Detroit secured me I
went south solely because figured I
would see the country and have an
interesting time. When JENNINGS told
me I was to stick was the most sur
prised man in the world. Since then
I've realized that baseball is a mighty
good profession with chances of max
