CLUB PAID BILLS
OF NIKE DONLIN
Spent $242 for Doctors
Fees When He Broke
His Ankle.

NEW YORK. Jan. 8o.-Rumors that
have been circulating the baseball world
concerning Mike Donlin we're proved 10
be absolutely false yesterday, when
Fred Knowles. the secretary Of the New
York Giants, gave out a detailed state
ment and showed receipts which proved
conclusively that the entire expense Of
DOniin's accident last summer was
borne by the club managers.
Donlin broke his ankle during one OF
the games early in the season, and a
few days ago It was stated By a man
who pr0fessed 20 know that DOnlin com
planned that his bill for medical attend
ance had not been paid. out OF this was
deduced the story that DOnlin was al
loggerheads with the club management.
Club Paid Doctor.
The statement issued by Knowles yes
terday showed that q total OF Sl,5Z2 had
been spent by the New York club for
physicians services during the season.
The sum Of Sz4z was recelpted for by
D0nlin as part Of this. He itemiZed his
expenditures as follows: To Dr. William
o. Rau, Sl24; medical attendance IN Gin
cinnati, SIS; medical attendance in New
York $50; making the total S24Z. Re
ceipJs for the fun expenditure are now
in the possession of Fred Knowles, and

Doulin himself is rIuch perturbed over

never was on such good terms with
Manager McGraW and the rest Of the
