PLAY WITH NEW YORK

MARLIN SURINGS, Tex, March 5.
Manager John McGraw, of the New
York Giants, who are training here for
the season, today made the statement
that Mike Donlin will be allowed to
play with the Giants in spite of the
declaration by President Ban johnson,
Of the American League, that Donlin
is under suspension for having played
with a semi professional team in Chi
cago last summer.
McGraw stated that he had asked the
opinion of President Garry Hermann,
of the National Commission, who told
him that Donlin's standing was all
right, and that he was in the same po-
sition as player who lays off without
salary to get in condition.
"Donlin's ankle was not strong last
spring" said McGraw, 'and he refused
to take any chances. He has never
been posted as an ineligible player As
for his playing in Chicago I think that
is matter between the New York
Club and Donlin.'
