MIKE DONOVAN WELCOMED
AT PRESIDENTS HOME

He is an old man now and he can
look back .and see the pitfalls laid for
the boys of his time. He knows how
he stepped W. them and some day he
will write a book concerning American
youths. He has started to write a
book on President Roosevelt, and yes
terday the President gave Mike his
sanction to go ahead and finish his
labors. Mike Donovan stands out as a
clean Living man, and even IL he was
only a pug he was a champion and al
ways on the level and there are lots
of men with higher ideals on whose
tombstone such an epitaph would be a
mockery.
Local pugilistic circles are enthused
over the fact that they may have a
chance to see Til Badgley and Jim Saw
age squaring off in the squared circle.
Badgley is something of a mitt artist,
first earning his Iaurels when the local
regiment was doing duty at Camp
Alger during the Spanish American
War. Til was champion of that camp.
TITS last fight with Pete Conlon at
Rutherford, y. j.. gave his admirers a
chance to realize that Til had a knock
out punch in either hand.
Jim Savage is well known n II
these men meet it ought to be a busy
fight. Either one will 20 by the knock
out route. Savage and Badgley will
met Old Sport in THE EVENING
STAR Office Friday afternoon to ar
range affairs for q meeting before some
New York club. The Princess A. c..
will offer them a semi-final before the
members of that club If the men wish
to accept.
Another Orange fighter has cropped
up. and this time it is Paddy Hosr. q
lightweight who thinks he is a better
boy than his ~townsman, Danny Savage.
Hoar wants to be a fighter and he
told me that he fought Danny thirty
one rounds once and the fight was
stopped because Paddy broke a bone in
his haymaker. He says he is to me@s
Danny Savage ext Monday night over
in New York, but when I asked Damn:
about this he said he hadn't heard q
thing about the fight. But that will
not stop Danny IL he. sees Q chance to
cop some change and Paddy at the
same time.

Former Lightweight Champion
Is Writing Life of Teddy
Roosevelt.
BY OLD SPORT.

| see where Mike Donovan. one-time
lightweight champion of the world. paid
a visit to President Roosevelt at oyster
tape Mike was uslnered into the Presl-
dents private office and spent half a
day as the guest of the first man in
the United States. Society might say
that President Roosevelt detracted from
the dignity of his office when he re-
ceived an old-time pugilist without any
~Eornlality whatever.
But society is wrong, as it usually is
I'm its criticisms. Mike Donovan is a
true type OF the clean-living American
citizen, whom the Creator endowed with
h stout heart and a clear head when
He placed him on his planet.
Pugilism is not one Of the "beaux
Ertx," to he sire. but then a mans
profession slfDuldn't b lessen the stand
ing Of his citizenship so long as he lis
l~aw-abiding and true TO himself.
Mike Donovan is classified by Presi-
Gent Roosevelt as a. desirable citizen.
Mike was not handed a silver spoon in
fHs swaddling- CLOTHES day. and the pow
eety OF his parents made it necessary
Mr. him to begin life's battle at O time

Mantle of Sweet Marie Apt to
Fall on Winner of Charter
Oak Stake.
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

Hamburg Belle, 2:04$.. is proving 10
be the trotting sensation Of the year.
In winning the Charter Oak she estab.
lished n new three-heat record. Aiix
previously held the record, having won
three heats at rerre Haute. Ind, in
1894. in 200. 2.06M and 2:0ji.. Ham
burg Belle at Hartford trotted her three
heats IN 2:h5. s.0G and e:0ia..
The time for the three heats was one
and thrce-quarters seconds faster than
the three heats trotted by Alix. Ham
burg Beie's average for the race was
2;05A. The race record for trotting
mares is 2:o3s4. held by Sweet Marie,
and it looks as though Hamburg Eelle
would he able to become the race
queen, provided she happens to race
owe a perfect track on q perfect day.
Her showing at Hartford was the
more remarkable. as twelve horses
started in the race, and with a smaller
field she should be capable of establish
ing a still more creditable record.
r. c. Rich. of East Orange. has sent
the trotting bred show mare Amanda
Baron to the stable of Frank Palmer.
of New York city. who will show her
in the roadster classes at White Plains,

consistent winner wherever she has
been shown since the season opened.
She will also be prepared for the Rich
mond, Va. and Louisville. Ky. shows.
ana will be seen at the National Horse
Show at Madison Square Garden in the
fall.
1t is believed hat next spring the
mare win Be sent to the stable of Nose

be just as successful at that game as
she is in the show ring. She is bred in

Manager Cook saved the day in both
games yesterday when grounders
were hit into his territory with two
out and men racing for the plate. The
grim determination shown on his face
when he went after them was SO prom
inent it could have been seen from

the games yesterday in regard to STOP
ping in Rock Island and it is hoped
that some agreement may be reached
as a result by which outside teams
playing here will drop their boycott
of the city.
Cooks stop of the hot grounder
that Mullen knocked between first
and second in the 18th inning was
tile feature Of the first game. There
were two of the Rabbits on the cor
ners aid they were all ready to flee
for the plate with the runs that would
have broke up the game when Mullen
banged. out what looked to be a hit
just out OF Novacek's reach. Louie
grabbed it on the run and the side
was retired. '~
