Wild Bill Donovan. the affable pitch
er OF the Detroit baseball club Is just
back from scouting trip and thereby
hangs a tale.
Wild Bits scouting trips are food
for smiles among the players OF the
team and the management. When
ever President Navin hears a wild re.
port regarding some bush-league or
independent baseball player and the
thing sounds fishy TO him, he sends
Wild Blu out to investigate. He
knows beforehand what Bill will re,
port, but he sends him along just for
purposes OF reinsurance.
Bill never yet saw minor league
ball player whom he esteemed worthy
of trial by his own team In the big
organization. AT least he has never
confidentially recommended one.
Hundreds OF aspirants for berths
have requested and received letters of
recommendation from FILLMORE or
less carefully worded-but the letters
we're always addressed to some man
ager other than Bills own.
Bill is a great fellow to stick by his
comrades. He has never yet seen an
ambitious youngster who really looked
good enough to displace any OF them.
The astounding part OF 1t all has
been the fact that Bill has never yet
gone wrong. Last year the manage
ment sent him TO Utica to look over
Pitcher Schlitzer. who, at last ac-
counts was still with the Athletics.
Bill came back as usual. shaking his
head. Confidentially he remarked that
sending out pitcher to recommend
youth who might some day take his
Job, looked like peculiar policy. How
ever, Schlitzer wouldn't do. The Ath-
