DONOVAN IS
LEAGUE LEADER
IN THE OFFICIAL LIST HE IS SEC.
OND BUT HE TAKES EXCEP.
TON TO THE LIST AND SHOWS
HIS RECORD.

Wild Bill Donovan says he Ia the
rightful leader Of the American
league twirlers.
The official average gives him
second place. but he has filed list
of exception with Ban johnson.
When the ofiicial records were is
sued Walsh's record was given as
20 games won and Is lost, for q per-
centage of 1927. The dope gave the
famous Tiger twirler Is won and Z
lost for percentage Of 100. Wild
Bill Immediately let out loud hol-
Ter.
Bill finished frst in 1907. and he
wanted the honor of leading Walsh
in 1908 1t is some honor to lead
the great splitter, and Donovan ma
urally wants what was coming to
him.
The list Of games printed shows
that Donovan failed to get credit for
two games that he won. Only twice
during the season was Donovan re.
lieved and each time Detroit was In
the lead and managed to win out
The extra two games won added to
the IL he is credited with would
bring the average Of Donovan up Il
! .741, giving him a comfortable leaf
over Walsh. No doubt Presiden
Johnson will shortly issue bulle
tin giving Donovan the credit he de
serves.
Donovan, 1t will be noticed by tn
records, began the season in srea
style. taking the first eight games
until .ncston finally handed him
trimming
Philadelphia was one OF. the hard
est teams in the league for Donovan
Three Of his seven defeats were t
the Athletics. and in three other
he just managed to sneak throug
with run to spare.

Take Care Of Poor.

Wallace. Idaho.-The efforts OF a
number Of women OF this city to pro-
vide presents and supply the needs
Of the poor children at Christmas
time and the accompanying res sarch
has resulted in the discovery OF
many surprising conditions which
make the women all the more deter.
mined to found q home for friend
less and homeless children. Few had
an idea that poverty existed in the
district to such an extent as has been
proven. Five or six children were
found where conditions and sur.
roundings were such as to make i'm.
mediate action in their behalf nee
essary. and the problem has beer
solved in three cases by the adoption
of as many young children, while
others have been placed temporarily
where they will be cared for.

It impossible to thoroughly investigate
properties which have the indications OF

will be seen that the places in Alaska
which have produced the most gold are
accessible by means of a waterway. In

easily reached. The possibilities of the
remoter areas of gold-bearing gravels
will be determined some time in the fu-
ture, when better transportation methods
make them more accessible.

all of the arctic slope that drains into

an area of about 22.OO0 square miles. With

was a famous American rider in 1874. She
used to ride four barebacked horses
abreast. her feet resting on the two out

did the Mazeppa act, and other thrilling
bareback feats. Her pretty daughter,

afterward became a star rider
Emma Lake. who died quite recently

American equestrian. She always won
salvos of applause as her horse. with

word of command, while his skilled mis-
tress retained firm place in the saddle.
Riders at one time were the chief at

as we now bill our "death-defying deeds"
In the old one-ring days the whole per-

the rider and the clown. When the rider
was not riding. the clown had the ring
