MIKE DONLIN suddenly bobbed
N into national fame again last
LII night when he received an offer
of $4,000 in cold, hard cash to finish out
the season with the Stockton outlaw
team Danny Shay, captain of the
team, telegraphed the offer to Donlin.
The former captain of the Giants
looked at the message slowly and long
ingly, folded it neatly and ran his
fingers along the edges, as his eyes took
on a dreamy faraway look. Visions of
a mighty concOurse, the cheering masses
of home fans calling for him to get Il
homer, and the season with his mates,
for whom he is growing homesick, were
mirrored in those handsome dark eyes
But Mike suddenly woke, and laughed
little sadly.
"Well. it's not for me this year, l
guess. We end our engagement in this
country this week at the Orpheum, and
two weeks from now we will be on
board steamer bound for Europe. Mrs.
Donlin is the one l will stick to. l
guess Shay will have to finish the sea-
son without me-"
But Donlin, it was remarked, didn't
tear up the message. Instead he placed
it carefully in his leather card case and
patted the receptacle as he replaced 1t
in his inner coat pocket. Donlln Is
hungry for the diamond, and it is safe
to say the New YORK IanS are equally
hungry to see him in Giant uniform.
This has happened often this year.
but coming to Mike Donlin is really
noteworthy. Mike is so good a player
that he rarely gets off wrong on any
thing connected with the national
game. But he did yesterday Donlin
was anxious to witness the game be-
tween Vernon and Portland. Accord
inely the act at the show was placed
second on the bill Mike dashed off
part of the makeup and hastily inquir-
ing of the stage hands the way out to
Chutes park, rushed for his car, max
ing long grabs with a pocket handker-
chief at the paint on his face.
Hello, where are you bound for?
asked a fat bald headed man bearing
an Elks' badge as big as a plate and
adorned with an orangeade hat.
why I'm going out to the ball
game" replied Mike.
"All right, come on, We'll go out IN
nv car" and so they started off, gayly
chatting In a few moments Mike no
ticed that the scenery looked unta-
miliar.
"Where are you taking me to?" asked
the former Giant, with visions of
bold daylight kidnapping in his mind.
"Why, to Vernon, of course"
Mike sat for a moment with mouth
omen and then exploded.

perfect scores. The roads were excel

the exception of stretch of five miles
north of Perris.
The drivers encountered rough go

all the machines stood up well under

perfect condition today, and showed
no effects of the mishap.
The Goodyear air bottles proved TO

game has been changed. 1t is a good
thing you came along" and Mike wiped
the Flesh" and rouge off in handfuls.
Jimmy Erwin, the 115-pound boxer of
San Francisco, breezed in town last
night and strolled into the sanctum
sanctOrum to announce that he Is ready
and willing to devote his attention Tor
a brief period to any of the local boys
of his weight who want his game. He
saw Promoter McCarey in San Fran
cisco Sunday and the southern fight
magnate spoke encouragingly of the
prospects for getting a match with a
good boy for a preliminary to the
Nelson Wolgast or Flynn-Papke bat
ties. He therefore stayed not on the
order of his going, but scattered for
the direction of the Angel city. Jimmy
has not appeared before the local fans
for two years, but made good by the
lacing he gave young McGovern about
that time Jimmy fought Dick Muir
ray in a preliminary to the Burns
O'Brien contest.
Further comment on the "Ketche
decision" in San Francisco appears
hardly necessary, in view of the eX-
IIESSipilS lllcll nave PpuANN Al 1ANi@
men who saw the battle and are re-
garded as experts in the mitt game
1.-THE rankest deal we ever saw in the
ring" this seems to be the consensus
of opinion. Jimmy Coffroth should take
warning by this experience, but It's
collars to a hole in the atmosphere thai
he won't. The game has stood in none
too good odOr in San Francisco for
long time. 1t has aged years in one
afternoon and is correspondence more
noisome in its pungency to the
nostrils.
To Ketchel. strange as seems the
statement, falls all the worst of 1t II
the decision. He not only made the
poorest showing since he was knocked
out by Papke but his championship
bubble has burst with a pop hearc
round the world. Not man who saw
that fight probably would endangel
enc nickel of his money by betting oil
the middleweght title TO defeat JacI
Johnson. Papke must be given al
credit for q brave and furious battle
He also must be given credit for taking
such a bitterly lost defeat so quietly
His lifes ambition was torn from his
grasp, but the raising of mans hanc
in the air and the boots of the crowo
over the decision must have beer
sweet fnuslc to his ears. Ketchel, de-
spite the verdict is, on the whole, the
loser. He shares this with San Fran
cisco. out of it all comes Billy Papkf
the winner.
