DONLIN ELIGIBLE TO
PLAY WITH GIANTS

Mike Donlin's application for rein
statement in the National league,
which was announced yesterday, has
met with the approval of the national
commission, as told by Chairman Gar
ry Hermann at the Annex last night.
So far as the commission is concerned
the former Giant is at liberty to open
negotiations with Manager McGraw
with view to gteting back in Giant
uniform. Donlin was highly elated
last night at the prospect of DOMINIC
the spangles again. and is now hoping
that the commission will grant his re-
quest that he be permitted to work out
with Jimmy Callahans Logan Squares
as preparation for the strenuous
campaign in the National league.
''Donlin is still in the good graces
of the league" said Hermann. When
he quit the game he did so in order to
better himself financially. which sure
ly is not heinous offense in itself.
So far as his status, is concerned, he
is eligible to re-enter the league to-
morrow and would come in with clean
hands AS to his request that he be
allowed to train with the Logan Square
team, that is a question which must
be settled by my collea CUES"
Asked about Kings case. Hermann
said Johnny had received his ultima
tum to report not later than Monday
upon penalty of being debarred for a
year. Whether he will be allowed to
enter vaudeville is a question that con-
Germs King and the Cub manage
ment. said Hermann.
Johnny King won't have to say a
word from the stage of the American
Music Hall, where he appears next
week. 1t was announced yesterday that
his act" would consist of playing 25-
point billiard match. His proba BILE OPP
ponent will be Cap Arson, the veteran
baseball star.
