BILL DONOVAN IS OFFERED
MANAGEMENT AT CLEVELAND
Detroit GLIB, However, Refuses to Allow
Veteran Pitcher to Accept Posi-
tion-Latest Base Ball Gossip.

The Cleveland club Is making an effort
to secure Wild Bill Donovan Of the
Detroit club to manage the Maps. Presi-
dent Soners OF the Cleveland club has
been comforting with Detroit officials. but
his mission seems to have failed. for
Detroit refuses to let Donovan go. Hugh
Jennings believes that when the weather
becomes settled Donovan will have the
most successful season Of recent years.
He is said to be in better form now than
he has been for some time and Is slated
to pitch winning ball.
But that is not the only obstacle in the
way Of Donovan going to Cleveland.
President Navin Of the Tigers considers
Donovan one of the best posted ball
players in the business and he figures
that it will pay him to carry Donovan
along even though he works but seldom.
not only for the assistance he gives Jen-
nings in managing the team. but In the
event that Jennings should some day
want to quit his job Donovan Will De
sure to succeed him.
In the meantime the Cleveland club Is
trying to land Donovan to manage the
Maps, but for the present at least there
Is but little chance Of accomplishing this.
These Chicago Cubs present rather
sorry front at present. The team recently
was, with the exception Of its pitching.
one to fear The men were hitting all sorts
of pitching and getting the runs across
the plate like a championship team. How
ever, the batting order appears to have
been struck by bomb. The infield Is shot
to pieces, with Evers out of the game,
though neither Shean or Zimmerman Is
to be despised. Whenever Chance gives
way at first to Safer another crimp goes
into the Cubs efficiency.
The chief trouble with the team. how
ever, is it's pitching. 1t misses that splen-
did early work of Orval Overall last sea-
son. Then, too, the mighty Brown IL
losing his edge and Reulbach is wilder
than an Ozark turkey.
1t really appears that the team will be
fortunate to get out of all OF its troubles.
II Pat Donovan tries out that time
honored delusion as to Detroit not being
able to beat left-handers. 1t may expert
ence q severe jolt. 1t Is true some of
those mighty swingers on the club are
not fond Of the larboard delivery: but
they not only hit 1t. they beat 1t. The
Browns sent all the southpaws en- the
club against the jungle men without being
able to stop them.

 In connection with the trackaxe and roundhouse changes in progress at Ce1ar Hill. New Haven, the New Ha- ven road is establishing a line of stor- age tracks on the Montowese mead ows, running north from the Air line tracks on the east side of the Quinni- piac river. Two tracks have already been put down to the extent of mile or more, and these will be added to from time to time.
 The ground on each side of them will be used for the storage of rails, frogs and other paraphernalia Of the railroad business, the idea being to make this point a general source of supplies for heavy material needed in track work, instead of having it dis trfbuted about the system as 1t now fig. Heavy cranes will be installed along tho lines of track for the ex-. petitions handling of all articles of great weight

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 TO cURTAiL EXPENSES.
Working Force and Supplies Are to
 Be Affected.

New Haven, Conn, March 10.-Part- ly as a result of the recent decision of the interstate commerce commission against increase of freight rates. the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company will order extensive reductions very soon upon it's sys- tenn.
 To curtail Supplies and Help.
 The reductions will apply to the mat ter of supplies which will be eurtailed, and to the cost of maintenance and operation. New work already in prog ress and where contracts are already out is not likely to be much affected. It is understood that the most import ant reduction ', ill be made i'll the op- erating force, and in the shops, where it will apply to the number employed and not to wages.
 The reduction, practically, will not so into force until about the first of next month, and will thus affect the last quarter of the fiscal year of the company.
 Increased Freight Rates Not Allowed.
 In this connection it is pointed out that in his last annual report PreSi- dent Aellen expressed the belief that the net loss in the advances of wages over and above increased passenger rates amounting to $S58,753 would be made good from advances allowed on through freight rates by the interstate commerce commission. As those ad vances have not been allowed, the present reductions follow
