VXTHATEVER their personal
w prejudtces, hates and
shortcomings in general, it
can not be denied that John J. Nc
Graw, Frank Chance and Fred
Clarke are the Three Sturdy Musk
eteers of the National league, Ned
Hanlon may have been a bear in
his day. He surely proved it in
his pennant trust activities in Bal
timore and Brooklyn. But Ma has
passed to the great beyond as an
approved leader of modern base
ball machin, Y and in mis- vener-
able decline must doff his cap to
the little brotherhood of three who
for the past twelve years have had
the National league pennant policy
all to ourselves.
Fred Clarke is the veteran of the
trio and holds the record of pen
nant achievement Since 1901 his
club has never finished below the
first division and in that time the
Buccaneers have annexed our flags
and one worlds pennant. Pitts
burg won three gonfalons in a row,
beginning in 1901,
Then New York broke in for two
successes in 1904 and 1905, respec-
lively. McGraw, newcomer in
the National league, had begun to
make his presence felt. But his
old team crumpled UP after their
second straight victory in-1905.
Chance Entered in 1906.
Then came Mr.. Chance, the
Peerless Leader, and present thorn
in the side of Manager John J. Nc
Graw, of Gotham, He butted into
the limelight in 1906 with a record
OF lie victories for the season. and
though he took a very humiliating
trimming at the hands of his
neighbors, the White Sox, that fall
in the worlds series tilt. he never
theless engineered such an array OF
talent together that the gathering
of three pennants and two worlds
championships the following sea
sons was simply a matter of form.
The Peerless Leader fell down on
the job in 1909 losing to Pittsburg.
which in turn cheated the Detroit
Tigers out OF their third straight
bid for A worlds championship the
Cubs having turned the trick in
1907 and 1908. McGraw, who has
always been there or thereabouts,
was quite peeved by this time He
had been knocking about for a team
of young blood. 1t made a gallant
bid in 1910. but was not quite sea
soned enough, and when the Pr
rates fell by the Wayside in the
stretch run old "Husk' Chance and
his Bear Cats were found showing
the way to the field on a comfor-
table margin, a grim satisfaction
that had some of its edge taken off

Wild Bill Donovan Popular
With Fandom Country Over

q OUTHERN friends of Wild
y Bill Donovan. former Detroit
star, received with delight the
news that the once great hurler has
found not only a comfortable but
an excellent berth as manager of
Providence in the International
league, now that his years of use
fulness as a major Lacquer have
passed
Though Donovan was never on a
Southern payroll he is familiar
figure to Dixie fandom. For years
he visited the land of cotton in the
spring, and each year he made more
friends. This season he spent much
of the summer looking over ball
players of this section for the Ii
gers. His spectacular career has
been watched with the keenest per-
sonal interest, and the heart of
every fan beats in response to the
following tribute to his services
from The Detroit News:
Goodbye, Bill This town will
be darker when it loses the glow
of your effulgent smile. You've been
here so many years. Bill. that we
looked on you and your grin as one
of our institutions. We who know
YOU as man with an arm of steel
and heart of oak just kind of
hate to see you go. We get think
ing back to the days when a tip
would be feverishIy passed out that
Donovan is to pitch and we'd rush
out to the park pell NEIL. You
were the idol of the fans in those
days. Bill. and it is a remarkable
tribute to YOU that with your pass
ing as pitcher you still retain
that love of the baseball public
I'VE remember. Bill, when you
first came to the city. a lean, smil-
ing giant from Brooklyn. What
speed you had, Bill! How you
moved them down! And. Bill. what
rotten support you got We re-
member how you lost game after
game, though you held the opposi-
ton to one, two and three hits. But
you never quit. Bill; you gave them
the best that was in you.
Great Battle With WaddelI.
We remember, Bill, those sensa-
tional pitching duels with RUDE
Waddell, then at his best. 1t was
enough to announce that you and
the RUDE were going to battle-the
park would be filled. And we re-
member how after passing the lean
years you stepped forward to get
Your first reward in 19O7-when YOU
set a world mark as a winning
pitcher
What a year that was, Hey,
Bill? Remember that Thinning
fight in Philadelphia that year-the
game that broke the spirit of the
Athletics and sent the Tigers on
the food tide of victory? We do.

JOHNSON Is THE REGULAR

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Jack Johnson
retires one day and the next he is back
in the ring. on Saturday he let it be
known that he was so disguised with
the fight game that he would never
enter a ring again in a real fight To-
day he called up the local papers to
tell them that he has heard nothing di-
rect from Paris regarding recent Of
fer Of 100000 to fight Jeanette, but if
he hears he will communicate and ac-
cept, under favorable conditions.

BIG MOTORDROME PLANNED
OUTSIDE OF CHATTANOOGA

Plans have been practically completed
for the erection here of a motordrome
with a quarter mile track, to cost APP
proXimately $4,000 and to seat 10000
people. The promoters of the new
project have secured an option upon a
site of land between Chattanooga and
Rossyille, Ga, upon which they plan
to erect the motordrome, which will,
when completed, be the only one in the
