Jlggs Donahue Was Developed as
First Baseman While Playing With
Duffy at Milwaukee.

When Jiggs Donahue passed away
at Columbus one Of the most popular
players ever connected with Dayton
ball club expired, writes Jerry in the
Dayton News. Donahue was mem
Der of the Old Soldiers in the days
of the Interstate league, helping Bill
Armour bring pennants to this city.
He was sold to Pittsburgh and after
wards drifted to St. Louis, Minneapo-
lis and Milwaukee, being sold by the
last-named club to the Chicago White
Sox. where he gained his greatest
fame. In this city, in fact until he
was sent to Milwaukee. Jiggs was a
catcher, but being a left-handed
thrower, he was unable to make good
behind the bat in the big league and
1t was Hughie Duffy at Milwaukee
who conceived the idea of making a
frst-sacker out of the hustling ball
player. The former received made
good off the reel, and It was only a
matter of months until he was a star
at his new position. In 1906 his re-
markable fielding, daring work on the
bases, hitting in the pinches and win
ming spirit were big factors in the
success Of the Chicago White Sox In
landing the American league pen.

a look over the youngsters now ca
vorting on major league diamonds we
find evidence in abundance to indi-
cate that such is the state of affairs.
Many youthful players have bobbed
up into the spotlight of stardom since
the 1918 season got under way, more
than for number Of seasons back.
An even dozen youngsters have shot
forth this year as real masters of
the mound-seven in the American
league and five in the national. Twelve
Ndebutante twirlers who already rank
close to the best of the veterans. In
Ban Johnson's circuit Boehling and
. Engel of Washington, Russell of the
White Sox, Houck and Brown of the
Athletics, Heating of the Yankees and
Leverenz of the Browns have made
good right off the reel, while Tom
Lynch's organization boasts Demaree
of the Giants, Mayer of the Phillies,
Rudolph and James of the Braves and
Chief Johnson of the Reds.
Unless the expensive Larry Chap
pell fulfills expectations, the Ameri-
can league will not be able to boast
a single star inflelder, though the Ma
tional glories in the possession of
three in Stengel of Brooklyn, Burns
of New York and Kommers of Pitts
burgh.
The older organization has also been
more fortunate in developing star in
felders. Viox of the Pirates, Cutshaw
of Brooklyn and Groh of the Reds are
crack second basemen; Meanwhile of
Boston is shortstop of the first cali
Der; Myers of the same team is
playing a fine game for the Braves at
third. Lavan of the Browns and Peck

of the new generation of American
league infield talent. Catchers Cos

championship which followed. Don
ahue has always been given credit
for being the man that put the fight
in the Sox and enabled them to win
four out of six games from the be-
lieved-to-be unbeatable Cubs. After
this series Charley Comiskey, himself
a first baseman of remarkable ability,
stated that Donahue was the greatest
first baseman Of all time"
1t was not only his sterling worth
as ball player that gained Donahue
his great popularity with the fans in
every city in which he played. Dona-
hue was one of those fellows who
make friends with everyone they
meet. Always cheerful, able to take
the applause of the fans on and off
the field without exhibiting conceit,
he had his admirers by the thou
sands. and it is not only in Dayton

London-The London morning pa
pers, commenting on the message, are
not altogether sanguine of the wisdom
or success of President Wilson's po-
Icy, but are agreed that 1t is almost
certain to lead to American interven-
ton, therefore indicating that grave
crisis has been reached.
The Morning POST says: Pres
ident Wilson will have his hands full
if he sets himself up as the censor
of morals for the presidents of Latin
America, and If the United States
accepts the duty of supporting the
duly elected president, Mexico would
become in fact. if not in name, an
American protectorate."
The Express says: President VIII
son is not the man to bluff on such
a question. From his stern and ex-
plicit message, it is clear that Mex
leo must either climb down or fight
If the former, she admits American
suzerainty; If the latter. she may lose
her independence altogether. Great
Britain has large interests and much

could be otherwise bestowed than on

Excessive Faith in Ballot.
The Daily Chronicle considers that
President Wilson displays an excess
sive belief in the virtues of the bal
lot box, and that had the United
States, like other powers, recognized
Provisional President Huerta, he
would have established an orderly
government throughout Mexico.
The Daily News says taht II only
the European powers do not stiffen
Huerta's back, President Wilson's
policy will prove as judicious as it
is prudent.
The Daily News says that II only
declares that what the Washington
government most needs is policy
and asks whether President Wilson
supposes that the American citizens
in Mexico, managing public utilities
representing $50,000,000 capital, can
put the railways and tramways in
their pockets when they leave. or
whether they are TO leave them be-
hind. It says that the message should
be quite popular in Mexico.
Its only possible claim to reason"
the paper adds. "is that 1t is the pre-
cursor of an ultimatum, and of this
we have no hint. Is not Mr.. Wilson
an apostle of peace?".
