By George k. Holmes

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 NEW YORK, August 31.-It is, or
 should be, hats off to Bill Donovan.
 He's made good. Bill isn't going to
 give New York a pennant this year. He may not even bring his yanks under the wire in the first division, but the big fellow has nevertheless delivered and he should be handed his roses now before the heat of the Hot Stove League shriveIs his prowess.
 The Tanks have been loitering coy ly around the first division all season, which is a thing so utterly new for Gotham fans that they even now can hardly realize it. Under the old Far rell-Devery regime, with its endless succession of managers, the High flanders were the Belgium of Ban Johnson's League. Some of the best managers in the business-Gcorge Stoval, Frank Chase, Hal Chase, Harry WoIverton-they all took shot at it with the same luck.
 Bill Donovan took hold Of a sorry looking squad-one that had finished a poor seventh the year before. For a while the Tanks set the pace in the American League, which was quite feat considering the class showed by several other clubs. The inevitable drop came, but it wasn't so pronounc- ed as in former years. Somehow the Tanks hit the top of the second diw sion and fingered there without going down. And yet the Tanks have been doing something this season that even the oldest inhabtant cannot rcmem- Der their doing before-they've been winning games in the ninth inning. They've got that old fighting spirit that doesn't crumble when they come up in the last inning with two run lead staring them in the face.
 Bill vowed when he took hold of the club that he'd have harmony He has, at least so far as is known He's weeded out the trouble makers and moss-back, and hes going into the 1916 race with a team of young play CTS that even Connie Mack might envy. A few veterans remain, of course, principally Roy HartzeII and Roger Peckinpaugh, but they're de- livering a good brand of ball. In- cidentally, Bill Donovan, shattered several precedents when he proceeded to get along with Roger PcckinpaugA a player who had managed the club before him. The archives of base balls history are filled with cases of trouble following a reduction in the ranks, but Bill and Peck seem to work together like a team of thorough breds.
 The team today stands far ahead of the 1914 crew in most all ways. The club is harmonious, it has twice as many extra base hits now as it had at the close of the last season, and it has the spirit that makes a winner
 There has been constant stream of talent through the Polo Grounds the last few weeks. And more are on the way. Rubbert and Huston are combing the tall grass for youngsters, where Comiskey is buying his play CTS already put up in packages with the net playing ability stamped on it.
 The Tanks may not win pennant next year, but if they hang together and Bill Donovan remains, they're go- ing to be heard from in 1917,

He Can Land His Punch the
Fight Will Be Ended.

NEW YORK. March eff Willie
Ritchie is as good a prognosticator as
he is a fighter. then we shall have
hew-or an old-world's lightweight
champion next Thursday evening.
FAKE it from this Willie Rtchie per
son that Freddie Welsh will no longer
hold the domineering hand in the l53
bound division after their meeting at
the Garden on March II.
Ritchie is in hopes Of emulating the
late lamented Stanley Ketchel, who
after relinguishing his middlewelgnt
title TO Billy Papke. retrieved IT IN
their next battle II will be recalled
that Ritchie. up TO July last was
the proud posscssor Of the lightweight
Championship.
He evidently did not care much for
The diadem. however for he permitted
himself 10 be enticed to the other side
and "jObbed" OF the title. as Ritchie
himself expressed it, The peculiar
part OF # all is that il took Ritchie
nearly a year to convince himself
that he was the victim of a well engl-
neerea plot.

"'rhis time / am going to start all

the battle.

fight to him. III / should be lucky
|enough TO bring over my right 10 a

is all that 1 need 70 terminate this

Ritchie declared that he would
have preferred 10 tackle Welsh over
the Derby rOute-twenty rounds-but
as that was impossible he snatched at
the next best thing decisionless
10 round affair. Ritchic must knock
out Welsh. or win a foul, in order TO
win back his lost laurels

This Is a little speech that is waited
10 the sporting public by every depos-

of Ritchie's idle jests. Willie has
