GIANTS GET DooIN.

New York, July 6.-Red Dooin, the catcher is now the property of the Giants if that club wants him, which it probably does. Not long ago the Cincinnati club asked for waivers on Dooin Every club in both leagues waived except New York. As Me Graw has been casting about for some time for seasoned catcher to help out Meyers he didn't let this chance ship. The Giants have several young catchers, including Smith, Wendell, Wanamaker and Kenney. but all of them aren't available just now. and Meyers was the only veteran since the defection of Mclean.
 The New York club was notified yesterday by Secretary Heydler that Dooin belonged to the Giants for the waiver price. This year a club ask ing waivers can't recall them if an- other club refuses to waive so the Cincinnati club, should it feel so dis posed, can't recall the noted red head ed backstop. Dooin went to the Reds this year in trade and for several seasons was manager of the Phillies

his own on a vacant lot he owns on
North Walnut street where the air.
dome was located last summer, says
the Sheldina Torchlight. Mr.. Dean
has sunk about Is barrels into the
ground, leaving about one-half of
the barrels above the surface. These
are filled with dirt and will be
planted to all kinds of vegetables,
irrigated and treated to the best of
care. Mr.. Dean stated it was just
an idea of his own and was an
xious to know what would be the
result. He said he knew that house
plants thrived and did well when
planted this way and he did not
see why vegetables would not grow
and bear under similar treatment

"Willarditis."

The bunk being dished up by the
press about Jess Willard, the new
heavyweight pug. is enough to make
any one sick. The sport writers
have apparently contracted Will
larditis." They are making him out
not only the greatest prize fighter
the world ever produced but the
cleanest, kindest, most loving,
smartest. handsomest. polished and
altogether lovely gentleman, states
man, philanthropist and athlete the
good Lord ever created.
The truth is Jess Willard is sim.
ply an illiterate "hoss" trader. New
er passed the fifth grade in school
in his life and has nothing to his
particular credit except a giant
frame with smattering of bull dog
grit sufficient to make him a mod
crate successful bruiser. The only
definite thing he ever did was to
win the worlds championship from
Jack Jackson. broken down negro
sport and ex-prize fighter.
Good, clean sport is all right and
unveneered stories of successful
athletes is interesting reading, but
when it comes to making a demi-
god out rough neck prize fighter
and filling the newspapers with col
umn after column of cheap adver-
Using bunk. we would advise the
sport writers to take an emetic and
get it out but this Willard stuff is
entirely too much for normal Amer
lean stomachs.-Ex.
