 Bill Donovan has decided that any player drawing salary from Capt. Huston and Col. Ruppert is going to. give something in return, therefore he has gone on the warpath and threatens to use the tonahawk on all sluggish players. BilI's tomahawk is threat to send them to Jersey City. and way stations and the hard est punish nent that can be meted out to any major league player, no matter who he may be- is to send him to. Jersey City.
 Ray Caldwell
 Now,-we are not out with a ham mer for any certain player in fact we are going to try and show what can be done fby some of the Yankees if they only have the inclination. First we will take the Ray, Ray, pitching staff. and Jet us begin with .Ga1d- well. Every fan in the country knows what Caldwell can do, proYfd- ing he isn't crossed. Hughie Jen- nings has been quoted as saying Eff T but had Caldwell 4on my pitching staff Detroit would win the pennant in walk
 This Ray is a. willing worker dur ing the day and likewise believes in that old adage all work and no play makes Jack a. dull boy therefore, in the evening he likes to enjoy. him. Self. Last season, he was enjoy ing himself a little too much, in the opinion of Frank Chance, and one afternoon upon his4late arrival at the Polo Grounds, he was bawled out to perfection by the R L. It is sufh- cient to say that Ray immediately packed his "duds'' and hoped to the Buffalo Feds. saying that he would never again play on any team that Chance is managing. Wild Bill Don ovan is at the helm this year and as the powers that Swere'' are gone to parts unknown Caldwell has re- turnedsan is giving Donovan all that is in him. They do say that Dono- van is some diplomat and it behooves him to use a. great deal of diplomacy with Caldwell and snnayhap a few others if he hopes to make a showing In thiss shis initial season as a. major league boss. Caldwell has so far won three and lost none for the Yankees, ] and he has stated that he will win 30 before the season is over
 Ca1dwell's record last season was l.94 runs to a game (the new ATneri- | can league style of rating pitehers) and he was placed seventh in the line of 62 pitchers. He worked in 31 games and would probably have work 1 ed in 45 had he finished out the year. i Heading him were Leonard of Bos- | ton;- Foster of Boston; Johnson of Washington; Bressler of Philadelphia;
 Wo1fgang of Chicago, and Shore of Boston, all having twirled in at least | 20. games The Yankees fielding percentage was A963.
 l Ray Fisher
 Ray Fdshers the Vermont school
 teacher,a needs no watching after he l leaves school aceordine, to his for
 mer boss. Frank Chance, yet he is a
 player that can't stand for a ,rebuke
 If he happens to have a bad day l he doesn't want to be reminded o1
 that fact by anybody and if not cen
 sured he will work his head off the
 next time he takes to the mound.
 Ball players of this sort are inva1- ! uable to any baseball team and Fish CT always gives his employers tIleil I moneys worth. Fisher has wor I four and lost none for the Tanks this I season Last year Fisher was rank. I ed 14th in the list of 62 American 1 league tWirlers. He allowed bat 2. 2t
