When Bill Donovan civilian e. in
private life) was spoken of in con-
nection with the sale, disposition, pur-
chase, ETC., etc., of the New York
Americans, he was one of 629 indi-
viduals upon whom the sporting writ
ers were attempting to wish the man
agement of the team. This being so,
here's a little biographical sketch of
Sir William:
Donovan is a Massachusetts man,
having been born in Lawrence, noted
for its production of baseball Dono-
vans, the esteemed Red Sox scout,
Patsy Donovan, sharing the distinc-
ton of having helped to put the city
on the map.
According to the records, Wild
Bill is alleged to have been born
there in 1877, which makes it ap-
parent that he is not so old for a
manager. His early career, previous
to becoming major Lacquer, was as
a member Of the Sunbury, Pawtucket
Or. - and Waterbury (Conn.) teams.
His acquaintance with big league
baseball dates from 1898, when he
made his debut with the Washington
National league club, coming to that

in his horse and sat immobile beside
the barricade, greeted the audacious
ones with such fury of oaths that
the boldest were cowed and obedient-
ly fell in behind us.
But where were his men? A minute
passed; perhaps two. Then we heard
a tramping sound, dulled by distance.
1t grew louder. The first company
wound past the barricade and entered
the area of our headlights.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp. A regi-
ment on the march stretches out into
phenomenally long organism. 1t was
20 minutes before the last of the four

yond US.
Dunkerque and Louise Marie.
Despite jockeying on the part of the
drivers of faster cars behind US, my
chauffeur kept his place in the line
and we we're the first through the con-
troll. AS we neared Dunkerque, al
though he had said little up to this
time, he knocked the ashes from his
pipe.
I'm glad to be going back to Dun
kerque,' he said. Its a fine town.
They know how fellow feels when he
has been forced out of his own coun-
try. Here in France the women and

their wine and candy and fruit they

women, anyway. When we get there
I'm going to hunt up Louise Marie and
take her to dinner. You haven't an
extra silver piece or two, have you?

club from Waterbury, Conn, by pur-
chase.
In 1899, when the Washington club
disbanded, Donovan went to the
Brooklyn club, with which he played
four years. In 1902, just before the
close of the war between the Amer
can and National leagues, he signed
a Detroit contract, and up to the time
of his release at the breaking up Of
the famous Tigers, few years ago,
he was rated as the teams mainstay
in the box.
In 1908, when his pitching was a
big factor in the winning of the Amer
lean league pennant by Detroit, his
record embraced 10 games won and
lost, while in 1907 he won 25 out of
20 games.
When in good shape Donovan had
fine speed, wonderful break on his
fast ball and was generally regarded
as one of the greatest fielding pitch
ers in the history of the game. He
was also a heavy hitter.
Last year, as manager of the Provi-
dence International league team, he
came to the fore as the manager Of
championship aggregation.

BRING WARM NOTES.
MuffIers Start RomanceS Be-
tween Soldiers and Maids.
Quaint Replies Received to Missives
Enclosed in Articles Sent by
College Girls to Wounded
in Hospitals.

New Neutrality-suspicious. romances
have been interviewer with the leg
warmers and muflers knit by the
maids in the dining room of Whittier
hall, Teachers college of Columbia
university, and every mail that comes
from the other side brings warm mis-
sives from the soldiers convalescing
in the hospitals of England and Scot
land.
No sooner had the needs Of the SOL
diers in the field become known in
this country last autumn than Mrs.
Marie Seger, who is in charge of the
dining services at Whittier hall, de-
vised a scheme to improve the few
leisure minutes the mattresses had
and also to assist the warriors. With
generous contributions of money made
by the young woman students, Mrs.
Seger bought large quantity of gray
wool and knitting needles. She gave
a quantity to each Of the mattresses,
limiting that when they had nothing
to do-which frequently occurs when
some of the girls miss their meals
or come late to them-they might Knit
leg-warmers or mufilers. The wait
resses heartily fell in with the idea
and the quantity turned out was an
excellent tribute to their nimble handi-
work and the fine spirit with which
they accepted the suggestion.
When the goods we're being packed
for shipment. someone loosely re.
marked that they might send along
a note or two to cheer up the soldiers.
Mrs. Seger saw no objection to this
and half a dozen of the mattresses
penned brief notes 'to whom our
presents are given enclosing their
names. It was around Christmas that
the first shipment was male. Now

ing in with both serious and hiQpant

a week ago without any desire at ali
to go into the trenches. l didn't envy
the infantry; seemed to me foolish to
go and get killed when you could serve
your country just as we'll doing some
thing else.
Then, one night, down in Dun
kerque here, met Louise Marie. We
liked each other from the start. Say.
l felt more like man that evening
than l have since the dirty German
crew entered Antwerp. After we'd
had dinner asked her what could do
