Bill was traded all over the old Ma
tional league and to several other
clubs on the Atlantic coast before he
settled down.
Donovan's big debut was for Wash
ington against the Giants. He entered
a wild and woolly fray in the fifth In
ming. The Giants made five runs in
the fifth, two in the sixth and one in
the seventh, and then the game was
called on account of darkness. A
short time later Bill was given q
chance to work again, this time
against Louisville. Donovan walked
six men, caved in one of Dummy Hoy's
ribs, and lost by an overwhelming
score. A week later he was started
against the famous Baltimore Orioles.
They made nine hits, drew seven passes
and benefited by three wild pitches.
All this was in 1898, and Donovan won
but one game that year. Bill captured
but one victory the next year, Wien
he pitched for Brooklyn, and In 1900
he was at Hartford for seasoning. In
1901 he came to earth and then scared
as star, winning rs of 40 games.

Manager Bill Donovan of the New
York Americans declares that Ray
Caldwell will win 80 games this sea-
son. While one must admit that Cald-
well is a grand pitcher and Donovan
is an excellent Judge of pitching abil-
fly, we wonder if the New Yorks' man
ager realizes the task he is imposing
upon Caldwell. Does Donovan know
that there are but six pitchers in the
game at the present time who have
been able to turn in 80 victories in a
season, and that four of them are
lucky to pitch in that number of games
in a year now, much less turn In vic
tories in 80 or more contests?
Alexander the Great and Walter
Johnson are the only hurlers in base
ball today who are likely to reach that
figure again. This wonderful pair of
hurlers have only been able to reach
the 80 mark once and both needed
quite lot of help from their team
mates. The veteran Mathewson leads
the modern pitchers in this respect,
having won more than 30 games in
four seasons. The other hurlers now
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1916-06-22

in the game, though not twirling often.
are Jack Coombs, who won 81 games
in 1910; Joe Wood captured "a in 1912,
and Ed Walsh, who reached the won
derful mark Of 10 victories in 1908. It
is out of the question to think that
Matty, Wood, Coombs or Walsh will
ever perform the feat again, and un-
less Washington can score more runs
for Johnson, the Idaho wonder prob
ably will never reach the 80 mark
again.
Only two pitchers have been able to
keep the opposing team below an aver
age of ESQ earned runs per game in
getting their 80 victories, which shows
how much help pitcher needs from
his teammates. Johnson and Alexan-
der were the two hurlers who went
below this mark, each cutting the av-
erage below two earned runs per
game. With the Yankees struggling
along in the second division Caldwell
has three times gone through the sea-
son allowing less than two earned runs
per game, but has never been able to
turn in 25 victories.

STUPID PLAYS AMUSE
Play in Central Association De-
scribed by Ned Egan.s
More Mistakes Made In Minors In
Week Than In Big Leagues In
Whole Season -Three-Base
Hit Counts for Single.

According to Ned Egan, "the "Con-
ME Mack of the Minors" more bone
head" plays are made in class c and D
leagues in week than you see in the
big leagues in a season. Egan de-
scribes a play made in the Central as
ISOLATION that kept the circuit amused
for several days.
Waterloo was playing at Muscatine,
and Wetzell, Muscatine's right fielder,
was on first base, and Sours of the
same team at bat. Sours gave the hit
Rnd-run signal and Wetzel started
down for second base as soon as the
pitcher began to wind UP. Sours hit
q long fly. Just as he reached second
base Wetzell thought he saw Hill,
Waterloo's left fielder, reaching up to
catch the ball.
Without waiting to see whether the
fielder made the catch, Wetzell raced
back to first base. Meantime the ball
had scared high over Hills head and
Sours turned first base and raced for
second. Wetzell passed him at full
speed, going in the opposite direction.
When Sours reached second he
thought that he had made a mistake
about seeing the ball fall safely, and
started back to first. simultaneously
Wetzell saw Hill chasing the sphere,
and he again began the dash for sec
ond, and once more both players
passed each other on the dead run,
both badly confused. The result was
that hit that should have been good
for a triple and score went for a
single.
And all this happened without the
umpire being entangled in the bone
head" play.

Horse Has Raatime Habit.

A horse has an ear for music. A
Cleveland horse has a preference for
ragtime. When he heard the notes of
a popular song from photograph the
other day in a store he fox-trotted
right across the sidewalk, dragging a
Wells-Fargo express wagon after him.
The wagon became wedged in the
door, and the animal, unmindful of
the screams of women and shouts of
clerks, set his ears forward and lis
tened to the song, allowing himself to
be led away by Joseph Davis, the driv-
er, only when the photograph had
been shut off.

THIRD BASE EASIEST
TO STEAL, SAY STARS

"Ty" Cobb, king Of base steal
ers. and Buck Herzog, veter-

base is the easiest cushion to
steal. "Ty's'' reason for think
ing so is that runners can take
a bigger lead off second than off
any other sack. Buck" says
the runner is helped by the fact
that the third sacker must take
the ball at a hard angle and
the runner has more room in
which to slide around him.
