BILL DONOVAN LOOKS FOR
PtnhAhT NEXT YEAR
BY HAMILTON
Omitted Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, October Al
though the New York Yankees can
not win pennant this year, Bill
Donovan. manager of the club, is
confident and hopeful for the com
ing campaign. And, unlike most
managerial cries OF next year.
Donovan appears to have something
upon which to base his claims.
The Yankees probably hold the
major league record for hard luck.
They started the year like world
heaters and then injuries began to
wreck them. Nearly every regular
on the club has been out for some
reason or another. With the team
in first place the stars began to fade
and the descent began. The result
was a bare claim TO first division
honors.
Nick Cullop, George Mogridge and
Ray Caldwell were of no use to the
club just when their services meant
the most. Likewise, Frank Baker
was out of the lineup and his slug
ging was sorely missed. Then Lee
Magee, Fritz Maisel and Frank Gill
hooley were laid up and finally
Hughie High was skidded out of the
lineup with an injury. About the
cnl., Han, ,,,,aut plicb hasn't auf-
fered greatly is the catching staff
and even there Leslie Nunamaker
was laid up by sickness for short
time.
If injuries and illness do not ov-
ertake the club next year some one
is going to play mighty good base
ball to beat the Yanks out OF the
worlds series. The Yankee infield,
with Pipp at first. Gedeon at sec
oBd. Peckinpaugh at shortstop, and
Baker at third, is one of the best
in the league. Second base is the
weakest position of the quartet and
Donovan expects Gedeon to be
a greatly improved player next
spring.
There are no faster outfielders
than Maisel Gilhooley and Magee,
although Donovan is thinking seri-
ously of placing Maisel at second
base next year. II he does he still
has Hendrix and High. two fleet
footed chasers to rely upon.
The pitching staff is excellent,
with Cullop. Fisher. Mogridge.
Shawkey. Russell and Love to send
to the mound
Young AL Walters is Zone of the
greatest catchers in the leagues.
in spite of his youth and his con-
ceit Nunamaker is dependable and
in Alexander the Yanks have the
making of star.
Donovan expects to have re-
serve force next year strong enough
to fill the places of his stars in an
acceptable manner if injuries again,
heset the club.

APPROVE PLAN Or ALLIANCE
FOR PRESERVATION PEACE

LONDON, Oct. 3.-Approval OF

by viscount Brice, former ambassa-

Lord Brice said several OF the Eng

the plan of the American league,
headed by ex-president Taft for en-
forcing peace, but had remained 81

Only 5000 Trained Men Will

The present fighting strength OF

against Villa, the bandit, there will
be only about 5000 trained fighters
left within the borders Of this coun-
try.
General Harries took another rap at
the fighting equipment OF the United
States when he mentioned the fact that
the army has few aeroplanes on the
border ready for service. They ought
to be well-seasoned aeroplanes." Genera
