A managerial berth in the minor

Donlin's word for it.
Mike contends that in order to be Il

have the patience Of Job, the hypnotic
powers Of Herb Flint. and the mental

As Donlin has tried his hand at man

know something about it. He was ap-

Of the Southern association last winter,
and he announced at the time that he
had high hopes Of making good. But

injury yesterday noon when a street
car struck the commissioners auto
mobile at Second and Main going east,
passing In front OF a street car which
was stopping for passengers
When his car got on the track the
motorman evidently lost control Of his
car. which collided with the auto,
pushing II about ten feet. The motor
man backed the car away, but before
the commissioner could get his auto
off the track the street car got away
again and knocked the machine across
the street, near the entrance OF the
Excnange National bank. The car was
not turned over. which probably saved
the city officials from injury and
did not sustain serious damage.
Mr.. Youukman stated that the mo-
torman was new cmploye of the
company and lost his head while try
Ing to control the street car.
