ment The remarkable discrepancy be-
tween the batting and pitching Of the
squad is so much on the side OF the lat
ter that it has intensified the wildness Of
Bill Donovan. So he has ordered slugging

being on a par with the pitching. 1t is

Wild William Donovan is not wild be-
cause his pitchers are displaying remark
able proficiency. but he holds. with more
or less logic that base ball games are not
won by pitching alone. Three hits for a
six Inning game will not gather any CON-
siderable number of pennants. and Wild
William demands some more. In training
