DONOVAN TO STICK
WITH YANKEE TEAM

Bill Donovan will not be displaced
as manager of the Yankees when his
contract expires at the end OF the 1917
campaign. as was reported from Chi
cago one day last week William
Fleischmann, vice president OF the
New York American League club, is
authority for the statement that Don.
ovan will be kept as long as he wishes
to run the playing affairs of the
Yanks.
Donovan has run into a great deal
OF hard luck In the last few weeks,
but he has done as well as any other
man could with the material on hand /"
said FIsischmann.
Donovan has done as well as he
could under the circumstances, and I
am at a loss to account for the report
that came from Chicago that Bilrs
head was going TO be chopped of
There is nothing in the rumor. The
boys like Bill and they play their
heads of for him. They have received
the worst breaks OF any team in the
American League.

surprise me. ! expected all along that

couldn't be helped. Lee was of no
material use TO the club. I think We

LEONARD BACKS UP
ON ENTERING ARMY
Lightweight Champion May Hear
From Il In Philadelphia.

NEW YORK, July 21.-The country
is beginning to wonder II Benny Leon
and was serious when he announced
after winning the lightweight cham
pIonship from Freddie Welsh that he
would Immediately join some branch
OF the United states army or navy, and
that his lights would be against only
the best men In his division
Since that announcement Leonard
has fought twiee-against q "set-up
each time. He has been matched for
an encounter in Philadelphia with
Johnny KiIbane and the night 10 to 90
only six rounds.
Leonard turned down one Of the
best offers the country ever heard OF
for a bout in that class when he re-
fused Matt Hinkers offer Of . $4,000
purse for fftsen-round 90 in Ohio
end no decision was attached to the
articles for the bout. Kilbane and his
manager had set their signatures to
the agreement and were ready to go
ahead
One Of two things happened to
Leonard when he received that offer.
He either figured Kilbane far too dan
gerous TO battle for fifteen rounds or
he decided that lighting six rounds
for a wad OF money was more renum-
erative than battling hftsen rounds
for a slightly larger wad.
The country wants to know how
about that enlistment. Leonard prob
ably will and sons insistent question
crs regarding that when he enters the
ring at Philadelphia

Harry Harper put on a trick which
Johnson and Gallia couldn't swing
when he blanked the Brownies yester-
day and came home with a 5-to-O vic
tory. Harper pitched his best game IA
several weeks and had the Brownies
swinging at the fast ones around the
chin and hearing the cal lof strike IN
the curve which broke around the
corners.
Then the batting picked up for the
the first time since the White Sox
were beaten with four runs in the
ninth inning. -Four singles in a r,w
were found against Tom Rogers, with
Menosky, Ainsmith, Harper and Judge
delivering the drives and two rms
came in the third inning.
In the second, Rice doubled and
crossed the plate on two infeld outs,
while in the eighth a walk TO Foster

JOHNSON DESIRED
. BY CHICAGO, SAYS
RUMOR FROM WEST
/ CORBETT ON THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-The second
Western invasion for the Griffmen
comes to a close today with a double
header against the Browns and with
a little hitting in the pinches, Grit
fifth believes he will return to the
home lot leading two opponents, the
two who are behind now, the
Browns seventh and the Athletics
eighth. The first two games here
were donated to the enemy because
Allen Sothoron and Dave Davenport
puzzled the batters, but Unexpectedly
yesterday the batting went on a wild
journey and routed Tom Rogers for
a 800 victory which caused the move
from the bottom for sixth place.
The journey out in this section has
not been q bowling success for the
Griffmen. They fell into q slump at
the first stop, and have not been able
to recover their stride. When a club
lie under the-.5O0 mark passing July
(, It is quite q task to get up and
Join the pennant leaders.
OF course, the Griffs, the Browns,
and Athletics cannot be classed with
the flag opponents for this season. so
it means that Griffith will turn his
attention to the future. to sound out
the weak spots and try to strengthen
them.
In this respect there Is a big trade
in the preliminary stage with the
Griffs. 1t may be denied by Griffith,
but the report is current here that
Griffith is in conference with Com
iskey. And then. also, It is known
that Fielder Jones. with Phil Ball, a
multi-millionaire in back OF him. also
is looking to the future.

VIII Sell johnson.

The report which refuses to down
10 that walter johnson will be the
price paid to strengthen next years
Grihmen. He is the only player who
would bring a fancy price in the
playing value, and so, so they say,
johnson is to close his career with
Washington this season.
Members OF the Browns gave the
open statement that Walters speed
is fading. They hit him hard when
he pitched here Thursday, and naeur-
ally some day Walt must retire. So,
then, wouldn't 1t be a good business
move for Griffith to trade johnson.
with his team getting some players
they need. in nelders and outhelders?
Mighty as johnson is. he cannot get
the base hits every day to drive in
the winning runs. He can pitch won
derful ball, and still lose shcutout
games. Grif insists upon denying
the trade mentioning johnson, but
down here they have II that SO far
Comiskey ha5 offered the highest
price-cash and players.

Demand for Enclosed Oars.

Developments in the automobile in
dustry following Americas entrance
Into the war, have brought about a
decided shortage Of closed cars. While
the demand is at least normal the
production is unusually low. Accord
Ing to number of prominent car
builders, they acted-on a belief that
the demand for closed cars would be
exceedingly limited as long as the
war lasts and reduced their produc.
ton of closed models to far below
normal.
Early in the year, however, Ed
ward 5. Jordan, president of the Jor-
dan Motor Car company, expressed his
belief that the man accustomed to
buying a car each year is turning to
the enclosed car for year-round use.
Consequently, instead Of curtailing his
production program, Mr.. Jordan in
troduced four new types of Jordan
closed carriages, each of which is dis.
tinguished by new and advanced Gus
tom body designs made even more ex-
elusive by rare appointments and ex-
quisite finish in variety of optional
colors. Actual conditions have proved
Mr.. Jordan's judgment correct. While
many car-builders are lamenting
their shortage of closed body types
there is an increasing sale Of Jordan
sport limousines, broughams, town
cars and sedans.

Tourists Visit Vclie Factory.

Three years ago two members OF
the Brussels Holland Athletic club
started out to visit every city in the
world of $4,000 population and over.
They are required to walk the entire
distance, be back in Brussels within
10 years and if success will win a
wager of $4,000 each.
They arrived in San Francisco July
10 and the past week reached Moline,
Ill immediately expressing an eager
ness to visit the Velie factory Every
courtesy was shown the travellers and
the details of Velie Six construction
fully explained.
Mr.. Van Den Enden, leader of the
group, said: I'VE have seen hundreds
of Nelie cars In our trip across the
west and have ridden in many of them
upon our sightseeing tours in towns
visited. We heard good words for the
car and the factory and we wished to
see where and how such automobile
was constructed"
The Velie company signed an affi-
davit saying Moline and the factory
had been visited. which proof will be
required upon the return to Holland.
1t Is expected two years more must
be spent in the United States to visit
the necessary cities coming within the
requirement of the wager.
