PAT DONOVAN OF
BUFFALO CLUB IS
CLEVER MANAGER

Patrick J.. Donovan. who led the
Buffalo Bisons to victory in the Inter
national League in 1915 and again in
1916. was born in Lawrence, Mass,
So years ago today. Pat has been a
manager. off and on, for 20 years
Starting his baseball career as an OUT
fielder in his native city, Donovan
soon broke into the big league, and
made great reputation as slugger
and base runner. His first engage
ment as pilot was with Pittsburgh
in 1897, but the Pirates finished in
eighth place. and Pat was fired.
He again essayed the role OF pilot
in 1901, when he took charge Of the
st. Louis Cardinals. and remained at
the helm three seasons, his club fin-
ishing fourth, sixth and eighth. In
1904 he was the leader OF the Wash
ington club, which. as usual, finished
in the cellar. For three years, from
! 1906 to 1908. he was manager Of the
Brooklyn team, which finished fifth
twice. and seventh the last year OF
his management. In 1910 and 1911
he headed the Red Sox, which finish
ed fourth and fifth. After that he
was "a scout for the Red Sox until
1915, when he led the Bisons to
Pennantville.

new HAVEN DOYS
RETURN FROM BIG
BOWLING TOURNEY

New Haven, March 16-The ad-
vance guard of the Journal-Courier
bowling team, which finished among
the first 25 teams at Grand Rapids this
week arrived home yesterday. AL
though disappointed over their fail
ure to finish we'll up among the lead
ers, they offered no alibis, claiming
that the scores speak for themselves.
The showing Of the local stars proved
big surprise here. but more so in
the West where New Haven is recog-
nized as the home of the leading
bowlers Of the country. The West
is still at q loss to account for the
showing Of the locals while the poor
showing Of prominent Chicago and
Cleveland teams is also unexplained.
Charles Schecher, who, in previous
years, was most dependable tourna-
ment bowler, Jared the worst of the
lot. He only showed true form for a
short period OF time in the second
game of the fve-man match. After
chalking up score Of 141 in the
opening string, he started off the Sec
onl stanza with four successive
strikes. His work only proved flash
in the pan, however, as he missed
three spares before the final frame
and finished with 1S8. Charles
Johnson, a veteran Of many tourna-
ments, was way off form, too, and
couldn't get started. But for this big
drawback, Porto, Ardolino and Lind
sey might have gtrnered better scores.
Joe Porto, who was the lead off
man, sent the team away to a good
start by getting three strikes. Ardo-
limo ran into split right Off the reel
but finished well. Schecher and
Johnson had missed spares in the
opening frame while Lindsey unload
ed a strike, followed by another.
Porto, Ardolino and Lindsey main
tanned a fair average in the remain
ing frames Of the series but Schecher
and Johnson failed to arrive. Porto's
score of 148 in the final string was
due to series of splits.

features. especially in the suit coats
and the top coats, while the shoe
styles still favor the fancy coIors and
combinations. Children are by no
means overlooked at this store and a
good assortment of wearing apparel
for the young folks will be found
here.

HENRY S. OSBORNE
BEATS MAL0NEY
IN POOL. CONTEST
Standing Of the Players.

New York, March 16-Henry s..
Osborne proved his cleverness at
hiding the cue ball sa successfully in
the bunch in the national pocket bill
lard championship tournament yes
terday at the New York Athletic club
that James J. Maloney rarely found
a shot. AS the result of his safety
methods Osborne of the Algonquin
club, Bridgeport, Conn.,, finished out
his portion of the series under the
direction of the National Association
Of Amateur Billiard Players by de-
feating his young rival by 125 balls
to II. The match lasted 10 frames.
The opening break Of the first
pyramid fell to Maloney. He sent
three to thep ockets, and then the
miscalculation of a draw scattered
the globes like corn tossed to
chickens. Osborne picked up each
kernel with a snappy stroke that in
Dictated he was in a dangerous mood.
Maloney tried safety.
He got the worst of it, for each
time the eagle-eyed Yankee spotted
combination and proved his ability
by sending the ball to the pocket.
During the first four frames Osborne
collected Al as Maloney offered him
chances while the player from the
Bronx had to be content with Is.
Osborne's peculiar safety checked
Maloney in the latter part of the game.
He gently cued the blank ball nesting
into the bunch, proflting by his OPP
ponent's efforts to make a shot while
getting it free.
J. Howard Shoemaker, the holder
of the pionship, outplayed Will
liam A. Tilt, the former title holder
Of the New York A. c., by score OF
1875 balls to 80. Shoemaker's COM
bination play was phenomenal, he
only missed five times during the
match.

SHAPE AND HELPS
FIRST GIANTS WIN

Marlin, Texas, March 16-John J.
McGraw, desiring to have the regu-
lars and second team, who leave for
Saturday and Sunday games, in the
best possible shape, put them through
hard practice both morning and af-
ternoon yesterday It was merely rou-
tine work in the morning, but in the
afternoon period a nine inning prac-
tice game was staged between the
same, teams that played to a tie yes
terday The score was to 8.
The play-off game was rather a
close contest, the regulars winning out
In the ninth inning by piling UP two
runs on two wild throws by Kilduff
and Tesreau's safe bunt, an unexpect-
ed maneuver. Kilduff's costly errors
were due to the wind, which blew
with the force of a gale.
The regulars did not score until their
sixth inning, when Zimmerman crack
ed out a home run to left centre,
Burns and Herzog being on bases at
the time. In the second inning Kelly
tore off q home run, after Ritter had
singled, giving the second team the
lead by two runs. Splendid fielding
was done by Zimmerman, Fletcher,
Kelly and Rodriguez.
Three of the veteran pitchers, Ben
ton, Perritt and Tesreau, were in the
box for the regulars. All showed en-
couraging form, particularly Tesreau
who allowed only one hit off him In
three innings.

round at the Clermont Rink in
Brooklyn last night with short right
cross to the Jaw that came with the
suddenness Of bolt Of lightning and
at time when it was anybody's fight.
Cox was giving as good as was sent
when the end came. Both men were
darling right hands at each others
chins, and 1t was only a question
when either one or the other would
land the finishing blow.
It was right to the ribs that aved
the way for Cox's finish. Coffey belt
ed one to that section Of Joe's body
and as he bent forward from the force
of the blow he tried to cross his right
to Cofey's jaw. Coffey had his right
cooked for a second blow and he
beat Cox to the punch.
Joe crumpled like wet rag, sank
to the floor and rolled over on the
fiat Of his back while the referee be-
gan the count.
At the toll OF eight, Ccx got UP ON
one knee and then gained his feet.
He put up his hsnds as If ready to

GEO. AVALANCHE TOOK
PLENTY OF PUNISHMENT
DURING CAREER IN RING

Few fighters have taken as much
punishment without being discourag-
ed as George Lablanche. the French
Canadian scrapper who was for a
brief period. the midu.eweight cham
pion Of the world. Twenty-three
years ago today Lablanche was knock
ed out in the fifth round by Charlie
Mickey in Muskegon, Mich, this be-
ing one Of a long string Of bouts in
which the Marine displayed his pro-
ticiency in diving to the canvas. La
blanche was born In Quebec, but in
his youth served as a United States
marine.
He took up the fighting game in the
early SOS, and his first experience OF
knockout was given him by Jack
Dempsey in '86 Three years later
he gained revenge by knocking out
Dempsey in tho 32nd round of bout
in San Francisco, using the pivot
blow.
a few months later Young Mitchell
put the Marine to sleep, and after
that Lablanche's record was a Ions
string Of defeats. For seven Or
eight years he travelled over the
United States and Canada, his ambi-
ton apparently being to get himself
whipped in every town on the Ameri-
can map.

FOOTBALL INCOME
AT YALE SHOWS
DEFICIT IN REPORT

In the annual report of the treas
urer Of the Yale Athletic association
for the fiscal year ending August 81,
1916, as it appears in the current is
sue Of the Alumni Weekly, football
receipts fell off $14,035.74 from the
preceding year because of the Har-
ward game being played at Cam
bridge.
A summary of this report shows
total expenses for the year Of $685.
3S0.s2, total expenses of $272,926.S5,
and resulting deficit of $6,554 SO.
Football receipts, as shown in the
table, are less by s14,035.74 than for
the year 1s14-1915 when the Harvard
game was played in the Bowl There
was, however, an increase of s1,313.20
in receipts for the so-called minor
games over the preceding year, an in
crease of $1,907.O0 in the receipts for
the sale of parking space and an in
crease of $1,02S.55 in receipts from
programs.
The largest items of expense were
$58,07363, for coaching $23,19O.S1.
and for equipment and supplies S4,-
1850. The expense of coaching
showed an increase Of $50,557.75 over
the year before, due chiefly to the I'M
settled football situation during the
autumn of 1915. The net credit bal
ance for the season was 71,084.67.
Because Of the exceptionally UNI
favorable weather conditions during
the spring of 1916, which made
necessary the cancellation of many
home and out games, base
ball receipts showed a decrease of
about $500 compared with 1914

outfield. Tim Hendrix was deposed.
He was assigned to the second team.
and the regulars were together for
the first time as they probably will
go into action in the championship
campaign. Paddy Baumann picketed
first for the second team. Manager
Donovan sent Magee to sixth place
in the batting order, lower niche
than he is used to filling.
The teams fielded sprucely. the
pitching for both was of good quality,
but the batting was light. It was
q light stick work, largely because the
pitching was first grade. The batters
need more time in which to solve willy
serving and to get more familiar with
curving.
Russell had a wild fit in the first
inning and hit one batter and passed
three. The recipients Of his gratuities
scored, but would not have done so,
had a chance for a double play been
accepted. Russell settled down quick
