Looking over the list of managers Of
the various International league clubs
one finds that a majority of the team
leaders in the big minor league OF the
East were at one time or another iden-
titled with New York teams. Arthur
Irwin, boss of the Rochester club, was
at one time manager Of the Giants and
later he was a Yankee scout for many
years. Bill Donovan, manager of the
Jersey City club, was leader of the
Yankees for three years. Charley Doom,
Of Reading, and George Gibson, OF To-
ronto, were backstopping for the Giants
within the past few seasons, George
Wiltse, who heads the Buffalo club,
was with the Giants for many seasons,
and Jack Dunn, leader of the Balti-
more Orioles, is another old-time Giant.
Pat Donovan, of Newark, and Frank
Schultz, of Binghampton, are the only
International league managers who nave
not been connected with one of the
New York major league clubs in the
