Mr.. Baker said to the Associated

Donovan is to continue as manager
Of the Phillies. Rumors to the CON
trary probably arose from the fact that
he was called to Chicago as n witness

Donovan is not in Philadelphia, nor
is he in Chicago with the phillics.
The report that the Pills manager
had left the team came from Chicago.
1t was further stated that Kaiser"
Wilhelm. club scout, was in charge Of
the team.

The signing Of "Wild Bill" as man

n good baseball man. He tried hard to
give the Phils n winner. but with a
Dadiy crippled team, which included
several dissatisfied stars, he has had
a hard rocky road to travel. Donovan
was said to have suggested the several
recent trades the Phils made with the
Giants and while he gave away one or
two stars he acquired several young
sterS who look very promising.

Jack Coombs was presented with the
management by Mr.. Baker to start the
