The Boys club games promise to
mark the beginning Of a new era in
boys activities hereabouts. In New
York, the schoolboy meets hold a place
Of prominence on the crowded athletic
calendar Of that town. Competition
in all forms among the smaller boys
Is encouraged and has become so
popular that events for boys of the
size OF our club have found their way
into the programs Of New York's big
gest meets Of the present Winter.
The members are asked to keep
reading their column daily, so as to
keep up with what Is going on. There
will be announcements from time to
time and by all means don't miss the
talks by the experts.
Practice up on the starts, as Coach
Cobb advised. 1t Is not necessary that
you have a field to do 1t in A short
runway anywhere will suffice Get
down on the mark and practice start
ing. That Is one of the most import
ant phases of running. No one could
be successful sprinter who was not
able to leave the mark with the rest.
The pledges continue to come in
although there are many still outside
the fold who should be in. Let's all
get together. boys, and boost the club
up a bit. And once again remember,
no boy will ever be asked to give up
a thing. There is no such thing as
dues or any other considerations
asked. All that is necessary is that
you take The Boys Club pledge and
abide by 1t.
Clip our daily talks and keep them.
IheyH come In handy some day.

Bill, that was the greatest exhi-
bition Of pitching and fielding that l
ever saw or ever expect to see."
Jaw, I was pretty lucky today"
answered Donovan with his usual
smile.
That evening Harry Tuthill trainer
Of the club, came to me in the hotel
lobby.
II heard you telling Donovan he
pitched the greatest game you ever
saw" said Tuthill. "Well. what you
saw this afternoon was the greatest
piece Of nerve ever displayed on
ball field Donovan didn't sleep a
wink last night. He has rheumatism.
He could hardly life his arm yester-
day afternoon. He called me to his
room right after supper and told me
the arm hurt him terribly. but he
figured he'd have to pitch today if
we were going to win.
Sure of Himself.
"He knew he had the Indian sign
on the Sox and that If he could get
the arm 80 he could throw to the
plate he would beat them. I worked
over that arm of Donovan's all night
long. I put on steaming hot towels.
1 soaked it in salt. I rubbed In linf-
ment. baked it and I massaged 1T.
He didn't get to sleep till after 6
o'clock this morning, and I guess he
didn't sleep any too well at that. He
made me swear not to tell a soul. be-
cause he knew if it got out he
wouldn't be able to work today. You
saw a great exhibition Of pitching,
that's true; but you saw greater
exhibition Of the real old nerve"
Donovan gave me other exhibitions
Of courage, and so did many other
players. 1 shall tell about some Of
them in the next chapter.

S. A. CUNTS FAVORED
IN ATLANTA TOURNEY
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND. Va. February Ia
With scant two weeks remaining
before the 16 leaders among the
Southern Conference cage teams
meet at Atlanta for the annual tourna-
ment, four quints loom as leading con-
tenders. For the first time since the
start of the Conference pre-tourney
dope favOrs teams that will come
from the Northern sector, Mississippi
standing out as the only cage team
Of the South that has an even break
against the crack quints of North
Carolina, Maryland. Kentucky and
Virginia.
Although North Carolina has man.
aged to leave Atlanta with three
Southern Conference trophies, the
Tarheels have always appeared on
the scene unheralded. But this year
there Is nothing dark" about the
Chapel Hill five, which crushed the
Cavaliers as they marched North, re-
turned to lose to Maryland by one
point, and then took it's vengeance by
defeating V. M. I. and Washington
and Lee by big scores.
Apparently the race in the South
Atlantic division of the conference
will find the Tarheels, Old Liners and
Cavaliers about on an even keel at
the opening of the tournament While
the Tarheel quint crushed Virginia
Al to 16, the Cavaliers 34-to-28 vic
tory over the Old Liners, and Mary
lands subsequent 23-to-22 triumph
over North Carolina struck a balance.
In the Far South the University of
Mississippi appears so far as the
strongest quint. Louisiana State took
the measure Of the Mississipians at
their first meeting. but Ole Miss came
through with a 43-to-19 win to erase
the defeat. Tulane, Vanderbilt,
Georgia, Mississippi A and NJ. and
Alabama are close behind Old Miss,
but none have shown as fast gait.
Georgia and Tulane appear capable
Of making trouble
With the entrants to the Atlanta
tournament trimmed to the 16 leading g
fives, all starting play on the same
day, teams of both sections should
have a more even break.
In previous Journeys quints draw
ing byes have been able to stand off
watch two evenly matched teams
clash, and then pounce upon and de-
feat a more powerful five, weakened
by hard game. The new system is
believed to have eliminated this fault.

RICE We'll ENOUGH

HOT SPRINGS. Ark. February Is.
The Washington players yesterday
interrupted their usual hike to OBJ
serve how a woman can lay out a
base ball diamond.
They ran into her after they had
come off of West Mountain. close to
the local ball park. There are two
fields there, which will be used early
next month by the Milwaukee and
indianapolis teams. The woman in
question Is the wife Of the man in
charge Of the local golf course and is
said to be the only woman ground
keeper in the country. She has been
in charge of the local fields for years.
Any one who may have been con-
cerned over the cold that Sam Rice
contracted a few days ago has no
further cause for alarm. for Sam was
out on the links yesterday, he and
Goslin playing a foursome with Joe
Bush and Johnny Tobin, which Cos
lin and Rice say they won.
Last night the Washington squad
paid a fraternal visit to the Majestic
Hotel. where a large delegation of
Cleveland Indians had arrived. The
latter will be here until March 5.

Some men may be bit gamer than
others, but the margin Is slight there
is little variation when you get right
down to 1T. In most OF them courage
is unlimited, and that is certainly true
| Of all the top-notchers.
Donovan Was Nervy.
| One Of the gamest men I was ever
associated with in base ball was the
late William Donovan, known as
wild Bill during his pitching days.
because at the start Of his career he
was one Of the widest men that ever
hurled a baseball. Later on, strange
as it may seem, wild Bill became
famous for his control.
Donovan was always smiling, care
free, jovial. He loved a good joke and
good time: he loved friends and had
thousands Of them: and with all these
traits Bill was one Of the most cour-
ageous men ] have ever met.
In 1908 the American League race
went down to the last game OF the
season when Detroit had to beat Chi
cago's White Sox to retain the cham
| pionship. Bill Donovan had carried
! the pitching burden Of the Detroit
team and I disliked asking him to
pitch this final and crucial game be-
cause Of the heavy work he had done
recently. But on the morning OF the
game Bill came to me and asked to
| be sent in. "All right, BILL" / an
swered, go on and pitch If that is
the way you feel about it,"
Plays Great Game.
The park was packed that after
noon. spectators crowding right up to
the base lines. They surrounded Ira
Thomas, our catcher. The Chicago
players were seated directly in back
of the coaching box at third base. All
through the game they and the spec
tators kept up a verbal barrage, ol'
rected against Donovan, but through
nine innings Donovan pitched as ne
had never pitched before. My, how ne
breezed them by! Speed? He had tnat
! Curve? He had it. I do not oelieVe
that ever saw Donovan's fast ball
carry so much smoke as 1t had that
day. nor did his curve BAN seem to
break so sharply.
And how Donovan fielded his posi-
ton! Thomas, the catcher. was
! notoriously weak on foul balls; ne
could not catch a foul fly. Before
| the game Donovan told him tnat
| when a batter hit a foul fly Thomas
was to stay put and Donovan "oulo
| field it, And every time a foul NY was
| hit during the game Donovan would
vol, "I got it," and plunge into the
! crowd. He caught five foul flies In
that game, all fielding chances that
| the catcher should have taken care
of. The White Sox kept hitting under
| Donovan's curve all the time.
Wins by Shutout,
Detroit won by the shutout score
of to 0. BY winning the game they
| won the pennant. The score Is a
true indication of the difference be-
tween the two teams on that after
noon due to the phenomenal pitching
| of Donovan.

went to Donovan, shook him by the
hand and told him:

Angry With Old League.
Some of the other seven American
League nlagnates may vote for Judge
LandiS when the time comes. They
might vote for him now ii it came
to a showdown. Nevertheless. they
do not feel any too good about the
way the National League has acted
in adopting the Lands resolution at
this time. They think the older cir
cult did something that was un-
ethical.
The next question is whether Judge
Lands will accept reelection when
the time comes. He went into office
indorsed by all clubs, whether they
liked him or not, or whether they
like the situation or not. The Black
SoX scandal had them in d frame of
mind where they were willing to DO
anything TO save the game from dis
repute.
Judge Lands has had good time
in the Office. He has had Il lot Of
work to do in more ways than in
merely signing his name to official
documents. The demands upon him
as a speaker for base ball or a rep
resentative of base ban have been
many and he has not shirked them.
Strain Is Great
The strain of speechmaking and
travel have told on him, and If he had
only his personal wishes to consult
the judge probably would decline re-
election. He will be going on 60
years old at election time and at that
age a man hesitates 10 commit him
self to 10 years more Of the kind Of
labor the high commissioner of base
| ball is called on to do But if the
humor seized him he would accept
and carry on as best he could.
The point most conspicuous for the
| moment as a result of the Lands in
cident is the condition that il is
! likely to leave in the American
| League, where there has been a fac
| tional fight for some time. with no
| probability that it will cease.
AS long as the American League is
not united the National League not
only can do about what it wills but
it can Jab It's neighbor now and then
