No less an authority than Billy
Evans, business manager of the
Cleveland Indians, has described
Donovan as. an exceptionally live
major prospect. Donovan, who
started the current season at an
exceptional clip, is being used
largely as fill-in man at pres
ent. :, ~ -
Jerry's removal from the regu-
lar order, is a mystery. 1t is ur1-
derstood that he was hitting well
above 800 when a substitution
was. made. A $4,000 cash con-
Sideration, along with three bali
players, was first asked for Dono-
van, eventually $4,000 was sliced
off the original purchase price.
The Washington club then
stepped up with its bid for 20
grand. Quite a sum for a non
playing minor Lacquer at that.
Shortstop Joe Cronin, long
time pal Of Jerry, believes the
yolingster will develop in the big
time. He said today:
"DOnovan's. q hustler all the
time and he's only 23.. He takes
a healthy swipe at the ball,
uses Judgment at the plate and
is a keen flyhawk. His throw
ing whips good, too.
= "Jerry's been long time pal
of mine. But I'm judging him
strictly as a ball pIayer-nOt
as . friend"
Donovan, 1t is understood, is
one of the fastest Pacific Coast
Leaguers in the business. In a
speed test with a field which in
cluded Earl Averil and Roy john
son two years ago. he romped
away with flying colors.
One Washington club extra who
may surprise all concerned is
Pinkie Hargrave, stubby red
thatched receiver. Hargrave, reg
ular 1929 Detroit receiver, has
suffered leg injury all season.
Nevertheless he has shown con
siderable gameness and some
punch since being turned over to
the Walter JohnsonS on waivers.
Hargrave says:
