Holmes (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, August 31.—It is, or should be, hats off to Bill Donovan. He's made good. Bill isn’t going to give New York a pennant this year. He may not even bring his yanks under i the wire in the tirist division, but the big fellow has nevertheless delivered 1 and he should be handed his roses now before the heat of the Hot Stove League shrivels his prowess. The Yanks have been loitering coy ly around the first diviMon all season, which is a thing so utterly new for Gotham fans that they even now can hardly realize it. Under the old Far rell-Devery regime, with it.- endless succession of managers, the High landers were the Belgium of Ban Johnson's League. Some of the best i managers in the business—George 1 Stoval, Frank Chase, Hal Cha.-e, Harry Wolverton—they ail took a shot at it with the same luck. Bill Donovan took hold of a sorry looking squad—one that had finished a poor seventh the year before. For a while the Yanks set the pace in the American League, which was quite a feat considering the class showed by i several other clubs. The inevitable i drop came, but it wasn’t so pronounc ed as in former years. Somehow the i Yanks hit the top of the second divi sion and lingered there without going down. And yet the Yanks have been doing something this season that even the oldest inhabitant cannot remem ber their doing before- they’ve been winning games in the ninth inning. They’ve got that old fighting spirit that doesn’t crumble when they come up in the last inning with a two run lead staring them in the face. Bill vowed when he took hold of the club that he’d have harmony. He has, at least so far as is known. He's weeded out the trouble makers and moss-back, and he’s going into the 1916 race with a team of young play er’s that even Connie Mack might envy. A few veterans remain, of course, principally Roy Ilartr.oll and Roger Pcckinpaugh, but they’re de livering a good brand of ball. In cidentally, Bill Donovan, shattered several precedents when he proceeded to get along with Roger Peekinpaugk a player who had managed the club before him. The archives of base ball’s history are filled with cases of trouble following a reduction in the ranks, but Bill and Peck seem to work together like a team of thorough breds. The team today stands far ahead of the 1914 crew in most all ways. The club is harmonious, it has twice as many extra base hits now as it had at the close of the last season, and it has the spirit that makes a winner. There has been a constant stream of talent through the Polo Grounds the last few weeks. And more are on the way. Rubbert and Huston are combing the tall grass for youngsters, where Comiskey is buying his play ers already put up in packages with the net playing ability stamped on it. The Yanks may not win a pennant next year, but if they hang together and Bill Donovan remains, they’re go ing to be heard from in 1917.
