Raised Himself front
Gypsy Hut to Main-
stay on Big Lcague
Team

Outside a hut in the 8Ypsy colony
of Fort Worth, Tex" sits Old Mike,
sunning himself, chewing tobacco
and talking about "My Pete."

Every little while the old men will
break in: "I sure hope young Mike
will make a. regular fellow of himself
like Pete. I reckon he will if he
lives like PetiHlean all the way
through."

 

 

"My Pete. who keeps Old Mike
in conversation day after day, is
none other than Pete’ Donahue, the
young pitching star of the Clncin~
nati Reds. With him as the main—
stay in the box. Pat. Moran next
year hopes to 'win another National
league pennant for his club.

There has been no humbler start
in major league baseball than that
of Pete Donahue. He was born in a
shanty of that Fort Worth gypsy
settlement that his father still in»
slots on clinging to.

From this lowly beginning Pete
has climbed all by his lonesome to a
big league sensation. While doing
so. he has acquired the sound oom-
monsense that there is a day coming
when the cheers of baseball fandom
will no longer ring in his cars.

so at the close of the season he
beats the trait back'to Texas and
takes up his studies'in Texas Chris-
tian University at Fort ,Worth.

How much they think of him
there is indicated in the T. C. U. year
book where the following caption'ls
found beneath his picture:

"Peter J. Donahue. athlete. schol-
ar. and friend to all who know him;
a typical Texan. whose sportsman-
ship has won the admiration of every

Pete is only 21. His father mov ci‘
to Fort \Vorth from down on th
Mexican border a year before the
Cincinnati twirier was born.

Pete was compelled to attend the
public schools in the lower grade.
It aroused his ambition for more.“
So he went to high school. It was
the same North Side High where
Bo hIcMill‘ln.
now coach of Centenary College
team that has just visited Boston,
got his football start

The first year of Pete at North
Side High marked thekpassing of the
great McMillin from the eleven.
Pete made the High school team his
first year out—1916. Since then he
has been steadily on the upward
climb in the baseball world.

He pitched his school to three
championships and in his final sea-
son was selected by Texas sport writ—
ers as the greatest pitcher in the
Lone Star schools.

The season of 1919 found him
working as time-keeper for one of,
the big packing houses.

That spring the St. Louis Browns
dropped into Fort Worth on their
training trip. They were due for a
game with l-ort \Vorth. For some
unknown reason the Browns cancel—
led the game at the last minute. The
packing house team agreed to take
them on. Pete pitched for it and

BOXING CHAM?

NEW roux. Nov. 28.~—-’fi- the
statements of boxing champions of
all sizes, shapes and forms are to
be taken at face value these well-
known United States between now
and the blooming of the first rose
of Summer will take on the appear-
ence‘of an enlargement of the Bat-
tle o! Belleau Woods in 1917.

Audi what boxer's word is not to
be taken at the face value of a
mark? At least as it relates to his
overwhelming desire to cross mitts
with anyone and everyone from an
armless cripple to a moderr‘ Cyclops.
Yes, if words mean anything in
the lives of our puglistlc aristocrats.
the Johnstown flood will be re-enac-
ted thi winter in bloody form: noses
will be knocked shapeless: ears sup-
planted by (:5. and butchers will do
a. bootlegger’s business supplying
beefsteaks for optics handmainted
black and blue.

All this is the result of a. meet-
ing of boxing champions called re-
cently by the New York State Box-
ing Commission. In “attendance
were Johnny Dundee. world's feath—
ight champion:- Mickey 'W‘alker.

Jack Dempsey was Inning. like

and Harry Greb, world's middle-

form of a telegram.

The conclave of kings was called
for the purpose of explaining the
boxing Commission's new ruling
that“ champions must engage in a
bonafide title bout at least once ev-
ery six months or suffer indefinite
suspension. , This mle has been sub-
-stituted for the rescinded rule where-
by the commission arbitrarily vacated

Boxing Commissioner William Mc—
Cormick did the Patrick Henry by
