He believes that eventually he will build up a winning club for the Quakers. Donovan denies de-nies that his boss, the well-known Mr. Baker, is a "tight wad" and has refused to open the purse strings for players. He said : "Mr. Baker is willing to spend money but where are you going to get ball players of known major league caliber? I had a trade on with St. Louis for Janvrin, but they demanded a pitcher that I refused to give up. I intend to keep plugging along and believe that some day the old hard luck lane will turn into the sunlight." i |
