Lee told him to come on to the Yanks' camp at St Petersburg. Fla., but he didn't say anything about paying 1 kinaid's railroad fare.

He asked for a tryout and manager J<w McCarthy tossed him into batting practice. Donald stayed lout there and threw them up to the Yanka for 30 minutes. Me--1 i-’hy had thought the Ud would show himself up. and quit. Rut he didn't and he won a place in McCarthy's heart. Donald started at Wheeling and worked hl* way up the Yankee | chain via Norfolk.
