The Seaforth News, 1962-06-28, Page 3')hero He"s Pitching
He CC414 11h -cites!
On days when he pitches,
right-hander Dick Donovan, us-
ually gregarious and joking, is a
totally different person, He
dresses silently, snaps at sports-
writers, ignores his Cleveland
Indian teammates, and sits alone
at one end of the bench mentally
reviewing the strengths and
weaknesses 'o'f the other team's
hitters, During the game, he
talks to no one — not ,even his
catcher.
"I like to kid around and have
a good time," Donovan said rec-
ently, "but not when I'm pitch-
ing, Then it's 'a damned serious
game, They're paying me good
money (roughly $25;000) ' to
pitch every fourth day. And if I
can't concentrate for a couple of
hours every week, then I'm
cheating the club and myself."
in his first season with the
Cleveland. Indians, .34 -year-old
Richard Edward Donovan has
been cheating nobody but oppos-
ing hitters. By last weekend, he
had the best record in the ma-
jor leagues (eight victories, one
defeat) and had helped pitch the
Indians, fifth in 1961, into a tie
for .first place in the American
League, 'Sometimes Ithinkhe
must be , a mind reader," says
Detroit's Al, Kaline, '`He's •got a
good slider, fast ball, and curve,
but the big thing is he never
gives you anything you want to
hit. If you look for it inside,
he'll put it on the outside cor-
ner. If you look for itaway, he'll '
jam you. He's real tough,"
Donovan was tough in 1981,
too, He had the lowest earned -
run average in the. majors' and
a respectable 10-10 record' with
a last -place team yet the Wash-
ington Senators, in need of a
gate attraction, traded him (with
two other players and $25,000) to
Cleveland for outfielder Jimmy
Piersall. But the Senators
weren't the first team to trade or
sell the 6 -foot -3, 204 -pounder, In
fifteen years of professional
baseball, Donovan has played
with five major-league teams and
five minor-league, teams.
"We knew about the rumors
that Donovan pitched only when
he wanted to," said Cleveland
general manager Gabe PauL "We
checked and found out that he
had been bothered by injuries at
Chicago and poor fielding at
Washington. I think it's false
courage and stupidity for a man
to play when he's hurt."
On the mound, Donovan works
*lowly, taking a big windup and
$hen delivering, usually three-
quarters overhand, "Simplicity
the key to pitching," explained
Donovan last month, unwinding
_lifter he had defeated the White
Box for his eighth victory. "It's
the individuals who complicate
it. For me, it's knowing a hitter's
weakness and then putting the
ball where I want it,"
Off the mound, Donovan, who
works as a securities salesman in
Boston, enjoys joking with team-
mates and reporters. "When I
signed with the Braves fifteen
tears ago, I got a total of $150,
salary and bonus," he said. "Of
Course, they spread it out over
leveral years so I wouldn't get
hurt by the tax."
As far as he's concerned, the
fatly difference between Dick
Donovan 1961 and Dick Dono-
van 1962 is the difference, be -
)ween the Indians and the Sen-
ators. "I'm pitching the same
now as I've done for the last ten
years," he said. "The difference?
The Indians get runs and don't
let them in by poor fielding." He
paused, lighting up a cigar. "Bell,
f had nothing tonight, but I still
wont"

Was Jack The Ripper
Ever Caught?
Reproductions • " a -nineteenth
century police posters appealing
for information about Jack the
Ripper, the man who terrorized
the East End of London and
butchered six women in 1888,
appeared mysteriously in an East
A9giian market 'town recently.
"Should you know of any per-
son to whom suspicion: is attach-
ed you are earnestly requested
to communicate -at once with
the nearest pose station," the.
posters concluded.
After. the .posters had been
taken down a police spokesman
said: "This is obviously the work
of a practical joker, but .might
alarm old people."
It's almost impossiibie to keep
Jack the Ripper out of the news
-- even though nearly seventy-
four years have passed since this
mass - murderer .roamed the
streets. '
Each year several newtheories
are advanced by criminologists
intent upon finding the answer
to this grimmest and ghastliest.
of all murder riddles.
Who was Jack the Ripper?
Why did he kill those women
in Whitechapel ' and Spitalfields
within the space of three
months?
These appalling murders of
et r e e t women of the drabbest
type occurred in an area of half
a square mile. All the victims,
except the last, Maxie Kelly,
were middle-aged, In' each in.
stance, the nature of the mutila-
tions betrayed t h e murderer's
anatomical skill.
, Some students of crime have
suggested that Jack the Ripper
wasa surgeon seeking revenge
on a woman Who had caused his
son's downfall.
The writer, George R. ,Sims;
thought him to be a doctor
whose corpse was found in the
Thames in December, 1888. An
American crime expert boldly ,
asserted in a New 'York paper
that the murderer was a homici-
dal monomaniac who ' could be
seen every Sunday standing out-
side St, Paul's Cathedral, in Lon-
don.
"Why did the murders cease
after the death of Marie Kelly?"
Mr. Leonard W, Matters, M.P.,
an authority on the Jack the
Ripper crimes, asked in 1930.
His answer was that the Rip-
per "was determined to find and
kill one woman whom he knew
to live somewhere in the East

tionless after being hit in the back of the neck by a ball

End and that she was Marie
Kelly." But what was the mare
derer',e motive?
It has even been suggested,
that the murderer was a woman,
Fantastic? Yes, but no more fan-
tastie, sure 1 y, than the fre-
quently -propounded theory that
the Ripper was a man masquer-
ading in police uniform.
"Only a man in such a uni-
form could have come and gone
unsuspected and with such im-
punity," said exponents of this
theory. •
As the hunt for the unknown
woman -slayer was stepped up,
the East End swarmed with uni.
formed and plain -clothes' police,
amateur ' detectives a n d repor-
ters.
Yet Jack the Ripper went on
calmly "wreaking vengeance
upon the ,drink - sodden harri-
dans. of.. the neighbourhood —
as one writer put it.
His first victim was Martha
Turner, whose body was found
by a man named Crow, at.3 a.m.
on August 7, 1888, • curled up in
a ,corner of the first landing of
a building set amid the ill -lit,
dingy streets and courts of those
days. ' She had been 'stabbed
thirty-nine times probably
with two different knives,
The corpse of Mary Ann Ni-
chols wasfound lying across a
gutter at 3:45 in the morning of
August 31. Her throat had been
cu t,
Fear spread through the neigh-
bourhood and police combed the
area and made arrests, but with-
out finding the Ripper. About
a week 'later, on September 8,
he struck. again — his victim
this time was Anne Chapman.
0 n e particularly odd fact'
about this murder was that— to
quote a reporter -novelist: "The
miserable rag-taggle contents of
her pockets were found laid at
her feet in some sort of crazy,
geometric - design." The whole
country was now talking about
the Jack the Ripper murders,
Angry questions were asked
in Parliament. Some people • be-
gan abusing'the police, but there.
' is no doubt that they were go-
ing all out to track -down the
Ripper, writes Norman. Inglis in
".Tit -Bits."
The Ripper's fourth victim
was 'EIizabeth Stride, who was
killed in 'a 'back street, and his
fifth ,w a s Catherine Eddowes,
knifed an hour later—two mur-
ders inone night, September 30.
Marie Kelly's . murderwas on
November .9. " Then there was
silence. The killer had ceased to
strike.
Hrow did Jack the Ripper man-
age to avoid capture? It has
been said that he might have
escaped the police cordons,
which were frequently drawn
round the area, by using cellars.
"In Whitechapel at • the time
of the Ripper you could go into.
the cellars of one street and
come out into a quite different
street without once showing
yourself above ground," recalled
one Londoner recently.
He and other eyewitnesses re-
membered how even the late
Bernard Shaw had a theory
about the Ripper. He is said to
have declared his belief that
the murders were committed
"to draw public attention to the
shocking conditions of slum' life
in the Bast End of those bad old
days."
Criminologists are unanimous
In describing the Ripper as the
most diabolical killer in the an-
nals of crime in Britain.
.' There can be little doubt that
he has been dead many years.
What did he look like? Nobody
really knows, but many years
ago a former Essex police con-
stable expressed his belief that
he once arrested Jack the Rip-
per.
"He was wearing a tall hat
and a silk -faced top -coat," the
ex -police constable was quoted
as saying. "Ile had a fair mous-
tache and' light blue eyes and
.rosy cheeks, and about him was
the general air of a doctor."
The report added that the
eonstabie's superiors let the man
go, "ridiculing the notion that
this was the Ripper."
Odd stories about the Ripper
abound, Newspapers of January
128th, 1890, reported the receipt
of a postcard by Leeds detec-
tives reading: "Am in Leeds for
a week — going to be about to-
night — my knife is sharp —
I am ready — you cannot catch
me, Jack the Ripper,"
No "Ripper" crime was com-
m i t t so and the postcard was
probably the work of a practi-
cal joker.
When in his seventieth year in
1940, a City of London cigar -
m'anufactur'er told the story of
what happened late one night in
the summer of 1888 when he
w a e strolling down a quiet
Whitechapel street with a friend,.
A man six feet tall wearing a
eape suddenly appeared out of
'the shadows ahead, Seeing the
two youths, the man crossed the
road and passed them, with head
averted, on the opposite 'pave -
anent.

How Can 1?
By Roberta Lee
Q. Row can I make the job of
cutting glass straighter and eas-
ier?

Q. Is there any I can ease
Tl pair of shoes that are too tight?
A. Wrung a cloth out of very

relief to your foot.
Q.:IUow can I deal With some
dents on my carpeting where
'heavy furniture has been resting

after which brush with & stiff
brush,
Q. What .can I do when I have
inadvertently added too meek
salt to the soup I am preparing?
A, Add a few slices of potato

fresh slices until all the salt has
been. absorbed. The potatoes can
be used for some other dish later
