"Donahue began his baseball career with the St. Louis Cardinals as a catcher. From St. Louis he went to Milwaukee were he played first base and later to the White Sox. His wonderful fielding is said to have enabled the White Sox to win the world championship in 1906. He was sold to Washington in 1909, but failed to make good there. He later returned to Chicago, where he ran bowling alleys. He was sent to the State Hospital in this city a year ago. Domestic trouble is said to have undermined his health." - New York Times (07/20/1913, 'Jiggs Donahue Dead. Former Player of Chicago White Sox a Victim of Paresis')
