A dispatch from ST. Louis. which il is TO be
hoped is incorrect. says that Manager Irwin
will sign ''Yank" Robinson of last years Gin
cinnati association team. Those who watched
Robinson's work last season and saw how his
errors lost kellys team game after game can
no. believe that Irwin seriously thinks of in
Producing such an inharmonious element In
number OF opportunities to redeem himself
and show that he was the brilliant player he
once was, but Robinson's habits were such
that he could not be retained. This year no
one wanted him. He was the weakest batsman
in the association last year, having an average
of .l69 In ninety games. and was the worst of
the second basemen. his average being 1913.
Dowd and Radford are infinitely superior. III
Irwin goes on at this rate it is only question
OF time when he will shipwreck all of Washing
tons chances Robinson mas been a brilliant
player. He was member of the old champion
Browns of st. Louis, but kelly's trials last year
showed that ''Yank" is not what he once was.
