the trip in New York until last Friday,
when he was forced TO lay off on account
OF a sprained ankle, the scribes have
been devottng much more space TO his
work than Is customary to give an out
of-town player.
Most of them have been unable to
rate him. He knocks down hard chances
by brilliant stops and whistles them
across the diamond like shot Then
he Is liable to fall down on an appar-
emily easy chance. He probably covers
as much ground as any shortstop in
either league.
Last week his erratic playing in the
field was missing He cavorted around
the infeld and got in the way of thirty
one chances. <Of these he accepted
thirty clearly. One ball got by him.
But at the bat Robinson swatted the
leather TO unguarded territory only
three times out of nineteen times at
bat. which offsets his brilliant fielding.
Can you work it out?
