 In writing about the player yesterday. the Cincinnati boss had the following 10 say:
 Robinson, the young twirler whom we acquired from you, Is. as you doubtless know, taking a medical course at Tulane university
 q have received a very fine letter from the player, in which he tells me that he is studying hard, and that he will finish his course this spring. He writes for the purpose Of asking permission to report 30 days later than the other players.
 T have granted this permission he seeks Should we fail to do so. we would break into tue course which he is com- pletng. This would cause him to return another year and go over the same ground Now, I admire ball player who acts and writes like this man Robinson. We were very glad indeed to grant him permission to report late. We believe, too, that there Is much in Robinson. We were favorably impressed, I have no hesitaney in stating. by his letter and what it con- tained.

FINN LANDS TWO
 GOOD OUTFIELDERS

Little Rock, March a.-Manager Finn today closed two important deals which should greatly strengthen the Little ROCK team. One was for the purchase of out fielder Murdoch from the St. Louis Cardi- na1s. the other was the buying of out fielder cocash from the New York Giants the latter deal being conditional upon Manager McGraw being able to secure waivers on the player.
 Murdoch last year lead the South At lantic league in batting and joined St. Louis in August. He has been hitting well for the Cardinals in practice. The Giants secured Cocash from the champion Springfield team of the Three league. He Is an outfelder, but can play the in- field and Is lightning fast. He hit PIP in the Three I last year. The ten days notice during which time the major league clubs must claim him expires Sunday.
 Manager McGraw has offered St. Louis Outfielder Benny Meyers, secured from St. Paul, and Bresnahan will likely take him.
