NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-"In Davis
Robertson the Giants have second
Matty," We're the words of an excel
lent baseball judge, yesterday, in dis
cussing one of the latest men signed by
the New York club.
Robertson, who halls from Norfolk
Va, won twenty>fv out of twenty-six
games while pitching for the Elizabeth
City, N. j.. team last season. In one
of those games he struck out nineteen
men. He is really utility man. for he
has played at first base and in the out
Held Besides being a good hitter. he is
a fast man on the bases.
Robertson Is nineteen years of age,
stands six feet and weighs 1876 pounds.
He was brought to the attention of John
]. McGraw by William Hanan. the man
who discovered Mathewson.
Robertson will report to McGraw early
next June. He will not join the Giants
earlier, because he Is attending the
Agricultural and Mechanical School at
Raleigh, N. c., and wants to finish his
course. Robertson Is left-handed
pitcher, and his easy delivery promises
long and useful career on the mound.
Those who have watched him pitch
are willing to go on record as predicting
he will show championship form In his
first game in the big league.

That Never Saw Football

of a Southern college with a matricula-
ton of 800. located in Florida, where
the undergraduates seldom have seen
football until the day they enter COL
'ete; according to Maxwell. this college
was composed of a team of eleven men,
none Of whom had ever seen football
until they went out for their first prac-
tice. The team had no coach, and the
only football they CLEANED was taken
from the rule book. They practiced for
week and then played their first
game. They won the toss and decided
to receive the kick so that they might
carry the assault on the enemy imme-
diately. The kickoff came to the cap-
tain. who made the catch on his
2o-yard line, and started to run with
the ball. He went to midfield and had
a clear path in front of him. Then he
deposited the ball on the earth and
said, Come on fellows; now let's eat eat
