PLANS OF ROBINSON
New Brooklyn Manager to
Start Pitchers Training Early.
ADOPTS McGRAW's STYLE
Will Pay Particular Attention to
Base Running and Sliding.
Offer Came as Surprise.

NEW YORK, November 21.-Wilbert
Robinson, the new manager of the
Brooklyn club, confirmed the story that
he had been signed by President Ebbets
without a previous understanding with
McGraw. Robbie said that McGraw had
released him Internationally. probably
believing that he would return to the
Giants in the spring. But the new
Brooklyn manager added that when he
left McGraw lie did not promise to come
back as coach.
Il had just received my notice of
release from the New York club when
President Ebbets surprised me with an
offer to manage the Brooklyns," said
Robinson. las l always had wanted to
have a team of my own, / naturally con-
sented to talk business. President Eb-
bets offer was SO liberal that / promptly
accepted it, although l first received as
surance that Dahlen could not be re-en-
gagged. Dahlen and 1 are old friends and
/ didn't care to stand in his way.
"McGraw probably knew nothing of my
negotiations with the Brooklyn club un-
til l had signed a contract. We are
still close friends and maybe some day
/ can make a deal with him for a player
or two, inasmuch as he usually has a
number to spare. With Brooklyn's team
in my care / hope to be successful. l
think the Brooklyn players will work in
harmony with me, and I know that l
have excellent material in hand.
"Dahlen would have landed the team
much higher in the race last season if
his best men had not been crippled in
midseason. l consider that a team S
success depends largely on the work of
the pitchers. McGraw always has been
able to depend on first-class boxmen, and
that has been the reason why the Giants
have won.

BY j. ED GRILLO.

Eddie Ainsmith. the Nationals young
catcher, is working as a cowpuncher on
a ranch in Texas. He did similar work
last winter and was SO much impressed
with the benefits he derived from the
outdoor work that he returned there
after the base ball season closed last
fall
Manager Griffith received a letter from
Ainsmith this morning. Ainsmith is a
member of a band of cowpunchers on
the Nichols ranch, at Comfort, Tex He
says that he is in perfect physical condi-
ton, and that he hopes Griffith will al
low him to catch 4 majority of the games
for the Nationals next season. Ainsmith
expects TO prove himself 4 much better
hitter, if worked regularly. and Grifnth
announced some time ago that he in
tended to let him do the bulk of the
work behind the bat.
"Ainsmith showed flashes last season
which led me to believe that with regular
work he will develop into much better
hitter than he has shown himself. said
Griffith. lit may not be generally known,
but 1t is a fact, nevertheless, that Ain
smith is the fastest man on my team
when it comes to circling the bases. Not
one of the supposed fast men can go
around the sacks as quickly as he. and
speed is a rare thing to find in catchers.

to the Nationals next season than ever

will report to me in Augusta February 20

1T is needless for me to praise Rucker.
He is probably the best left handler in
the league. Ragan, too, is first-class
right handler. while I never saw Ruel-
bach pitch better ball than he did against
the Giants last season. Ruelbach is a
big, strong fellow who knows how to
take care of himself, and 1 believe he
will be good for at least five years more.
