Football Game Gets Finn a Star
% q 9 @ O 9 9
Mobile Lands Davy Robertson

this spring he was sent to Marlin
early.
For a time it seemed that the boys
shoulder had improved, and that he
would again be able to pitch. but
when Wilbert Robinson, the catcher
coach. took him in hand and began
working him as q pitcher the injury
again manifested itself so strongly
that Robertson was quickly shunted
back to first base and went out with
the second team playing that position.
Big Salary For Youngstsr.
When he was first signed by the
Giants his services were so greatly in
demand that II IS believed he got
big salary for a youngster. With
Rube Marquard a hold out this spring
It was a wonderful opportunity for
the boy as pitcher but the last
game of football apparently did for
him as a big league HEAVIER.
Robertson Is a very bright young
fellow, and he has made a close study
of his own case. He believes that he
can repair the damage by having his
shoulder re-broken. Meantime, how
ever. he will take a course I'm first
basing frcm Mike Finn, as II seems
that Mikes young marvel. Eugene
year or SO ago of the corner lots OF
Little Rock, only to receive him back,
has blown up.
II Is not unlikely that McGraw has
string on young Robertson, and II
is not unlikely that the boy will
prove a wonderf a first baseman, but
that one game of football was GER
tainly costly affair to him.
T was with genuine regret that
those who know big Bill Jacobson
heard OF his relegation to the minor
leagues, although Jake himself was
not at all downcast over being re-
turned 70 Mobile, where he played
last season. There are a whole lot
Of worse ball players than Baby
DolP' holding down regular Jobs on
major league teams. Stallings want
ed him, and refused TO waive for a
long time. and there is reason to be-
lieve that McGraw wanted to plant
the long Scandinavian where he can
again lay hands on him. Under Finn
Jake developed into a slashing out
fielder last year. but early this spring
he had the misfortune to hurt mis-
knee and was unable to do much.
He is far and sway the most pOpu-
lar youpgster thai has accompanied
the Giants South IN many DAY. lie
takes the business OF baseball very
seriously and is SO determined to
learn that he made a strong impress
sion on McGraw. and IL Is probably
only the fact that the Giant manager
is already overstocked with outfleld-
ers of greater experience that prompt
ed him 20 send big Bill back.
T HERE is a belief that Stallings'
L withdrawal II waivers on Jacob
son means that McGraw and the BOs-
ton leader are arranging some sort
OF a deal involving players. Stall
lings has little 10 trade outside of
one or two pitchers, and McGraw
seems TO be always willing TO take
on hurleTs. II is said he would like
to have George Tyler or Hub Per-
due. but then that might be said OF
any other manager in the National
League.

ly 81, 100000 in raises in the intangible as
sessments of corporations doing business

pany, whose assessment was decreased

was authorized by the commission on the
ground that the operation of the gov
ernments parcel post system had made

press company sought a larger redue-
tion, maintaining that indications point
ed to a still heavier decrease in the COM
