ambition to get into that line of work
and settle down for all time and quit the
boxing game. His plan was to follow his
own system of a vegetarian diet for his
patrons. He will probably arrange to
take care of challengers for his title be-
fore leaving England, as under the con-

Club he must defend the belt every six

Broke in Governor
/. Tener. as a Pitcher

WilbGrt Robinson, the new manager
OF the Brooklyn National league team,
announced his training plans for next
season at a luncheon attended by Of
'ficers Of the Brooklyn club and news
paper men recently. The rockies
will start for Augusta. Ca. on Febru-
ary 20 and the regulars on March 1.
The team will remain in the southern
camp until March 25 and then. will
work its way north. playing exhibi-
tion games. and arrive home April 1.
Games win be played in New York
with the New York and Philadelphia
Americans and the Newarks of the
international league. 1t Is stated that
Governor Tener of Pennsylvania, who
is slated to. be the next president of
the National league, has promised to
throw out the first. ball at Ebbets
field next season: Manager Robinson
caught for Mr.. .Tener when the latter
broke in as pitcher.
f.. Robinson said he would be on the
lookout for several experienced big
leaguers, one. or two right handed
batters to alternate with the present
left handlers in the outfield, and would
follow generally the system of John
]. McGraw. and Ned Hanlon.

Loss of Coach Robinson
May Hit the Giants Hard
By SAM: CRANE.

be the manager of the Giants.
A winning bunch of pitchers is still
considered by lots of people. includ-
ing the writer. as half OF victorious
teams assets. And to reinforce that
opinion. will. say that Wilbert Rob-
inson. as coach, was about fifty-hfty
of the aforesaid Giants pitching ag-
gregation.
Now, when Robbie is. taken away
from that STAFF, the percentage of
their ability falls somewhat - and
that same somewhat will amount to
a percentage that may ..be of some
very nifty use when the. champion
ship race OF 1914 is under way.
I hate to see Robbie get away from
the Giants. Any man that could bring
I-Marquard out of the slump he was in
for two years and develop him. from
| q lemon" of national reputat ation. into
a pitcher who won 10 straight games
Ia record that was only equaled by
Tim Keefe, and caused sensation

q year ago-as Robbie did-must bs
some coach.
| And that is not all that Robbie has
| done Tesreau was a big fellow who
| had nothing but his size to recon-
mend him. He had lots of speed, but
nothing else. Robbie induced him to
| try a splitter. and from that time the
I"big bear hunter" from the Ozarks
became famous.
The San Francisco call., 1913-12-02
So we lose one Robbie.


/. He goes to Brooklyn. where he. is
expected to straighten. out the very
much entagled. situation of the Super
bas' pitching staff. and. believe me, If
he can do that Brooklyn will not be
in the second. division next. season;
and possibly the Giants will not be In
the first. =
McGraw is. to be commended, no
doubt, for digging UP openings for
his favorites, whereby they. can be
launched into managerial positions
that are both lucrative and; prospec-
tive of great prominence. He has
done this with Bresnahan and Dahlen
and Bowerman and others, and. the
last dispesation he has seen fit to
agree to Is the transfer of. Wilbert
Robinson to. the Brooklyn club as
manager of the Superbas.
Whether this latest scheme Is to
assist the National league to equalize
the playing strength. Of the various
teams in the league, / know not; but
I can not compose myself to the idea
that, by allowing Robinson to go to
some other club and still cling to
Merkle and Snodgrass as prospective
Giants for the season OF 1914 Is fol-
lowing the general opninion that the
Giants prospects for next season are
over brilliant. and am fully cognf-
zant and take into due consideration
that John j. McGraw is still and will
