ROBINSON. NEW DoDGER FoRTY-FIvE TOMORROW,
 AND IS GOING STRONG

wilbert Robinson, otherwise Uncle Wilbert and 'sRobby, '' the new pilot of Charles Holiday Ebbets' Brooklyn Remnant Dodgers, will celebrate his forty fifth birthday tomorrow. Robin son is a native of Hudson, Mass, and began playing ball in his infancy. He was only fifteen. but big for his age, when he started his professional ca reer with Haverhill Mass. in the New England league. As asbackstop he
 was the sensation of the circuit, and at the tender age of sixteen Robby broke into the major leaga1s. the anti chi1d-lafbor laws not being so strict then now. From 1886 to 1890 Will.
 bert caught for the Athletics, then in
 the old American Association. In 1891
 he went over to the National League
 as a member of the famous Baltimore
 Oriole aggregation He was the main
 backstop for the Birds in 1894, 1895 and
 1896, when Baltimore achieved three National League pennants in a row. his teammates including such distin- guished diamond stars Broutherss
 McGraw, Jennings, Joe Kelly and Will lie KeeIer For several seasons Rob
 by banged the pill for a swatting av-
 craze around the .350 mark. When Bobby became too venerable to serve
 behind the bat for Ned Hap1on's team
 he became famous a. deSeloper of twirfing talent. At Baltimore he help ed to make Joe Corbett, one of the greatest pitchers of the century, and later he joined McGraw's advisory staff staff in New York. McGraw gives the credit to Bobby for trans
 forming the erdatic Marquard from a $11. 900 lemon Into one of the stellar
 men of the Giant pitching staff, and big Jeff Tesreau was another of Rob inson's apt pupils. While helping the Giants to win pennants and running. and running a cafe in Baltimore. Rob inson kept constantly in mind the great ambition of his life, which was to become manager. Tn dealing
 with players Robby's methods are en- tire1y different from those of McGraw 'sMuggsy' rules by fear, Bobby by
 love. When a player makes a break
 Bobby condoles with him and cheers
 him up, assures him that everybody
 makes mistakes, and is so kindly and
 fatherIy that the recreant player is
 filled with determination to deserve
 Robfnson's good opinion. If Bobby doesn't cure the Dodgers of their pen
 nant-dodging habits, their case is hopeless. In any event, he has won
 the respect and admiration of his men, who look up to him as a. sage who knows everything worth knowing about the diamond pastime, and fol- low his instr uctions without dreaming of questioning their soundness l Here's to you. Bobby, and many hap py returns of the day.

NEWTOWN
Especial to the Farmer. ) Grand Levy Incraased.

NeWtoWns June First Se1eCtman w. c. Johnson received notice Friday from Tax Commissioners Corbin that the state board of equalization Of taxes propose to increase Newtown's grand levy by $10O,O0O. Tn view of the fact that the town voted at the last annual meeting to instruct the assessors to increase the former grand levy, an amount sufficient t0 equal the states figures for 1913 which the present board of assessors did attempt to doa this further increase by the state comes as a surprise. It is certainly a pointed rebr1ke to those critics of the board of assessors. for adding anSaver- age of twenty-five per cent. to the tax valuation this year, to have the State tax commission add another five per cent to their figures. Doubtless MT. Corbin knows what class of prop erty in Newtown is under assessed and it is to be hoped the officials will secure this information from him as a.. guide for the work of future assessors.
