NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Again team
play in baseball stands forth as the
most powerful force in clubs fight
for the top. The Brooklyn National
league club started its last swing
around the circle today in the lead
by a margin Of three games and it's
all due to the cooperative spirit
the spirit that knows no defeat, with
every man trying his best to do
something that viii help get just
one more run across.
This is the secret OF the Brooklyn
clubs success this year, President
comes injured or is removed for
some other reason, every man on the
clue Is eager to take his place. Will
bert Robinson has made real base

letes who formerly just played ball
Ebbets has confidence in his men.
Before his club left for Pittsburgh
today he told the United Press he
expects the Dodgers to return from
the western trip still in first place.
Ny men are confident and / am
confident" Ebbets said. However,
do not think we are over-confident
We believe we can win and we're
going to keep on hammering away
until we do it.
"Au the players are in fine condi-
ton with the exception of Jake Dau-
bert and we expect him back in the
game within a week or ten days"
Daubert recently slipped bone
in his hip and its pressure on nerve
has been giving him considerable
