New York, Oct. 3.-John McGraw
still stands today the best friend vii.
bert Robinson has, in baseball. But II
winning ball game at this crucial per
iod in the fate of the Brooklyn Dodgers
would have fractured that feeling, it is
through no fault of McGraw's that he
is still high in Robinson s estimation.
Despite the hardest efforts of Me.
Graw and his cohorts the Brooklyn club
is hanging to the top in the race for
the honor and final blow off meeting
the Boston Red Sox in the worlds Sc.
ries. Philadelphia is now full game
behind, so Robbie has driven his charges
into position from where they will
have better chance at the windup,
which now is only three games away for
the Dodgers and four for the Phillies.
The Dodgers have three contest left
with the Giants and the Phillies will
clash with the Braves four more times,
two of these tilts being on the schedule
for this afternoon.
The Dodgers have reached the peak of
their efforts, but if they hold up now
as they have in the past, their crowns
are won.
-" JACK Coomps came Back.
Jack Coombs, star for years, and now
the greatest comeback IN baseball, gets
full credit for preserving the friendship
between Robinson and McGraw. Faced
by Ferdie Schupp, who rapidly is be-
coming the most feared left handler in
the National league, he right handed his
way to victory over the shutout route.
1t was the fifth time tins year he has
raced the 'Glants without loss.
