Dodgers Manager Has a Few
Pertinent Remarks on Ma
tional League Struggle.
By WILBERT ROBINSON,
Manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers

This week ought to tell the story in
the National League race. Tho three
games we are to play with the Phillies
should give us the final answer. and I
am not boasting when I say my club
feels confident OF pulling through. Up
to the last series with Philadelphia, We
have had the edge on Pat Morans gang
all season.
The Braves, in my opinion. have al
most faded out of the picture. But
they are still battling. And they will
give the Phillies a tough tussle in their
series next week II the games between
my club and Moran's don't give US the
answer. But We won't have any soft
picking with the Giants. ourselves.
1 have seen II said that the Brooklyn
club does not carry any fighting spirit.
Maybe they want us to stick our lists
under the umpire's nose every time ne
calls ono against us and to threaten TO
knock on the blocks OF all the opposing
players. II that's a sign OF the asrappy
spirit. then we don't carry II, but
neither did the Athletics, and Connie
Mack's club made quite some progress:
But you ought to hear the talk OF
my players in the club house and on
the bench II you don't believe we have
the spirit. Every man believes he Will
win. and / never saw n ball club working
together smoother.
