ROBINSON Pins HIS
Faith in MARQUARD
Pilot of Dodgers Declares His South
paw Is lust as Good as Ever.

Brooklyn. July 15.-If every one Of
the Brooklyn pitchers was in as fine
form as Rube Marquard. a great load
would be lifted from the mind Of
wilhert Robinson. As it is. however.
the Robin chief has only Reuben,
Coombs and CadOre who appear to be
in proper shape. and three pitchers
at this stage of the season are not
enough to keep a club up in the race.
Although many predicted Marquard
would not be Of much assistance to
Robbie this season. the big fellow
appears to be improving rapidly, and
in his last performance gave a mas
terful exhibition. striking out three
men in a single inning. II Rube could
overcome his prOnCnCss TO become
unsteady when the pace gets tight he
would be among the leading pitchers
in the National LeaEuc. Robbie is
convinced that soon ne will attain
that form. and that he will be a great
help to the DODGERS.
Robbie knows the faults OF Marquard
better perhaps than any other man in
baseball. He developed the left-hand-
er for the Giants and recently helped
him to rehabilitate himself when 1t
appeared that Rube was through for
major league service for all time.
And when Robbie declares he believes
Marquard is as good as ever and that
he will help the team in the future,
he justiies attention.
Talk OF a shake-up pervadCs the
Brooklyn camp. but definite infOrma-
tiOn concerning what is going to hap
pen is not available. Robbie refuses
to discuss his intentions. but he
makes no secret Of the fact that he
is dissatisfied with the playing Of
certain members Of his team.

BURNS LEADS Other
names IN BASEBALL
Smiths and Joneses Once Held the
Spotlight, but No More.

New York, July 1.-THE good old
family trees OF the Smiths and the
Joneses have been pretty we'll rep
resented in baseball for a number
Of years. But neither the Smiths nor
the Joneses have ever been able to
claim the distinction Of having three
sprouts from their family trees i'm the
major league spotlight at one time,
such as the family Burns claims to-
day.
Three major league stars who are
in the midst of their baseball careers
represent the old Scotch family. They
are George J. Burns, Giant ouefelder:
Eddie Burns. Philly catcher, and
George Burns. first baseman of the
Detroit Tigers. Every one of this
trio Is a star, and unless the war
claims one or all Of them, or in
juries interfere with their baseball
activities, the Burns trio will be good
for some years to come in the big
show.
George Burns. of the Giants, has
often been rated as the greatest all
around OUttielder in the National
League. and of the three he is per-
ha1s the most valuable player. 50
tar this year his fielding and throw
ing have been superb. and he is keep
ing in the race for batting hOnors.
/ HuShie Jennings recently declared
that Of all the stars in the Giant
constellation Burns stands out as the
( brightest, and this, coming from the
famous Tiger manager is some trib-
ute.
First Baseman Burns. Of the Tigers.
Z IS serving his fourth full season as
member Of the Detroit club. Al
| though he is seldom ranked as an
! equal of Hal Chase in the art of
cavortinS around the initial station,
ne Is ball player any big league
/ CIuD would be glad to grab, and he
! Is only - years old. Each year his
work with the Detroit club shows
marked improvement. for his fielding
/ becomes more polished and he can
hammer the ball around a go Clip
/ season in and season out.
Eddie Burns, second catcher with
the Phillies. is now In his fourth full
season as member of the Quaker
town club, and although an injury
carly in the seas-n kent him back, he
/ H. considered one of the most vaIu-
able players on Pat Moran's team
| Eddie is a glutton for work. and If il
wasn't for the fact that Moran has
a star in Bill Killifer, Eddie would
I get all and perhaps more work than
he could handle. The Phiry back
! stop isn't as heavy sticker as the
two other representatives Of the Burns
family. but he makes up for it in every
other way. You've gotta hand the
Burns family A little credit. 1t has
helped 10 do its bit for the gran ole
