D0DGER CHIEF
MAS CANDIDATE
Wilbert Robinson of Brook
Ign Wanted Job Offered
to Miller Higgins.

Had not Capt. Huston gone scalp
hunting in Europe. Wilbert Robinson
and not Miller Higgins probably
would now be heralded as the new
leader Of the New York Yankees
The cap and the Robin leader are
fast friends. pals in fact, and be-
cause Of this Robbie's name was
linked frequently though vaguely
with the job then held by Bill Dono-
van.
He was one Of those selected by
the spectators as likely choice Of
the New York American league club.
But when Huston temporarily sew
cred his connection with the 1alpi-
tatiug past1me and went TO France
RObinsOn's chance became only q
ghost and a sicRIy one TO boot
Robinson perhaps would have gath
cred fame in abundance had he been
the fortunate choice Of Col Rupert
With the Yankees he would have
been given free sway in directing the
team without the least dictGtiOn from
those in proprietOrship.
He would be in q position 20 make
his own trades and his own purchases
and grip a full responsibility. and
either make himself renowned or else
prove a failure like the many that
preceded him.
Robbie would have been more ap-
Dreciated in New York than he is in
Brooklyn. because over there he is
better known.
But Robinson lost when the captain
elected himself TO play bigger game
Therefore he viii remain here in
Brooklyn and try TO return the
Robins 10 a proper footing, mean

GOLFnG

New York. Nov. 10.-Trade groups
have shown the way in golf organiza-
ton. Seldom II ever IS a convention
held without recourse TO a nearby
links for a golf tournament lasting
one or two days. and it is a solemn
fact that the cities which have been
chosen from year TO year as the meet
ing places have been known as well
for their good golf links.
Last spring at a gathering OF busi-
ness men engaged in furnishing the
trade certain necessities a New York
golfer made an eloquent plea that the
place Of the next fall and winter
meeting be held where good golf
links abounded. for he pointed out
that of the 5000 members Of their or
ganization four-fifths were golfers
who enjoyed most OF all the golfing
tournament held finder the auspices
Of their own body.
His talk was heartily applauded.
and before the meeting broke up IL
was voted that one OF the business
sessions should be held in the even
ing in order mat a full day M ght be
spent on tho links Perhaps no golf
ers enjoy their play more than these
men. for the winner OF a champion
ship or a first division prize feels that
he is the EolfinE peer OF them all in
his chosen linS Of work, be IL profess
ssoual or business.
But now there is talk OF college or
CARNATIONS being formed which viii
embrace the gOlfing graduates Of tho
whole land. A Yale or Harvard Golf
Association championship with play
ers coming from all over the country
would bring the devotees all the
closer. Championships are as much
necessary for the resultant minglinE
OF the players and the forming of new
and pleasant affiliations as the win
ming and bestowin@ of titles. and any
new scheme for the furthar!nE OF
Cclfing relations. especially among
the gre duate COLLEGE men, is sure TO
meet with approval from all the golf
ers OF all the colleges and universe
ties.
