new YORK. Aug 17.-Davey
Robertson. Giant outhelder. might

day had 1t not been FOR an injury
ne received playing football
Davey was the crack pitcher Of
the North Carolina A. 4 NJ. college
lu 1910 and 1871 He also played
football on the varsity eleven. and
as the result OF injuries received
on the gridirOn his pitching shoul-
der was not as good as before. BUT
still he continued as pitcher with
an independent team 81 Elizabeth
city. and ne was picked up by the
Giants and given the up and down
los NIcGraw.
The Giant leader decided that
Robertson was not capa bic OF pitch
ing in the big show and eventually
me Aifted 10 Mobile. where ne be-
came an outfelder. IL was a Mo-
bile that Robertson made his mark
as a fy-chaser and when he return
ed 20 the Giants as an outhelder he
promptly made good.
Perhaps Better on.
The reason that Robertson did not
become pitcher is probably an un-
usual one, but without a doubt he
j. better on where he plays today.
Robertson is by no means the
only big league outfelder who start
ed out as a pitcher. Most young
sters who start playing baseball
want 20 be pitchers and gradually
drift 20 some other position. Few
Of the many continue pitching until
they finally land in the major
leagues and few OF the sand lot phe-
MONS who start out 20 be twirlers
