Slight enlisted in Chicago last fall

awarding berths in the National
league or making mind bets on how
the liz ole rumpus is going to end.
Don't class those Dodgers too low
Robby and Prexy Ebbets got rid
of two dissatisfied ball players when
they let loose of Stengel and Cut
shaw. The trade with Pittsburgh
brought some young blood to the
team. and young blood is needed
badly in Brooklyn. Robby will not
be the best fixed manager in the
big show by any means, but he
won't be the worst off by a long
shot.
Look over the reserve list and
you'H note that Robby is hanging
on to some batting power; that he
has a pitching staff which may do
a big comeback, particularly with
Al MamauX as an inspiration. And
though the Dodger intield and its
catching staff is mediocre, the team
as a whole will probably hit hard
and if the pitchers should come
through Robby should be a strong
first division candidate.
The Dodgers in reserve are:
Pitchers Appleton. Cheney,
Coombs, Griner. Grimes, Marquard.
Mamaux, Miljus, Mitchell.
Catchers-Snyder, Wheat, Miller,
and Kruger.
Outfelders-Hickman, Johnston,
Myers. Wheat.
Infeld-Daubert. burning. Fitz-
simmons. Olson. O'Mara, O'Rourke,
Ward and Pitt.

NO. 12=THE DODGERS

NO. 12-THE DODGERS.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25-Seldom,
if ever, has a club which won a
championship fallen 10 pieces with
in the short space OF one year.
But this is what happened to the
Dodgers, champions of the National
league in 1916.
They simply withered up. They
lost the punch that carried them to
the top Of the heap, during the off
season. and last summer found
them dragging along like team of
broken-down truck horses.
Some folks have whispered that
wholesale salary reductions as a re-
ward for winning the flag took the
pep out Of the Dodgers, and it is a
certainty that Ebbets' actions in
trimming the payroll did not lend
any fire TO the ambitions of the 1917
team
But that wasn't all. by a long
shot, for the Dodgers just sort of
collapsed, and the pitching staff
1916 was like a bird with a broken
wing last year.
However, Uncle Wilbert Robin
son is still with the Dodgers. He is
still sitting tight in the pilots seat,
and that means something.
Robinson's ability to handle his
players is a big asset to the club,
and Bobby is no SLOUGH as a tacti-
clan if he has the material to car
~ out his campaign plans. SO Rob
byll bear watching when you start
