Did the injury jinx cheat the New
York Yankees out of the sweet
bread of the 1890 world series?
Undoubtedly they would have
made a better showing:
IL Chick Fcwster hadn't been
beaned early this spring.
II Babe Ruth hadn't been bitten
by q chigger.
If Duify Lewis hadn't twisted a
leg.
]! Ping Bodie hadn't cracked his
ankle.
II Messrs. Muddy Ruel ard Truck
Hannah hadn't been bruised up.
II Carl Mays hadn't waited until
the last leg of the season to get go
ing.
II Jack Quinn hadn't been a Grip
pie part of the year.
II Miller Higgins hadn't picked
his pitchers thy way he did.
And a lot of other ifs that clog
the machines of any baseball club
during q hot campaign.
At that, those smuggling Yankees
better to have gotten into the big
series.
But the second and third places In
the big races aren't so bad. They'll
get their little divvy by-and-by.
Baseball is a game of chance and
breaks and luck and reverses and
go-aheads, etc.
That's what makes 1t the greatest
game in the whole darn potpouri of
worlds and stars and things and crea-
lures.
But don't let anybody kid you -
that New York ball>club, which did
MT finish first, was a picturesque
sight to see in action, and only two
million of 107 million people got to
look 'em over.
They were some dynamiters, and
they'll never, never be forgotten,
regardless of who's who next year.

n 81 the clubs pitching staff.
During 1884 and the following sea-
son Tener and Robinson proved to
be 4 very effective battery. Many
years later Pitcher Tener was xs,,,t-
ed governor of Pennsylvania I'm
forwards became the CHIEF micatloj
Of the National Baseball IandiSS
In 1886 Robinson Joined aae Phil
adelphia Athletics Of the American
Association and in his first major
league game as catcher, scored the
only run made by his team. which
was beaten 4 to 1 by the New York
Metropolitans.
Robinson's fame as q catcher and
batter as we'll as a fast baserun-
ner is closely allied with Baltimore,
where he spent many years of his
baseball career. Back In the 9Os
with McGraw, Jennings, Keller,
Kelley and others, Robinson estab-
lished an enviable reputation as a
great player when Ned Hanlon's
famous Orioles won the champion
ship three years in succession.
After McGraw became manager or
the New York Giants in 1902 Robin
son remained in Baltimore and play
ed for several seasons with the In
[ terrational League club there.

Robinson vas ~singularly SUCCESSFUL
and for several seasons he assisted
= his old friend McGraw In this de-
partment. He made several trips to
AShe spring training camps of the
zs;ants after he had ceased to be an
active player. AS a pitchers coach
with the New York Nationals he
brought out RUDE Marquard, who
contributed his share to the win
ming OF three successive pennants
In 1911, IL ard '13.
Robinson began his management
Of the Brooklyn team in 1914 and
two years, later made them cham
pions of their league. He per-
suaded President Ebbets to secure
the services of Vanguard and Ma
maux when these pitchers were on
their way to the minor leagues and
they are still with him now that he
has landed his club for the con
time az q big factor in the world
series.
Never q martinez with his men
! Robinson seems to have a innate
power Of controlling his players. dis
playing q sort Of fatherly interest
in them and by establishing a bond
OF confidence and camraderie with
them gets the best that is In every
member Of his team either on or on
the playing field.

WHAT THEY SAY
Bill RaIidcn

Bill harden
Catching Is an easy job in the
major leagues now,-thinks Bill Rar-
iden of the Reds. who cal remem-
Der when players sharpened spikes
before each game. He says:
Catching Is an easy Job now
compared to what it used to be. 1t
is easier in several ways. You
don't have to be watching baserun-
ners like you ono had to do. The
boys are more careful how they
slide into the plate. There are no
mean base runners in the National
League. l remember the time when
every club had two or three men
who would come into the plate with
their feet in the air and cut your
uniform right off il you didn't get
out of the way. They would do the
same thing at second base. The
players of today seem to realize
there is nothing in this kind of
work. They don't deliberately try
TO hurt an infelder or catcher. They
slide low"

Wonder how the fans will take to
the announcement that the Mass

twice refused TO authorize a bout be-
tween Jack Dempsey and Bill Bren-
nan?
Judging by the crowds which have

sey toy with an inferior foe, one
might expect u wave OF protest to roll

The fans seem to want to see
Dempsey and the commission may
have made an unpopular move in
barring the bout with Brennan.
Brennan can't feel complimented.
either, because the action was taken
on the ground that Big Bill is a long
way from being a logical opponent
for the champion.
To many, however. the action will
look good. Dempsey Is paid such
prodigious sums of money for ap-
pearing that It's n good thing not to
encourage set-ups. Naturally, penn,
sey and his manager, kearns, Will
stage set-ups whenever and as oftcn
as possible.
II the action of the boxing COM
mission binders then a little bit IN
their efforts to run a championship
belt into a million wampum, why it's
a commendable action.
It's all right for Jack to be a mil
lionaire kid, but let him work a little
harder for the money.
Dempsey won his way to the front
by fighting set-ups. He beat plenty
of set-ups and by so doing he be-
came Wizards logical opponent. HIS
way up the ladder was made easy Tor
him and, when he was given the OPP
portunity, he made good and wallop-
ed the champion.

Now, why not let Him lOa awhile.
Let him wait while all the available
candidates get together and stage an
elimination contest. In h II way All
the set-ups can be cast aside II a
man selected to meet Dempsey VINO
will have some chance of putting up
a battle.
Who'll that be?

FIRST BLOOM IS
 ON AVERAGE DATE

The first cotton bloom from Faulk ner county reached the Log Cabin Democrat today. It was picked on last Saturday, June 19, at 4 o'clock, by Kit Nash, a negro tenant on the J. E. Little plantation. The cotton was planted early on black land and is of the Rowden variety, and MT. Little says Nash is one of his best tenants.
 The date for the first 1920 bloom is almost exactly the average for the past 13 years, which is June 20. The earliest bloom reported during that period was June F, 1916, and the latest was July ?, 1907.
 As shown by Log Cabin Democrat files first blooms were brought to this office each year since 1906 on dates as follows: 1919, June 26; 1918, June 14; 1917, June 24; 1916, June 12; 1915, June 15; 1914, June 15; 1913, June 20; 1912, June 15; 1911, June 16; 1910, June 28; 1909, June 22; 1908, June 16; 1907, July ?.

In it's original decision the court sustained the contention of the de- fendant that Arthur was miner. in- asmuch as he was working in bauxite mines in Saline county, and had void ed his insurance policy by failing to notify the insurance organzation and pay an additional premium. The con- tention of the beneficiary was that the insured was not miner, as he was not engaged in underground work. but was only laborer employed for surface work at the mines.
 Reversal of a decision by the Ar kansas supreme court is an unusual although not unprecedented procedure. and the court seldom grants rehear- ings on it's decisions. Mrs. Arthur was represented by Attorneys R. w.. Robins and R. G. Bruce of Conway.

 The Summers case was a friendly suit brought in the Faulkner chan cery court to test the validity of cer- tain provisions of the act of the last special session of the Arkansas Leg islature amending a previous act by the regular session which created the Conway and Damascus road district.
