BROOKLYN HAS
LONG WINDERS
Forty-three Extra Innings Games Sc
Far in Big Leagues With
Brooklyn In Six Of

by Henry L. Farrell, United Press
Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, May 12-Uncle Wil.
bert Robinson. the Baltimore butcher
and the boss of the Brooklyn base
balleTs, has the long distance kings
of the majors.
The tendency of the Robins to "a
any distance after a ball game has
made them the prize mara thoners Of
the year and has run them into two
worlds records.
With the help Of the Braves, they
set a new distance mark of twenty
six innings and they also hung up a
new record of sixty-seven innings In
four days.
Forty-three extra inning games so
far in the two big leagues have given
the fans a generous allotment OF bar
gain bills.
Brooklyn has engaged in six extra
inning games this year for total of
ninety innings. The St Louis Cards
have also gone through SIX long time
sessions, but only for sfxty-four in
nings.
The Cubs and Braves have played
in a quartet; the White So1 and the
Pirates, the Red Sox and the Ath-
Ie.ics have engaged in three; the
Tigers, the Reds and the Phils in
two each, and Washington, the
Yanks, Cleveland and the Giants in
one each,
The Browns alone haven't been
forced TO work overtime.

+ The opening game of the Iowa
league will be played in Keokuk this
coming Sunday at o'clock.

in real old-fashioned style, with a
parade of players in automobiles and
| the band out for concert at the

/ Standard Four grounds, on account
of the regular park not being ready

as the club is arranging to put up
some temporary seats on the Stand
ard Four grounds for next Sunday.
The first game in the new park will
be played on Sunday, May 80, it is
planned.
While the Standard Four grounds
have no fence around them. the Off
Gals of the local club believe they
can rely on the honor OF the local
people to help them out in the mat
ter OF admissions, and it is expected
that every fan who attends will give
his so cents to the men at the toll
gates. The opening games prices all
over the league are so cents. Suisse
quent games will be charged for at
the rate OF 35 and % cents.
According to local officials, the
opener could have been transferred
to Fort Madison, but the local peo-
pie want baseball and the directors
feel that it is due them to have the
opener here as scheduled. For that
reason they are going to temporarily
fix up the Standard Four diamond,
and expect that people will show by
their attendance whether or not they
want baseball here.
The direct auto route to the park
will be out Main street, and street
cars viii reach the park via the Nc
