that Hoover returned TO sculling in
1919, when, while working at a pa
per mill at international Falls on
the Canadian border, he decided TO
send for a shell and pass his idle
hours cruising about the picturesque
Rainy river country.
Returning 10 Duluth in the spring
OF 1921. Hoover took up scUlling in
earnest and adopted a style OF his
own. Critics at first advised against
training in such peculiar fashion,
but the coming champion was per-
sistent and was seen clocking off the
mile and a quarter course on St.
Louis bay in remarkably fast time.
The champions first step toward
fame was on July 4. 1921 when he

races at Buffalo month later. Here
he captured the national title by
winning three straight races, defeat

mile dash, the national champion

singles, Hoover accomplished some
thing which only two other scullere
have in the history Of the sport.
Capturing the national title was

the titleholder and he trained faith
fully all during the winter.
His victories in the preliminaries
and finals OF the Gold Challenge cup
race at Philadelphia early IN June

to England. where he won the
world title.
AS a reward for his fame, Duluth
admirers have presented him with

During a recent conversation with

Then Carpenter, weighing under

Gene Robertson, the 2S-year-oId
utility inielder of the Browns, step
ped from the collegiate diamond 10
the major leagues when he was 10
years old.
Gene had the remarkable record
Of stepping from the college field
into a star role in his first major
league game. The Browns were
playing the New York Yanks three
years ago. Herbert Thormahlen,
then the sensation Of the American
league, was pitching. With the
score tied IN the eighth inning Ger
Der. the regular shotstop for ST.
Louis, was injured and Robertson,
the St. Louis university boy, was
sent to take his place.
For II innings the teams battled
with a &c tie Robertson, first up
in the last half of the nth. cut a
sharp single TO center. Ping Bodie
fumbled the hit and the wideawake
collegian dashed for second, and
made it in safety He took third on
an infeld out and swept across the
plate with the winning run a mo-
ment later when the Browns worked
the squeeze" play.
This sowing convinced the
Browns directors that Robertson
was a live kid. They sent him out
to the minors for three years 70 gain
needed experience. When he finished
up the 1921 season at shOrts.op for
Joplin with a batting average Of
347 the Browns decided that they
could use him TO plug the gaps in
their pennant machine If injuries
cost the services Of older players.
Robertson throws from the right
side, but, like Sisler and Williams, is
left-handed hitter. He drives a
long ball and, considering his COM
paratively slight physique, gets tire
mendous power into his dives.
Gene began his career by playing
shortstop for Loyola academy. His
hitting attracted attention there and
he later became a star IN amateur
leagues while at ST. Louis university.
