Do You Wonder

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.--Now it is
easy to understand why Southpaw
Dickey Kerr refused to sign with
the Chicago White Sox last season.
Kerr had salary grievance. IN
1919 Kerr kept the World Series
with Cincinnati from being farce
BY his fine pitching. His loyalty,
however. was evidently soon for
gotten. He couldn't agree on salary.
Kerr played with some ineligibles
last year Now that he seeks rein
statement, he stands suspended for
year for so doing.
The case of Pitcher Charley Rob-
ertson brings the spotlight back to
Kerr.
In the spring of last season Rob.
ertson pitched no-hit, no-rlin game
against Detroit in which not a
single Tiger player reached first
base. 1t was one of the greatest
pitching feats in the history OF the
sport.
Robertson became a hero over
night. The fame of that remark

traction of the Sox. 1t would be
conservative to say that Robert

$4,000 to the Chicago club. Fans
