Uncle Robby essayed to pitch
Ruether yesterday, and that came
within an ace of costing him another
game. He ditched Ruether when that
moundsman was hit five times in sue

Vance, who saved the game. Had it
gotten away from him, the Brooklyns
chances would look much glimmer
than they do. The moral to be drawn
is. that if Brooklyn wants to win this

begin grooming Ruether for an exhi-
