ROBBY LEANS
HEAVILY ON
LEFT|ES
Always Keeps SouthpaW
Handy to Take Regular
Turn in Box

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Ever since
Wilbert Robinson became manager
Of the Robins he always had an
experienced southpaw ready to take
his regular turn in the box. But
Robbie recently cast aside Dutch"
Ruether and will gamble on one OF
his young southpaws coming
through next season. The rotund
one, who is convalescing at a hos
pital in Baltimore from his recent
illness, will take seventeen pitchers
South and among them will be a
flock of young southpaws.~
Frank Dutch" Henry may take
Ruether's place next season. This
youngster was with the team last
season, but was later farmed out
TO the New Orleans club. He won
nine games with the Pelicans and
was considered the best southpaW
in the Southern Association. The
fans in New Orleans couldn't under
stand how Henry was waived out
of the league.
Henry pitched a couple or gooo
games for the Robins against the
Giants and the Cubs, but against
the other teams he proved ineffec
tive. Robbie is counting on him to
take his regular turn on the mound
during the coming season.

TURNER ON MUTUAL MAT

Joe Turner, the local wrestler,
has met and conquered wrestling
stars from all corners Of the
world during the present season
of wrestling that Jack Garrison is
promoting as an added attraction
with the burlesque shows at the
Mutual Theater. True, Turner has
on one or two occasions been forced
to take another "crack" at one of
the lineup that Garrison has trotted
out, but the local wrestler has al
ways "got his man." whether it be
the first time they met or on a re-
turn match.
Tonight's match will have Teddy
Betz from Worcester, Mass, the
first representative from the New
England States to appear at the
Mutual. He, too, as the others have
done. comes to Washington with a
string of victories to his credit.
Betz Is young, less than twenty
four, and Jack Garrison assures
the fans that the "show" tonight
will be well worth while. The
match between Betz and Turner
will be for two out Of three falls. no
time limit, and will commence i'm
mediately after the performance.

Dempsey does not odlSSlpate.
He has no so-called bad habits.
He lives clearly. But he is just
doing nothing when he should be
boxing as often as possible. No
man can climb to the top over
the rough course taken by Demp-
sey and then take his ease under
the linden tree, not and remain at
the top.
Tom Gibbons has laid claim to
the heavyweight title through his
wise little manager, Eddie Kane.
That is but a gesture. Dempsey
is the titleholder, even though
idle.
"Titles are won and lost in the
ring" growls Dempsey, from his
retreat in California, and he is
absolutely right. Gibbons and
Kane may yell their lungs out
and change this not a jot nor
title.
It is possible, nay, probable,
that Kane is talking in an effort
to create an atmosphere which
will bring Gibbons and Dempsey
together again, this time in New
York. Many ring followers be-
lieve today that Gibbons has
much the best chance of all the
heavyweights to succeed to Demp-
sey's title. If there are enough,
Gibbons and Dempsey may battle
once more.
On the other hand, if Kanc's
efforts fall flat and Dempsey has
to loaf through another year, the
champion may never again enter
the ring. Idleness will have
Slapped his ambition. Yes, and
another year Of doing nothing
may prepare him for that defeat
which comes to every man soon
or late.
