Dodgers Need
More Pitchers
to Figure Now

EROM present Indications It ap-
l. pears that what Manager Robin
son Of the Brooklyn Dodgers needs
mostly Is pitchers.
The hurting corps as made up now
hasn't been delivering In the manner
that had been anticipated.
The great Dazzy Vance, voted the
most valuable player in the National
League last season. has been having
tough time 10 date He's only shown
flashes OF his 1924 form. when he
blazed through the campaign sensa-
tioually.
Grimes. the other outstanding acc.
has faIred about the game as has
Vance. He's been good one day, poor
another. The failure Of these two 70
come UP 20 last seasons efforts. plus
tho retirement Of Bill Doak. has put
a crimp in the Brooklyn advance.
The one bright spot OF the Robin
son mound forces has been Rube
Ehrhardt. who has hurled a pretty
nifty article OF ball ever since the
start Of the campaign. Tiny o.
borne has done only $3.50.
Several Of the rockies that looked
good in spring training have failed to
deliver. And the Brooklyn ivory
hunters are now out seeking new
talent.
Good hitting and defensive play
have been the big factors in keeping
tho Dodgers up In the race thus far.
But II the gunners we're showing to
better advantage the teams standing
would be considerably higher than It
