Dollar for Each Boner
Brooklyn Pilots Idea

Mental lethargy is going 10 be a
costly pastime for the Robins next
spring. Manager Wilbert Robinson has
worked out a system which he hopes
will make his athletes think. Starting
with the first day Of 1926 training at
Clearwater, Fla. the Robins are going
to te fined a nominal sum each time
they pull a homer"
If pitcher fails to cover first base
on hit to the first baSeman. If a
player fails 70 back up a throw. II a
base runner fails to advance to an
extra base at the proper time or If
any OF the thousand and one little
things that make baseball science fail
to be followed. the player committing
the diamond crime will have TO reach
down in his pocket and produce the
sum Of 81.
MY idea is not to punish the play
ers, but 10 make them remember every
time they do something wrong. and
there is no better way Of making a
bali player remember than by fning
him" Uncle Robbie said In discussing
his system EVERY day there Is some
homer pulled and that's one Of the rea-
sons why we're not higher in the race.
Sometimes the mistake Is SO small
that the average fan does not even
notice II. hut nevertheless, 1t is n
chance missed, and next season the
Robins are going to take advdntage or
every opportunity. or else they'll be
broke by the end Of the season.

cert and note Gown the tU!l. orchestrated
score JUS as an operator takes down the
speech Of an orator. Shorthand systems
for music have been developed before.
Perhaps the most important was that de-
vised by the Italian Mussa in 1905. But
that system made ii possible to jot down

HOW 1T STARTED
The Sailors Trousers.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

If yours is d curious mind you have
no doubt been intrigued, as has one
of our readers, on observing a. lad i'm
sailors uniform. by the unusual shape
of his trouSer legs. which as they near
the bottom grow gradually wider, TAX
ing somewhat the shape of a bell.
Whether il is the blue serge of the
sailors Winter uniform or the crisp
white for Summer seas, the trousers
are invaria ablv cut after this peculiar
pattern. It will be noticed. however.
that the officers on board ship wear
trousers that are straight cut and do
not flap at the bottom. 1t is in this
distinction that We have our story.
The strange shape of the sailor
mans trousers had its origin in the
fact that the common seaman is re
uuired. among other things, to scrub
the decks. Ask any man to do work
requiring similar bending and kneel-
ing and he viii don knickers or his
very oldest trousers. Sailors, too,
found their freedom for the work han
dicspped and the casualties in trousers
were not inConsequential Hence the
introduction of trousers which be-
