MOVE ON TO DUST
VETERAN MANAGER
Vice President McKeeVer AS
sertS Fans Want Boss OF
Dodgers Deposed.

BY the Associated Press.
n VIEW YORK, August 14,-Over
N BROOKLYN way. they're cunning
for Wilbert Robinson, portly/
manager of the Brooklyn
Robins for the last IA years.
A we'll developed move TO GUST Robin
son from the pilot seat at the end OF the
1929 season, when his contract expires,
is under way, and behind the move, &C
cording to reliable authority, is Stephen
w. McKeever vice president and treas
urer Of the club.
McKeever says his effort to remove
Robinson is being made as a result OF
deluge Of letters from BROOKLYN fans
protesting against Uncle Wilbert6
handling of the Robins this year. After
starting out the season in winning
fashion the Robins began dropping
down the ladder until they now stand
sixth in the National League standing
and with little hope of ending the cam
paign in any higher position.
Receives $4,000 a Year.
Robinson holds a $4,000 contract to
manage the Robins in 1929 AS clue
president this year, he re-
ceives a salary of s25.000.
Special dispatches from Pittsburgh to
New York newspapers today quoted
Robinson as saying he had no intention
of resigning under fire.
Judge McKeever has no authority
whatever to GUST me-" Robinson was
quoted as saying. II have been engaged
to manage the Brooklyn Robins. of
which 1 am also the president. and l
hold an ironclad contract with the club
that still has another year to run. I
intend to fulfill it.
"I am doing the best can under the
most trying conditions and feel owe
1t to my other employers on the club 10
stick by my lob and fulfill my obiig2-
ton to them. l. therefore have no
intention Of resigning before the eS-
piration OF my contract"
Given Credit by Neutrals.
Generally speaking. neutral observers
felt that Robbie" had done very we'll
to keep his make shift lineup. In the
running as long as he did. He always
has been conceded a front-rank posi-
ton as developer Of pitchers, and out
side of the hurting staff the Robins of
1923 had little to recommend them
selves as pennant contenders. Under
the circumstances the pitchers have
done we'll enough. but they can't win
ball games without high class defensive
support as we'll as a consistent day-in
and dav-out offensive
The Robins entered the present cam
paign as dark horses" chiefly because
the team had been rebuilt during The
off-season. OF the new faces on the
lineup some made good notably Del
Bissonette. the slugging first bassmar
but the others we're no improveniH'''
over the men they replaced.
