Expected to Be Quiet Affair

Robinson is to be ousted from one or
both of his jobs, although his salary of
$4,000 would be paid until his con-
tract expires. McKeever, however, has
made it rather plain that he win wait
until next year before going after Rob-
insons scalp. The Brooklyn club, he
says, can't afford to pay Robinson his
contract salary and give some one else
big sum to do the work Robinson Is
paid for. Besides, Robinson is equally
certain that he is not going to step
down until his contract expires.

BY HERBERT w. BARKER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

N YEW YORK, December 10.-If
there are any fireworks at the
VI National Leagues annual meet
4 ing, the experts will have lost
the last measure of what self
confidence remains to them.
They have taken it on the chin with
monotonous regularity when they at
tempted to pick winners in actual sport
competition. But most OF them pre-
dicted, and with some show OF con-
fidence, that all would be calm and
peaceful at the meeting of the National
League, opening today at the Waldorf
Astoria, and concluding tomorrow.
Of hand 1t appears that aside from
the election of a president, the league
has little to do that is otherwise than
routine procedure. AS matter OF fact
the presidential election can be classed
as routine business. John A. Heydler,
it is expected, will be reelected for
long term of years and may get pre-
mature Christmas present in the form
of raise in the $4,000 salary he al
ready receives.
Series May Be Ignored.
The st. Louis Cardinals officially will
be named the 1928 league champions,
but it is somewhat doubtful whether
any mention will be made of the late
world series, source Of considerable
lamentation on the part of National
League followers Plans also will be
made for the joint meeting with the
American League in Chicago Thursday.
With this schedule 1t would appear
that few trades will have to come to
the rescue of the base ball writer's. At
the minor league meeting In Toronto 1t
was indicated that the majors COM
pleted several outstanding deals that
they preferred to keep under their coll
lective hat until the time came for their
own league meetings. These may come
to light in the next two days or per-
haps not until Thursday at the joint
, meeting.
There is at least one trade, either
made or in the making, by which the
New York Giants would add good
right-handed pitcher to their somewhat
! shaky mound staff. Rumor has had it
| that John McGraw would not object to
! finding Pete Donohue or Adolf Luque,
or both, in a giant uniform next season.
| The Pittsburgh Pirates also are on the
hunt for pitchers. and may be per-
| Suaded to part with Glenn Wright,
great shortstop no more than two years
/ ago. The Chicago Cubs, 1t Is supposed,
will make grab for any third base
man that can hit.
Brooklyn Pot Boiling.
It may be that all the National
Leagues sensations will be developed
at a meeting of the Brooklyn club at
Ebbets Field. Wilbert Robinson, presi-
dent-manager, has been the target for
some very plain-spoken criticism from
| Stephen McKeever and members of
! his supporting stockhOlding faction.
