were old friends-Mr. Wilbert
Robinson, manager of the Brook
lyns, and Mr. Otto Miller, his as
sistant-committing Sunday crimes
in the fair name of golf.
The aggregate weight of MessrS.
Robinson and Miller is in the corpu-
liant neighborhood of 500 pounds.
Taken by and large they will out
bulk any two men in baseball. 1t
was once said of MI. Robinson that
he was too small to be a horse and
too large to be a man.
Mrs. Robinson is one of the few
big league managers who are toler-
ating golf in the spring camps.
There happens to be a growing be-
lief that golf is detrimental to base
ball progress. Mr.. Robinson is TAX
ing the attitude that nothing can
hurt the kind of baseball his club
sponsors. There are many who be-
lieve him to be correct.
$50 LF never hurt a good ball
NplayCr, and it can't hurt a bad
one commented Mr.. Robinson, as
the philosophic words cascaded riot
ously down his numerous chins.
What about your ball club this
year?' I asked do you think you
are going anywhere?"
"Well, we're going over to Braden-
ton to play the Red SoX," answered
Mr.. Robinson, which I surmised to
be & Flatbushian WiseCraCk.
I leaned against a palmetto tree
until he had dropped his seventh
putt. I marveled at his stupendous
calm when he sang out cheerily, 20,
give me a siX-no, you had better
make it a five"
Returning to the tee, Mr.. Rob-
insOn was more in mood to dis
cuss baseball. 1t is curious how
bad golf hole will jolt a man back
TO business.
HE had just got word that RUDE
Il Il BresSler Of the Cincinnati Reds
had accepted terms. This was
heartening. Bressler is a hitter. Mr..
Robinson tells you he needs hitters
more than anything else. I'VE are
liable to have a hell Of a team this
year" ventured Mr.. Robinson. MAY
be you can't figure us up there with
the Pirates or the Cardinals, but
you gotta figure us to be dangerous,
anyway. We are going to make a
lot of trouble, even if we don't win
any ball games"
He says his 1923 indeld will be
the best he has had since his ire
mendouS shadow first fell across the
Flatbush premises, causing Umpire
Klein, in a moment of CONSERVATION
and surprise, to call the game on
account of darkness. AS to his out

Bedford advanced into the second
round of competition in the finals i'll
the game starting at 10 O'Clock, de-
feating Kendallville, 81 to IT.
Kramer made a free throw for Ken
dallville just before the gun ended
the game.
Both Bedford and Kendallville
staged a desperate battle in the first
half of their tilt, the Stone City
quintet nosing into a 13-to-11 adj
vantage as the period ended. "Tack"
Prentice was the bulwark of the Red
Devils attack, while Rollins was the
big gun of the Bedford drive. Nu-
merous fouls were committed and
near the end of the period Sears,
Bedford center, left the game on
four personal fouls.
Bedford started fast at the re-
sumption of play, when big Pentzer,
backyard, shot a long goal from
the center of the floor, one from the
free-throw line and Miller two long
goals from the side
The best Kendallville could do
was two foul goals and the Devils
called for time with the count stand
ing at 20 to 10.
Crowd Jams In
BY this time the Field House was
fairly we'll filled and it was esti-
mated that fully $4,000 persons
were in the gymnasium. Bedford
pulled fake play and Fitzgibbons
counted an easy goal from under the
hoop. Murray hit one from the side
center to bring the score to "a to IS.
Heign scored a field goal for
kendallyille and Fitzgibbons came
right back with a field goal that
raised the tally to Is to IS.
Hutchins tackled a point to Ken
dallville's total with a free throw.
Pentzer fired at the basket, but
missed. Murray, following up, batted
the ball through the hoop, boosting
the count to % to 16. Pentzer
brought the Stone City fves total
to % with a free throw.
Kendallville took its fourth time
out and Bedford was awarded fre>
throw. Pentzer made it and imme-
diately after Murray made it 80 to
Is with a long, arching field goal.
Murray came back with another
from the same spot.

eleven of them seriously, when a
Brooklyn Manhattan elevated train
crashed into another on the Fulton

nearly all night workers returning
to their homes in Jamaica from
Manhattan and lower Brooklyn.
Wooden cars, the usual cause of the
large number of injuries in colli-

Attempts are apparently being
made to hush up this fact since no
mention is being made of it by Of

on curve over a vacant lot in Eu-

LONG ISLAND BUS
DRIVERS STRIKE
Work 70-Hour, 7-Day
Week

(By Worker Correspondent
Bus drivers of the Richmond Hill
Lines, Inc, went out on strike Sat-
urday against the 10-hour day and
seven-day week and for an increase
in wages over the $50 or S25 av-
erage they are now earning, it was
learned yesterday. They are now
working for so cents an hour with
out day off throughout the year
under a system of speed-up, spying
and discrimination which finally
drove them to strike.
The company, which is owned by
Stephen and William Hanran, has
employed strikebreakers. Several
accidents have occurred and in one
of these man was badly injured.
Still the city authorities permit the
inexperienced drivers to operate
the scab buses. The company OPP
crates one line to Ozone Park and
one to Coney Island.
Workers are fighting for the rec
ognition of their union and declare
that they will remain out until their
demands are granted. A
