ROBB|E. OFFERS
To STEP DOWN

NEW YORK. May is. IT e
Brooklyn baseball club had another
managerial crisis on it's hands today
as result of the declaration of
Wilbert Robinson that he is quite
willing to step down from the
active management of the club
provided he is retained as club
president and is permitted to serve
out the balance OF his managerial
contract as chief scout. The
rotund pilot has been criticized
freely because of the poor showing
of the club, which is in last place
in the National League.
If the directors on the club who
are opposed to Robinson accept his
offer, the club will be carrying a
$25,000 ivory hunter.
The statement of the goaded
manager revived reports that the
club might be sold to Paul Block,
newspaper owner who offered TO
buy 1t last year.

they swing forward, and that
action will enable you to swing
diagonally, seemingly, across
the ball.. You will have to
accustom yourself to this diagO-
nal action across the ball, from
the inside out. Oddly, while YOU
appear to go diagonallY across
it, the club actually goes straight
through it. Whereas, if you try
to swing straight through it,
the club will cut across it,
usually, from the outside in.

STEPS UP

BY George A. Simpson

Less than a year ago, NJ. F.
Mccarthy, of Beaver Dam,
took up this game of golf that
steadily gains adherents and,
today, Mccarthy is edglng into
fast company here.
Mccarthy is entered in the quail.
fYing rounds of the perennial Chevy
Chase tourney which starts today
He is not expected to ge: into the
first or second flight because he
has not been playing golf over the
stretch of years as some OF the
entrants.
However, Mccarthy, according to
golf experts. is one Of the real
gems of District golfdom and be-
fore long he'll have his name
spoken along with other top
flotchers. He lashes a powerful
drive down the fairway and is
growing more seasoned and man.
aged to win the fifth flight IN this
years Washington Golf and Coun-
try Club tourney.
He has what is termed base
ball swing, but the point in any
game is to beat your opponent
and Mccarthy seems to be doing
this without much difficulty.
Probably his baseball swing
comes from his active days ON
the diamond as Mccarthy was
one of the leading sandlOtterS
here a couple Of seasons ago.
Entry blanks have been circulated
for the eighth national amateur
public links championships, August
g. z, s. 9 and 10, at the Forest Park

With but few exceptions, notably
Alexander and johnson, of the
Tigers; Averill, of the Indians, and
Swanson, of the Reds, the bright
young men from the minor leagues
are hitting nothing except maybe
the hay at night.
They are going hungry in the
midst of vast prodigallty, for to
date the National League has smote
1T home runs to Sc in the Ameri-
can, and it seems that everybody
and his little brother are intent on
making a mugg out of he much
aggrieved pitcher. In fact, If it
gets any worse, it will be only right
if they play the rest of The aver
ages on a basis of SO0-or-no-count.
It is all the more disturbing, there
fore, that so many of the big-money
buys are unable to do themselves
any good.
There is Dick Porter, for ex.
ample. He was supposed TO be
fOOl.prOOf hitter down i'm
Baltimore, but, to date, all he
has to show in the American
League is .214, against IDs In
$50. The Indians finally took
him gently but firmly aut Of
there and and right now he is
sitting ON the bench in highly
sensational manner.
So is Charley Colbert, who came
| to the Cardinals from Rochester
with $40 record. He was hitting
only .219 when they pulled him out
of the lineup some days ago. and
yesterday he got back again long
enough to go hitless in three ad-
ditienal times at bat.
Scarrett, of the Red Sox, hit 1854
in the minors last year, but un-
officially today he was MT much, If
anything, over 200. Hal Rhyme. of
the same outfit, is around 200, too,
although he hit .S12 on the coast
last year,
This might be worse, at that, as
Earl Sheely, another Coast Lacquer,
is proceeding to prove. The Pirates
iuggled their man-power to make
room for Sheely, who hit 1881
! against Class AA pitching last year
and, according to all accounts, never
should have escaped from the major
leagues In the first place. Today.

DISHES AND DISEASE

workers are laying increasing stress
on the relation Of one to the other.
During the present influenza cpl

calling attention to the danger that
turks in dishes that are improperly
washed. ~s4
Disease germs, they state, are often
transferred from dishes, glasses and
eating utensils that have not been
properly sterilized. at is obvious, y
runs a statement by the U. S. public
health service, "that complete sterili-
cation of knives, forks spoons and
dishes in restaurants should be a
common practice since great numbers
of people, with all kinds of germs in
their mouths either place the same
utensils in their mouths or have such
intimate contact with them as tC
make them dangerous for use by
