|11;:TODAYS ::
opORTORIALI
By KIRK MILLER -.

Probably the most forlorn
man in baseball today is the
portly manager of the Brook
lyn Robins-Wilbert Robinson
whose only consolation now
sesms to be that of the little
boy who went out in the garden
and ate worms.
Uncle Robbie has taken lick
ing all around this spring, what
with having the National
Leagues greatest pitching fig
ure, Dazzy Vance, a stubborn
hold-out until today, and dis
covering that Glenn Wright,
the former Pirate star short
stop, whom he acquired in
trade for Jess Petty and Harry
Riconda, has throwing arm
that is about as useless as
Venus de Milo's.
Not only that, Robbie knows
this will probably be his last
year as manager of the Flat
bush team, because the Nc
Keever gang who hold the whip
hand in the Brooklyn owner
ship, have vowed not to renew
their relationship with him.
Robby doesn't mind that so
much, as he has seen the war
clouds gathering around him
for some time, but he was
anxious to make his final year
as the teams president and
pilot an impressive one from
the standpoint of accomplish
ments afield. This he can't do
with a crippled shortstop.
Today Brooklyn will yield
to Vance's demands, and thereby
Robbie's greatest problem will
be solved, for Dazzy has the
Robbins out on a limb. But as
to the Wright matter, it looks
very much as though Uncle
Wilbert had bought pig in
sack, as the old saying goes. So
far as baseball precedent goes,
he will have to stick by his
trade, it being clearly his own
duty to ascertain the physical
condition of any prospective
member of his team. The an
cient principle of caveat emptor,
wherein the buyer must beware.
is involved. and there is no rea-
son to think such a theory will
not hold in baseball law.
Considerable embarrassment is
being caused Track Superinten-
dent Dick Pending in making
stable allotments at Bowie. He
has over 1000 applications for
stall room, yet in the 11-day
meeting there. with l2 horses
entered in each of the n races,
only 924 animals can possibly
run, and that provided no
animal is started more than
once.
There are only 1,4O0 stalls at
Prince Georges Park, and, OBJ
viously, many owners and train
ers who wish to quarter 1000
thoroughbreds at Bowie are go
ing to meet disappointment.
The difficulty seems to be
that those who expect 20 race
at Bowie have made reserva-
tions for entire strings, only a

of it's three exhibition games. Some
excellent pitching has been encoun-
tered and the Griffs have hit It..
The infield problem looks to be
about solved with Jack Hayes at
second base and Bluege in short.
That Buddy Myer will do at third,
and Joe Judge on first is taken for
granted.

meeting opening two weeks
from next Tuesday. Many

meetings and can Just as well
be sent there, instead of crowd
ing the situation at Bowie. If
the applicants for space at
Bowie would take such a sug-
gestion under consideration the
genial Mr.. Pending's job would
be made much easier.
On all fronts today, the hold
out situation is considerably inn
proved. Goose Goslin isn't really
serious in his reticence, only
postponing the inevitable until
he can demonstrate to Presi-
dent Griffith there is life in
that throwing arm.
Max Bishop is on the verge
of capitulating to the Athletic
bait. Joe Dugan, after think
ing how lonesome he would be
this summer outside of base
ball. has decided that being with
the Braves is better than being
alone, and our own Sam Jones
came to the same conclusion
with reference to the Griffmen
Yesterday. Leaving who? The
Waners.
The position of Paul and
Lloyd Waner seems to be one
Omitted we stand, divided we
fall" The Waners are offering
the Pirates club rates.
When Sherwood Magee passed
out one of the old-school of
players noted for their smart,
inside baseball went. He was an
exceptional Judge of fly balls,
a splendid base-runner, and
never overlooked a trick of the
trade that would honorably put
/, his team ahead. When he led
the National League in 1910,
with a batting average of 1871,
the lively ball had not been
invented, so that mark really
means something, even today.
So far as observers can see,
Tom Heeney is just about
washed up as a gate attrac7
tion. Each succeeding bout he
proves what was apparent in
his Tunney encounter-that he
can take it without giving any
thing in return.

'sF'or the love of Mike" yelled a
rabid Cardinal rooter, ''Wot is this?"
The crowd laughed with him, for
Liska was, indeed, a queer looking
parcel Of pitching goods,
''Is that guy trying to pitch a
bali or sock the third baseman"
roared the gramdstand humorist.
The young Bohemian with the
funniest delivery in baseball threw
elk times in rapid succession and
never once found the plate. He ap-
reared wild and one sensed that the
Cardinals base path parade was to
continue.
In the previous inning they had
pickled everything Campbell had to
offer and scored five runs and now
they were at it again. With one
down, two runs were over and a
runner was on second base. The
Cards were red hot.

LATE GOLF DATE
MANOR HOPE

The Manor Club win ask the Dis
trict Golf Association at it's general
session Monday night at the Rae
quet Club, to approve dates in the
first or second week Of October for
it's annual invitation tournament,
r. F.. Garrity, chairman of the golf

committee to be appointed each
year by the president or eXecu-
tive committee. Discussions on
an "ineligibIe list" also arose as
well as the clause banning any
competitor "a material portion of
whose income for any period
after the adoption of this article
IL attributable to skill as
golfer"
The committee voted to hoist the
handicap of contestants in the Dis
trict amateur championships from IL
to IA, so a bigger field might COM
pete. None is eligible unless his
entry is forwarded by the club secre.
tary and that the closing time viii
be strictly enforced.

not to conflict with the. perennial
