SCOOP ROBERTSON IS PLACED ON PAR WITH TY COBB McGraw Expects Great Things From His Star Outfielder This Season EXPECTED TO BE REAL RIVAL OF PLAYER PEACH Dave Broke Into Baseball Last Year With Crashes That Put Him Head of List By H. C. HAMILTON, (United Press Staii Correspondent) New York, March 26.—John J. Me- Graw’s declaration that Davy Robert- son, Giant outfielder, is as great a ball player as Ty Cobb, if the Giant star cares to be, was almost the cause for breaking out American flags and holding a public mass meeting to send thanks by the citizens of Eliza- beth City, North Carolina. Used to Play at Elizabeth. Dave used to play on the town team at Elizabeth City and they have known for some time down there that Georgia has nothing on South Caro- lina in the matter of sending great ballplayers to the major F Dave has been gallivanting around the Nationel league for some time. He ups and cracks the ball on the nose, beats out a few infield hits a y steals a base or two, turn fielding sensations each year and it a whole twelve months crammed into three or four or whatever the case may be. Is Temperamental. Dave is temperamental. He is a southerner with the southerncr on- tempt for the northerner’s brusque ness. he knows it fairly we wants to be great in own way. If he doesn't feel like stretching legs in a sprint to first base, why its nobobdy’s business, so he does as ho pleases. MeGraw Grilling Dave. McGraw has been ling Robert- son for a long time, using his own successful way in making a great man of hi i Robert ng to step out of the famous C Bia all around ball pla E. Peach in Dave has added a few promises of his own and it may be that he will forget temperament and try to make them stick. Few Crashes Did It. Last year Dave broke into the first days of the season with a few well timed crashes that placed him at the head of the batting list’ with no trou- ble at all. He played like a fiend, or a-Cobb, and he made such a furore that everyone, McGraw included, said the star had at last begun to shine. But it was premature praise, for Dave struck a slump, forgot his good reso- Iutions and ended .the season with a batting average of .307, barely within the hall of fame. Now a .300 mark isnt to be sneezed at at any time but Dave is capable Of. more and McGraw is determined he shall show it this year. HOW THE OLD MASTER HANDLES YOUNGSTERS By PAUL PURMAN ‘Shreveport, La., March 27.—After watching the Reds in training there is one thing particularly impressed up- on me—the way Manager Mathewson, the Old Master, handles youngsters.

If, however, the supreme court up- holds the present contract, TI shall en- deavor to have the paving done in a first class manner and-in the best in- terest of the property owners. I believe the growth and needs of the city now justify the purchase of modern automobile fire.equipment, to not more: than $6,000.00 so the ident portions of the city may re- ceive better: fire protection. This should reduce insurance and I believe we can bond for this sum and the money obtained from the state at four percent interest. As'to streets and sidewalks, I most certainly will insist upon keeping them in good passable condition at all seagons of the year. If. elected, I pledge fair treatment to all citizens, regardless of their so- cial or financial conditions. A. C. HINCKLEY. © FOR MAGISTRATE. J. O Narmeyo.

The Vitt case serves as an_ illustration, Hughey says. The Detroit third base- man has defused to sign a contract calling for $4,000 and it is understood that he had demanded considerably more than that amount. Vitt is a sen- sational fielder, but a weak hitter and Jennings claims that fact offsets his value to the club, * Shreveport, La.—Christ Mathewson, manager of the Cincinnati Nationals, doesn’t look kindly on military drill for ball players.

Risberg is playing shortstop with the White Sox in their training camp here and -his sharp fielding and batting have won the ad- miration of Manager Rowland. He was purchased from the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast league. . 8 Omaha, Neb.—“Pa” Rourke, presi- dent of the Omaha club in the West- ern feague, notified his pitchers and catchers to report in Omaha on March 19.
