_ PAGE hs ‘UNCLE’ WILBERT TELLS HOW HIS BOYS WON FLAG Team Made Up of Castoffs but They Play Ball When Handled Right, He Says GIVES PLAYERS CREDIT As Told to Dean Snyder BY WILBERT ROBINSON Brooklyn, Oct. 1--Egting break- fast off a trundle table in one’s hotel apartment in New York with the wife on the morning after driving the nail in the National League pennant would make any normal “human being feel pretty kittenish even though he were a grandpa at the mellow age of 56. That’s exactly the way Your Uncle Wilbert Robinson acted and felt when this interview was pulled off. s in a gala mood. His eyes vith the snap of a 16-year- getting ready to take in his 18. Between bites he cackled remiris- cently. He joked Ma Robinson across the table of ham and egg He sag off yards of praise about his ball club that had made the great fight. He laughed over the eccentricities ct Squire Ebbets. And of the Dodgers’ part in the coming world sevics he opined fluentiy. m Steady Old Boys. “Yep, my boys are mostly castoffs, all right. But I like ‘em. They've sot the good old steady goods if you handle 'em right: “T pat my boys’en the back instead of bawling them ottt when they make mistakes. A manager, who is con- tinually finding fault with his p'e ers, will soon have them playing half- hearted baseball. “If one of them makes -a mistake T just tell him that we’ll make it up next time. And he does. Credits Players. “I don't try to assume the attitude of knowing it all. I give them credit for knowing some baseball themselves. “Ball players like. to have a littie fun while they are playing. They like to work together, and help each other if given a chance. So I’ve tried to make them feel like a family. “Last spring when we played the Yankees at Jacksonville and won 1¢ games out of 16 from them I figured right then and there that we were good enough to win the pennant and that if we were capable of taking a pennant that we could win the world series. Change Helps. “My team has been called 2 team of misfits—castoffs, you know. Well, they are all right. The only players on the team who cannot be ciassed as} astofis are Pitcher Cadore ard Out- fielders Wheat and Myers. “Changing ¢lubs, has helped many players for one thing and if you en- courage them why there’s always 4 lot of good baseball left in, them. “Winning ball games-is largely a matter of getting the ‘let’s-go, boys, all together, and do your best’ spirit. Pennant Spirit. “All year I’ve told them they could win the pennant. They betieved me and came through. . “As for my pitching staff, T was once a catcher. They say I know how to handle them and get results. “My theory in developing pitchers is to make their legs strong. Sounds funny. I know. But how often have you seen a pitcher begin to blow about the fifth or sixth inning.

Robbie’s, Theory. “The strain of coming down on one’s leg with the delivery of every ball is the hardest part of pitching. Wher the legs wobble it ruins a pitch- er’s stride and with it goesshis effec- tiveness and control. “The way I keep my pitchers’ legs strong is to give them a lot of work chasing flies in the outfield on off days when they areén’t working in the box. Ws the: Legs. “The pitchers, with the help <f a trainer, will generally look out-to keep their ‘salary arm in condition. Bui their legs, I look out for that part of it.

That's the way your Uncle Wilbert feels about copping the pennant and also the world seri@in a nutshell. The cast-off idea doesn’t bother him one tittle. The Boston Braves cut the buck with a team made up mainly of discards in ‘14, likewise the Phillie of ‘15, the Robins of ’16, the Cubs of ’18 and the Reds of last vear. ‘So you see Uncle Wilbert’s pulse is just as normal as the singing of the old tea kettle on the new kitchen range.
