BROOKLYNNATIONALS MAY KEEP. YOUKNOW Friend Al: ~ MANAGER ROBINSON IN POSITION Recent Ragged Work of Players Rumored Due | To Word That “Uncle Robby” Will Be Deposed; Report Is Denied. BY JOHN B. FOSTER (Copyright 1925, The Casper Trihune) NEW YORK, April 27,—Rumors that the ragged play recently exhib- ited by the Brooklyn Nationals was traceable to reports tha players had received that Manager Robinson was to be deposed, now that Charles H. Kbbetts is dead, were met with this statement Saturday by one of t! MeKeever faction of stockholders, who hold 50 per cent of the stock to 50 per cent held by the Ebbetts interests: ger Robinson is in charge rooklyn club and we see no reason why the team should not be vun under his management exactly as it was before President Ebbetts passed away.” While there may be a fight be- tween the stockholders in time, be- cause of family quarrels that have been in evidence for two or three years on the part of one 50 per cent faction of stockholders, there is no disposition on the part of McKeevers to interfere with Robinson. Steve McKeever, who travels with the club and who makes it his amusement and plaything, said di- rectly after Ebbetts died that the Brooklyn club was Robinson and that going along without him would be committing baseball hari-kari. Steve has been wrapped up in Uncle Robby ever since he has been asso- elated with him.as a stockholder, but it is said that Edward McKeever the other brother, really is the con- trolling’ and advising partner and that he will remain such now that Hidbetts is dead. The executive business in regard to handling players and directing the polley of the club always hi been ‘left to Ebbetts, in spite of the fact that there were \lisagreements, kecause hip knowledge cf baseball was far greater than that of the McKeevers, who got into the game primarily because Ebbetts wanted their financial support and their in- fluence in the section of Brooklyn in which they lived, | While the Brooklyns were not due} with the championship is ‘ear, some fans think the team uid have won more games and the double defeat by the Philad phians set every baseball tongue in Brooklyn to wagging.

A.—No. they were not. championship was that won when Boston defeated Cleveland in the post season series and the National League determined then never to repeat-such a foolish experiment. Q.—What is a good exercise for strengthening the legs? Mine are weak, A.—Take regular long walks at a full, free stride. You should do a great deal of jogging nt a moderate pace Foster, on Perry, on amateur Q—Was the third strike ever out on the first bound? A--In the early days of baseball it was. The catcher fielded his post: tion something like an infielder and he was kept busy. Q—If ths pitcher makes a com¢in- uous motion to throw out a runner by seeming to start to pitch the ball and continuing all the way around throwing {o first base would such a motion be called a balk? AY There was deception tn that movyé. The pitcher was trying that he was about tp pitch the ball The only | to give an impression to the runner | Wherefore there is much !nter- est attached to the intentions of two American girls, Helen Wain- wright and Gertrude Ederle, to at- tempt the feat. These girls, two of America’s greatest aquatic stars, have gone to England to train for the event Both plan to attempt the swim. They are confident that they can not only succeed where the few other members of their sex failed but can better the time that has been made by the successful men. There is a feeling in swimming circles that if America boasts of any girls who can turn the trick these intrepid mermaids can do it In their swimming achievements to date they have set records approach ing those set by the members of the stronger sex. Miss Ederle reigns su preme in the short distance events. Miss Wainwright specializes in the middle distance events and rules that division, The two girls were the out- standing stars of the national swim- ming championships last year.
