P. Sports Writer) BROOKLYN, June 5.—Brooklyn can give a very well-known laugh to haughty Manhattan At least, so far ‘as baseball is concerned. Flatbush fans for some time have been irked at the gag: “‘Is he a ball player?’ Naw, he lives in Brooklyn.” In past seasons, with some ex- ceptions, the jibe was apt charac- terization. Since 1920, the year the Robins won the pennant, the Brooklyn roster has been filled with aging veterans, needed largely to make a team of nine. But this year, until a better one comes along, Brooklyn fans can reverse the wheeze. The Robins have been playing betfer ball than the other New York clubs, and the standings show it. A month after the season started, in fact, the standings showed the Robins playing better ball than any club in the National league. Wilbért Robinson, artful and op- timistic manager, has taken an as- sortment of odds and ends and done as much with it as a quilting party can do with a collection of tattered rags. At the Clearwater training camp this year, Robinson declared the pattern was set if the pitchers came through, and Glenn Wright could throw a ball again. Both of the “ifs” have been dis- solved, and after a tortoise start, the Robins rushed to the top. Dur- ing the club’'s western invasion, Wright made astounding throws in practically every series. The pitchers won 14 out of 19 games, though it wasn't their talent alone that pulled the team to the top. Heayy slugging made some of those games none too good. The batting averages of four team members at the time the Robins took the lead, was: Herman, 424; Al Lopez, .393; Frederick, .389, and Del Bissonette, .384. Frederick was the first in either of the majors to knock out 50 hits, and Brooklyn's “Babe” failed to lead the hitters, because “Lefty” O'Doul of the Phillies had gone base-hit mad. The /pitchers hav games, however, tle supplementary attack. “Jumbo Jim" Elliott, the big left hander who was season due to stomach trouble, turned in consecutive shutouts. Dazzy Vance has shown a return turned in some ired lit- to form, and “Babe” Phelps, & big| fellow sent the Robins by Rube Marquard, manager of the Jackson- ville Tars, has shaped up as a ctarting pitcher. The staff contains two other hurlers that figure as potential (right), and “Babe” Herman, team slugger, and ineffective last | ul Dazzy Vance hander, necds only the breaks and ‘Dolph Luque need§ only to catch the opposition slow thinking. | e GAMES WEDNESDAY Pacific Coast League Mission 8; San Francisco 7.
