By Billy Evans Clearwater, Fla, March 20.—Man- ager Wilbert Robinson of the: Brook- lvn Nationals appears to have the biggest task of any of the major league managers. With the exception of his pitching staff, Robbie hasn't a thing to boast about. In discussing the situation with the Brooklyn leader he about| summed up his situation when he re- | marked: “The way things now line up my | club doesn't present much of a front. It's just a good minor league team.” The usual number of holdouts have hampered Robbie from using his full strength. Zach Wheat is among the absentees, as is Third Baseman High, also Jack Fournier, secured in the trade with St. Louis for Hi Myers. If these three players we on hand Manager Robinson might again wear his broad smile. At present Rob- bie hasn't had much to enthuse ove and the smile has been conspicuously missing. Many Rookies in Lineup When 1 looked over the Dodgers in action few of the men in the lineup were familiar to me. In the game with the Boston Brayes the entire in- field with the exception of Jimmy Johnston was made up of recruits. Three youngsters from the South-| ern Association, with the addition of Johnston, comprised the infield. | Stewart, with Birmingham last year,| was at second; Mullen with Mobile, at| third, and Schleibner of Little Rock at first. Stewart looked right promising| despite the fact that this is his third | chance in the majors. Pittsburgh and | St. Louis of the National League had him for a time, but he never got much | of a chance. Weakness at the bat was JACK STEWART (TOP) STOOPS FOR A LOW ONE. THE OTHER YOUNGST IS FRED SCHLIEB- NER. given as the reasen for his failure to stick. Stewart handles himself nicely in the field, and looks like a mighty good base runner, provided he can get on enough to take advantage of his speed. He hit an even .300 in the Southern Association last year. If he can hit within 30 points of that marlf he should help Brooklyn. | Led Southern in Batting | Fred Schleibner, a husky chap, will hold down first, unless Fournier reports. Schleibner went big in the south, leading the Southern in hitting with a mark of . 3 As yet the big fellow has not im- pressed with his hitting despite his imposing swat average of last year. He says that he is a late starter. The records of the Southern Associa- tion bear out that statement. Up to July 4 last year Schliebner was hitting about .180, yet he topped the organ- ization in hitting. He just couldn’t be stopped the last two months. At the present writing Wheat is a holdout, Bert Griffith is on the shelf with a torn ligament and Turner Bar- ber is home at the bedside of his wife who is very ill. With those three players on the job and in shape Rob- inson's outfield troubles wouldn't be 8o serious. DMITS HIS LEAGUERS P La Big Problem for Pitchers Neis iz slated for center field, the veteran Tom Griffith will be in right. Gene Bailey, a rookie from Houston, Tex,, who filled in for the Boston Red Sox'a few years back when" Hooper was out, looks good, and may start as a regular. : The catching will ,be done by De- Berry and Hungling, with Iargreaves, a recruit, and Taylor, who was the Dodgers for a time last year but finished with Memphis, fighting it out for the third job. There is no hope for Robbie to finish in the first division, and the way the team looks now he may have his troubles finishing better than sixth. Robbie realizes the many handicaps he is working under, and is hoping his pitching will help keep him in good standing. 1t looms up as a big job for the hurlers. : Yale, Holy Cross, Georgia, V. M.

The work of Referee Coutts, Physieal Di- rector of the New Haven Y. M. C. A. was of the highest order and great satisfaction was expressed by all at- tending the game.

New Ideas Help Golf Game Here “America's rapid progress in golf and the fine showing of the American players in the British tourpaments is due to the fact that golfers in the United States are always seeking to improve their game, always willing to try some new angle that seems to have possibilities,” says Jock Hutehison. “In the old country,” contin- uwes Hutehison, “golfers are sticking to the same ideas that held good 50 years ago. In the United States many new origin- al stunts have been devised in the last 20 years that have help- ed the game, “American profe; been largely respondible for the developing of the game by teaching a style that gets re sults, Some of the ldeas that are advocated by Barawen, Ha gon, Darnes, Brady, mysell and many other pros are not looked on with faver in Kngland, We nave gotten away from some old outablished customns beoanse we found new schomes that worked to better advantage.” onals have Princeton, Navy, Collegiate Baseball Teams| Start off Season With a/ Smash — Timely Hitting Wins for Eli.

The move to legalize Suhday baseball was the. result of agitation against the so-called blue laws of the state. Party affiliation was disregarded in the vote. i PITTSBURGH SHIFTS PLAYERS | Pittsburgh, March 29. — Owing to {the temporary incapacity of Russell and Michaels, Manager MoKechnie of the Pittsburgh Nationals has placed Rarnhart in right field for the reg- ulars and has shifted Schwab from first base to short stop for the Yan- nigans in- the intra-club games, ac- cording to advices received from Hot} Springs, Ark. i | Ain’t it a Grand and Glorious Feelin?

Thus Ruel will become the fourth catcher to be paired off with the great John- son. The original battery was Johnson ond Street, then came Johnson and Ainsmith, followed by Johnson and Picinich. The very latest is Johnson and Ruel. Ruel dotes on speed. When with New York he handled the fast-ball{ pitchers of the Yankees. Ruel will also be paired with Allan Russell, the spitballer. Eddie Gharrity never liked to catch Johnson, and incidentally has never done much receiving for spitballers, so it is certain Ruel will be behind the bat when either Johnson or Rus- sell works. SANDBERG, FIRED BY MINGRS AND HIRED BY HAJORS — p ’ Vi, SANDBERG Orlando, Fla, March 29. — The unique record of having been fired by a minor league club and hired Ly & major league one in the same séason belongs to Gustave Sandberg, new catcher for the Reds, who is txpected to show well the coming year. Last year was .Sandberg's fifth in the International league. He rted out with Toronto last year, ‘but in June a deal was arranged that would have @ent him to New Orleans in the Southern league. This was even a step below the International. George Stallings of the Rochester club refused to waive on him, how- ever, and he was used regularly for that club behind the bat. Pat Moran, Reds' manager, saw Sandy in action and paid a good price for his release. FANKS $100,000 RECRUITS DWINDLE T0 6, OF WHOM 3 MAY BE FARMED OUT Manager Miller Huggins Announces Release of Rookies—Cincy, St. Louis and Frisco Win Exhibi- tions. New Orleans, La., March 20.—The bad news came for a lot of the Yan- kee youngsters yesterday. On a dark and gloomy afternoon, whch prevent- ed the game between the American league team and- the New Orleans Pellicans, Miller Huggins announced his release to the different minor league teams of his young players. After spending more than $100,000 for new talent in the last year, the Yankees have come out with two pitchers, two outfielders and two catchers they did not possess before. Of these six men at least three will be sent to other clubs, though being carried with the team at’present.
