The performance in itself seemed to jmerit more than $100 inctease over last year. Not until almost the opening of the season did the club and Robert- json come to terms.

The fact that Charley Robertson, who was deemed only good enough to warrant an increase in salary of $100, should win his first four starts and show by far the best form of the staff is one of the unusual situ- ations that often come up in base- ball.
