U"inee you know Wilbert Rob ineon off the field it 1s|? rather diflocult to understand his method of leadership—tt, indeed, it can be called a method. It {s more the dissemination of good nature and Joyal companionship. Now that “Robbie” is leaping to fame in rapid bounds and his club is within striking distance of the National League champlonship, they are beginning to call him a “Genius,” a “Tactician,” a “General.” This makes the veteran manager of tho Dodgers laugh. “It I had been a genius,” he says, “tt would have broken out before I decame a grandfather. If there is, anything new in the way I handla a ball club I don't know {t. I've simply got a good gang of fellows together and they are winning because they are enthusiastic about it. I always have believed that a pat on the shoul- der will do more toward getting ali ball player in his stride than the {m- position of a fine. A fellow who has| i, to be fined all the time ts more|! trouble than he's worth. It ts better | i to get rid of him.” That practically sums up the. #o- called Robinson method in getting together a ball club that: is creating a sensation in the National League, Getting right down to the practical needs of a ball club, Robbie believes that a pitching staff counts more than anything, and he has proved the cor- rectness of that theory, He has skil- fully put together a string of twirlers, mostly young men, and they have turned the trick. Hitting ts always necessary, but It is interesting to note that the Dodgers are now getting to the top with a team that is not hit- ting so well the one that hovered around the bottom. The pitching has done it, The Brooklyn manager ts a strong believer in the necessity of handling different men in different ways, He quickly reads their natures and treats them accordingly, He says that no two men can be handled exactly alike. For Instance, when Robinson firrt came to the Glants as coach he found Rube Marquard discouraged and un- able to get control of the ball. He was confident that Marquard had the natural ability and began, by making a comrade of him, to learn the young fellow's personal peculiarities. He encouraged Marquard to believe that |he was # great pitcher and that he could get control. Day after day he worked with him for two months or more and finally told McGraw that the Rube was ieady, He then lad his one best year. Whether Robbie's absence has had anything to do with Marquard’s decline is } the fact remains that th not had a real ood year sine: old catcher left the Giants to @ manager, As Manager Robinson know that he could not be on the seine footing with his own men as he had ith the Giants while assisting McGraw, he therefore jumped at the chance of Jack Coombs, And he want ymba on the team whether he was able to pitch or not In faet the chanee of Coombs belng able to pitch winntng ball was secondary in. his thoughts, He wanted a veteran pitcher who could work with young pitchers as ® comrade ag 4 | HAVE the reputation of being one of the worst k Ing as a prophet bes anc out for the penunant lost on the week a chancos of both «i 90 fad with them just like tops are with the little k times of the year. thom playing mselves than grouching al natural ability.
