Chattanooga, Tenn., March 28.
FTF.K two days In the oam? of the Brooklyn Dodgers, the one thought
that hits home and lingers In the spirit of the team the esprit de
oorpi, as we say In baseball. Robby has turned that crowd of
got together to
toward a championship as they go
mn ePt l w'n pennant
but they see a fighting chance for the
guns in that direction. Next year they
handshake In the hotel lobby, looked
Inquiringly at his new manager.
"I've got a nice bunch of boys
here," Bobby said In response to the
look, "If they can only win. Thoy
are all In good health and as hearty
la bunch of calrra as I ever saw." His
eyes twinkled as he aimed this last
shot at the Kbbets bank roll.
"Are they working hard?" asked
Kbbets, but the question needed no
i answer. Just at that minute McCar
thy, the new catcher, and Pat Bagon
were coming on a run down the
treat and Bobby merely pointed at
them through the window. McCarthy
hart run all the way In from the park
with Hasron, panting like a lizard,
holdlnx on through sheer gameneas.
The others, left far In the ruck, had
quit.
DODGERS FIND REAL PLEASURE
IN THEIR TRAINING. '
"That's what they've beun doing
tight alonK." said Bobby. "They are
so uiixtuus to be In good shape that
1 nave to worn that McCarthy every
day to keep lilm from running tbe
others to death. Honestly, I bellevo
thut ktd could run ten mllee without
tlrltut. s.iy. Mai'," lie called to the
youtkif catcher, "cut those long runs
out. You'll luive some of the boys
overt rained,"
ijave it to me. Imss," the youth
replied with a laugh, "and I'll atake
the Bouth to a hundred pounds of fat
off the Hrooklyn club ojid. meytin,
unit bone."
H.Lgon. who Is a lit tie overweight,
was well nigh exhausted and flopped
on the hotel steps, unable to go fur
ther. "I'm all In," he said between puffs,
as hs greeted Mr. Kbbets, "but I'd
have died before I lei him beat ma"
"Thare'll be no game this afternoon
on oooount of thatlilgh wind," Bobby
mild to McCarthy and Hugon, "but
after luncheon I want you fellows to
go out nnd have an hour of sliding
practice." He repented thl.i to aaoh
of the players as they straggled In
and not uine of them complained or
made a wry face. That good-natured
aiav on the hack that Bobby can give
wilii such an air of camaraderie did
the trick. The athletes went romping
into the elevator singing, some of
i beui doing amusing Imitations nf the
Owner Kbbets stood there and

athletes who formerly had the plaint of the under dog
Into a hunch of kldders. There Is a laugh In every
mlx-up on the held, a rollicking run back to the Hotel
and at night a clearing, house of good stortea until
bed time 11 o'clock.
In the forty-eight hours I didn't hear one player
say a disapproving word of another, nor did one make
the customary comment as to what he would do If he
could only get with a good team. They simply have
no tne ix-st tney can and build up :
along. Neither Manager Robinson nor I
they have too much sense for that '
first division and are aiming their
may do better.
Bobby Is, perhaps, the most candid
manager that you ever saw. He'll tell
any ope, right off the reel, that he
hasn't a wonderful team and that he
has no Idea of winning the pennant.
ROBBY GOING TO TAKE SHOT AT
FIRST DIVISION.
"I'm going to take a shot at the
first division," he says, "and if I land
I'll consider myself pretty fortunate.
They say that George Shillings Is
going to beat me out, but as yet I
tall to see what with. He'll have to
show me more than I've suen so far.
I think we ought to beat out St u,uis
easily, and It Is about even money
between ua and the Beds. The Phil
lies have been torn up considerably,
but I expect them to do better than
most people think. The Cubs will also
do well.
"I don't see how there 1a a chance
to keep the Giants out of the cham
pionship again, whether they get Tilly
Hhafer or not. Ieave that to Mc
Graw. He'll find a way with all that
speed. The fight for the flag will
probably be between the Pirates and
the Giants, with New York huvlng a
shade the best of It."
Bobby Is In the rather unusual po
sition of being able to keep all his
recruit He can do that without
exceeding the limit allowed by the
National Ieaarue. The few new
comers he has are all good too good
to be sent away for Home time.
The Brooklyn club will have one
new player In the outfield ibis year
and one In the Infield, Centreftelder
Hlggert and Shortstop Egan. The lat
ter waa bought from the Reda and
was a factor in tne deal by which
Cincinnati got Moran and Ylngllng.
Hlggert cornea fresh from the minors,
where he hung up an enviable rec
ord. There will be two or three new
pitchers and one new catcher -McCarthy,
formerly of Newark.

Have you done any worrying

thinking perhapa thst the man

on him.
"I don't see anything to worry
about," he replied. "This is a
fine crowd of boys and I believe
they are right with me."
'You can bet your life they
are," spoke up Dick Egan, who
happened in.
"I believe that. Dick." Robby
declared, "and the only regret I
have is that I can't be hard and
rough when I want to. I need it
sometime, but I guess I'm simply
not built that way."
"Never mind," laughed Egan,

cllmtied Into the ring of the Kmplre

i uten threw enough punrhen Into the
. mld-nrctlon and fare of Buttling Jim
Johnson, another colored' wlelder of
the five-ounce mlttn, to stow away
I nearly a ring full of "white hopes."
I Jim not only remained on his feet
despite thin aevcrn gruelling, but he
also treated the fight fan to it great
surprise by getting many a heavy
right-hand awing acrotw to 8am's Jaw
and also numerous Inside uppercuts
and Jabs to the face which made Sam
wince.
Johnson, who tipped thn Hcnle at
:2t! pounds, was not a bit afraid of
Langford, for he stood right there :
i and often met Ham as he came rush
I Ing In with straight rlgh; plump on
, the chin. In the second round Jim
made Sam real angry by uppercuttlng j
I him on the mouth with a short right
, which drew the claret. Langfnrd tore
IBM Jim after that and nailed him
with many a heavy wallop, but It was
noticed several time that Sam usti-
ally stopped his body punishment In
the clinches and also would sidestep
away after he had shaken up Jim
with some of his wicked blows to his
Jaw or body.
Several times the crowd hooted Sam
for not going In and following up his
advantage. Sam was emulating Peter
Mnhcr, a hlg-hearted son of Kiln,
who never liked to punish a fighter
once he saw the claret streaming
from his nose or mouth. While Lang
ford easily won on points, JohnHim

A match has Just Ix'ei cllmhed be

Foreign Cueists
Coming Here for
14.1 Tourney
Maurice Daly, veteran of many
champlonahlp billiard games, Is hash
home from a three weeks' pleasure
trio to 1'arls. Mr. Daly said ha
some of the foreign cracks peel off
long runs In exhibitions, but he
firmly believed that champion Willie
Hoppe could clean up the lot without
a greut deal of trouble. But the TSt
crun feats thst several of ICurope'S
champions could defeat many of our
leading I layers. According to Mr.
Daly, Willie Hoppe wan the only home
player who performed In regular
form In mutches during the past win
ter. Maurice Daly won't rompsts la airy
blK mutch until next fall, bnt hs says
that there will be a big set of 14.1
balkline games at the Astor next
month that will round out the present
billiard season. These games will
probably have an international fea
ture, according to Mr. Daly, for ssv
erul foreign cue artists have an
nounced their Intention of coming
over for the Astor matches.
Incidentally, the former champion
declared thut Willie Hoppe waa tak
ing up a new name golf. Mr. Daly
rather pioudly said he introduced the
cue champion to the sport, and that
Willie waa developing Into a good
player.
