Losing games by one run became a
habit with Brooklyn. It Is claimed by

fans, that R largo percentage of thesoS.
contests wouiu nnvo resuueu in victories
had Iloblnson exercised bettor Judgment,
or had O'Mara. Ret and Myers been ablo
to hit In thn pinches. ,
Manager Robinson probably has profited
by tho failure of 1015 season and has
picked up n small army of players to
try to (III tho weak spots. Singularly
tho Brooklyn club has not signed n single
player who played In tho Fedoral League.
Tresldont Ebbctts declaring that ho would
finish la3t before ho would sign a player
from tho outlnw organization.
Discards of other managers will play
an Important part In Robinson's plans to
strengthen. Among them aro "Chief"
Myers and Rubo Mnrquard, from tho
Giants; Mike Mowroy, released by Pitts
burgh last season; Tom Rellley, passed
up by Cleveland and purchased by tho
Dodgers from Now Orleans; Stevenson,
released by St. Louis, and Jimmy Johns
ton, who was not good enough for tho
White Sox a year ago.
Manager Robinson coached tho Giants
pitchers nnd acted as lieutenant for Mc
Oraw for several years and knows Mar
quard and Myers and their limits. Ho
Is .certain that a change of scenery Is
all that this famous battery needs and
believes they will bo an lmmonso help
to the Dodgers. Many National Leaguo
' players ngroo with Robinson.
Infield Should be Stronger
Mowroy will try to beat Oetz out for
third base, but his chanco Is slim, unless
he Is In his 1013 form, Oetz fell down
after mldseason last year, but Is a
youngster nnd should Improve greatly.
He a, wonderful defensive player nnd If
a' shortstop can bo developed who can
hit, Robinson can ufford to carry Getz
along for his fielding nblllty nnd speed,
which should bo utilised to better advan
tage than last season.

WILBERT ROBINSON
Heavyweight leader of tho Brook
lyn Dodgers.
There will bo two Southern League
stars fighting with O'Mnrn for his posi
tion, and one of them will land It unless
Olllo can pull a great come-back. Tho
two youngsters nro Rellley nnd Steven
son. Tho former knows more thnn
Stevenson and had tho better record In
1015, but veteran players from tho South
ern Leaguo dcclaro tho latter Is Just
coming nnd will bo nt his best this year.
If both of these youngsters show well
nnd Getz nnd Mowroy do not piny up to
tho Btnndnrd, It Is posslblo Rellley may
bo shifted to third base, which wns his
original position. In any event, both
youngsters nppenr to bo cortaln of re
maining In fast company.
Manager Robinson Is banking heavily
upon Johnston. Prior to Joining tho
White Sox Johnston had batted more
than .300 nnd stolen moro than 120 bases
In tho Paclllo Coast Leaguo. Rowlnnd
thought ho had n star, but Jimmy did not
get going right nnd was turned back to
Los Angeles. Back In tho Pacific Coast
League, Johnston ngnln played sensa
tional ball.
Ho batted over .300 nnd stole closo to
100 bases. Johnston had contendod that
ho did not report to tho White Sox In
shape, and was not given n thorough trial.
Other major' leaguo managers evidently
thought tho same thing, ns five clubs
tried to purchaso Johnston, but ho signed
a Federal Leaguo contract.
Never Played With Feds
Before ho had Jumped to the Feds John
ston had accepted tho Brooklyn Club's
offer for 1916, and one of tho terms of
tho peace ngrecment called for his return
to Brooklyn. Ho never plnycd a game In
tho Federal League. Excellent Judges of
talent dcclaro that Johnston will bo a star
In his Eecond trial, and will bolster up
tho weak spot In the Dodgers' outfield.
Tho other positions nro practically de
cided upon before the team goes South,
and Manager Robinson li not banking
much upon nny other recruits aside from
ono pitcher, although It Is said that Stew
art, nn outfielder from tho Northwestern
League, may put a BtlfC fight for Stengel's
Job.
Jako Dnubert will bo on first, with Cut
shaw at second and both should bo even
better than In tho past. Zack Whent has
his position In left field clinched, while
McCarthy and Miller will be regular
catchers regardless of what Myers docs.
If the latter shows up well, It Is posslblo
that Mack Wheat, a brother of Zack, may
bo released.

NOTES OF THE BOWLING ALLEYS
Secretary Hell, of thn Royal Arcanum
League. Is working on plans for an individual
and two-man tourney to bo rolled on Casino
Alleys It may start next Monday night.
Huverford won the championship of tho organ
ization, thla being tho first of the tournaments
to bq decided. It led the league virtually
from start to finish. Philadelphia, No. 1,
squad is second and Philadelphia, No. 2, quin
tet third.
Underdown, No. 1. team continues to set
a fast pace In Section A ot the Artisans'
series by winning two games from ltooatera
on Keystone Alleys last night, llooaters bunched
their strikes and spares in the, second game,
when they totnled 925 pins Calver was high,
with 22.1. in this game. whUe Klagholz knocked
down 193. Shields 179. Hill 172 and I'atton
159. Campbell registered 214 for Underdown
in the second gamo, und Peck 208.
Northwestern, No. 1. gained sbcond place
by winning the odd gamo from llartram.
Swisher's 211 total In tho aecond gamo was
tha highest single scoro of this series.
Spartan outrolled Adelphla in two games.
Spartan compiled u total pin ecore of 929
In their last same, aided by a 32-pln handicap
allowance.
Progressive showed up to flno advantage In
winning all three games from Pennsylvania.
It won the last game by 137 pins margin.
Seeds, for Progressives, after a poor first
game, in which he knocked down 148, finished
with 204 and 192, Donley's Bcores were

Fidelity called on seven players In Its series
with Harmony and lost two games. Har
mony totaled C92 In their second game, Connor
being low man In thla gamo with 113.
The Strawbrldge a Clothier League teams
will bowl tonight on Casino alleys Retail
Credit, the leader, will meet Men's Furnishing
?ulntet, while Hugs and Accounts, who are tletl
or second place, will battle for the runner-up
position. ,
Local bowlera are wondering how the na
tional and Atlantic coast tourneys will com
pare with the record-breaking entry ot 75
live-man teams which are to bowl In the
American Congress, starting In Toledo next
Ijaturday. Some Idea of tha probable number
Of entries may be gained regarding the na
tional championships which will begin In Now
York March 18, when the Kxecuttte Hoard
Pitching Staff Is Bet
ter, but Must Be
Handled Differently
This Season
In Justlco to Itobtn.inn It nhnnlri hn
I stated that ho apparently did not have a
I strong pitching staff when tho loin seii-
son opened, nnd ho may have ruined his
staff trying to keep tho team In tho race,
I believing that tho start could not last nnd
I that ho owed It to his employers to keep
mo icam in tno race for a rcw months, so
thnt It would draw well.
As a devolopor of pitchers Iloblnson has
few superiors, nnd It ho had exercised ns
good Judgment In working them ns In de
veloping, he would havo been moro suc
cessful. Ho developed Dell. Smith and
Appleton, thro lino young pitchers, nil of
whom should bo stnrs this season.
Staff la Stronger
The rest of tho pitching staff nlso wilt
bo far stronger than at tho start of tho
1915 season. Robinson will havo Cheney,
Pfcffer, Dell, Appleton, Coombs, Prlestc,
Ooodbrcad nnd Cohvell, right banders, and
Smith, Marquard, Ruckcr and Malls,
southpaws. He Intends to enrry eight
twlrlers, nnd should ho able to select n
great corps from tho above.
Last season Cheney reported to tho
Cubs In poor shnpo and wns dissatisfied.
Consequently his work wns not up to tho
usual Btandard. If ho reports In shapo ho
Is certain to star agilln nnd will surely bo
a regular. Tho same can be said of Pfcf
fer. a great pitcher; Dell and Appleton,
right banders, nnd Smith and Mulls,
southpaws.
Llttlo la known of the latter In the East,
hut ho was a wonderful pitcher In tho
Northwestern League, and six scouts of.
fcrcd tho Seattle Club a largo prlco for
him. Brooklyn had nn option on him for
two Bcnsons, however, making It Impos
sible for nnothcr team to get him. Ho
pitched Scattlo to a pennant, nnd Is a
minor leaguo phenom who Is not likely to
explode.
Coomhi, Ruckcr nnd Mnrqunrd aro un
certainties. If all should make good two
of tho abovo mentioned hurlera would
havo to bo dropped ; but thero In llttlo
likelihood of moro than ono of this trio
coming through.
Are Going Back
There will havo to bo a completo reversal
of form on tho part of Ruckcr If ho Is to
stick. This famous hurler lost most
of his "stuff" lost season, nnd wns ef
fective ngalnst only tho Giants nnd Culm.
Rucker may recover his fast ball and star
again, but chances nro decidedly ngninst
It. Marquard Is In tho samo position. Ho
never had a very good curve ball, and
last season lost the hop on hli fast ball.
Without It ho Is a mark and It Is ex
tremely hard for n veteran to regain his
fast ball after losing It.
Jack Coombs pitched excellent ball for
tho first half of tho 191D season, nlthough
It was npparcnt that ho was pitching with
his head moro than his nrm. Coombs'
long Illness causod him to loso hla famous
fast ball, which was onco a terror to
American Leaguo batsmen. Ho had u fine
curve ball nnd his control was good, but
aftor ono swing around tho circuit ho lost
his effectiveness. Local fans hope that
Coombs will return to his old time form,
as ho can hardly hopo to get by ngnln on
what ho had at tho close of last season.
Brooklyn apparently has strengthened
nnd has a chanco to win tho pennant If
the weak spots aro plugged In a satisfac
tory manner If Robinson works his pitch
ers right and tho team Is favored by the
breaks. Thero aro many Ifs to bo over
come beforo tho Dodgora look as strong
as several other teams.
meets In tho Windsor Hotel next Saturda
afternoon.
Tho Nntlonal llowllng Association champion,
ehlp rules will not nllow more than ono alley
owner or employe to bowl with a team In in
annual tourney.
An oftlclnl of the National Howling Associa
tion, discussing tho Innoiatlon to permit con
testants to roll practice games on the tourna
ment alleys beforo their championship games,
says: "Thla new departure, canvassed among
the bowlera and up beforo tho main district
association's meetlne. has met with warm ap
proval. It Is believed that paat conditions
have been too rigid and ton hard a test or
handicap and that they have been alarming,
particularly to tho unseasoned nnd tlio nrat
tlme entrants. Tho plan will enable tho bowl
er to go aa far and practice ns much as ho
ilkca In tho heart of tho actual tournament
nooro. Schedules will show tho rolling hours
as usual and at the same time display the
Intervening 'open hours.' so that men may ap
pear as much before that time and gut . ns
much uccllmated and warmed up as they
wish."
In tho big national championship matches
tho rtve-man toams roll Hrst and the doubles
and singles -the next day.
Keystone League will bowl Its weekly games
tonight. .
Northwestern totaled 815 In Ita final match
with Larchwood.
