silary submarined by President Charles
Kbbets Even Wllbert Boblnson, who
did so much In bringing the National
League championship pennant to Brook
lyn two years ago, consented to accept
a cut In his compensation for the coming
baseball campaign.
Several of the cuts were for more
than 1500 But despite this, Robinson
s confident that he will have all of his
players signed before he stirts for the

Moran saw President Baker In the
lobby of the Wnldoif last night before
he left for his home In l-Mtchburg, Slass.
"I want a Rood left-handed pitcher."
said Pat. "and I must have him regard
less of the cost. What do you think
about It?"
"Go as far ns you like," replied Baker,
"If you tlnd the man you like the prlco
will bo no object. Tho club will go the
limit to get a first-class man."
Pat Is on tho trail of a couple of south
paws and hopes to grab one, before the
team leaves for Florida next month He
still has Jimmy Lavender for 'trading
purposes and It Js possible that Clncln
natl. who Is said to be sweet on him. will
come through with some sort of a propo
