fTUIE animal holdout ditty Is being
-- 'Andsome Dacy Uobeitson, thcwalloplng Giant. The Virginia medico
has a joung wifey who Is stated to liao other asiiliatlons for friend hubby
than a low-hrowcd pursuit llko tho national pastime. In any cent, tho
demon hitter, who has Jed tho NntlonnI League the last two seasons In
, Jiome run clouting, is In a comfortable attitude, for ho Is doubly entrenched
for tho Indejiendent role. Tho avcrago holdout threat Is not based on any
thing concrete, but Kobertson has a piofesslon, Is known to entertain a
desire to tart at It as soon as possible, has another Job in sight and as a
player would bo sought bj any team in the country.
Many hac wondered wh this gieat natural plaer never has : cached
the dizzy heights of a real baseball sensation. Possessed of a gland eo
and an awful punching, capacity and as Meet of foot as any other plajer In
the game, there has been lacking something that enters into the attainment
of the highest efficiency In any undertaking. In Robertson's enso It uppcais
to be a lack of ambition. He alwns has plavcd tho game In a llstlf-s
manner and has made llttlo effoit to conceal the fact that ho was in tho
same for tho money neccsari to establish a joung professional man with,
out ready funds.
The Giant authorities report that tho aio not worried by Itobeit
son's balking. Thn Idea Is entertained that ho will come through In due
season. It he eliould not do so, however. It Is said that joung Koss Young,
the Toronto kid who outlarrupeu Larry Lajole last season, will bo rolled
upon to fill the Virginian's shoes. Young Young Is said to be able to do
anything handy around a ball yard except catch and pitch.
...
THAT Robertson is unusunlly bolstered for a holdout stunt Is
further evidenced by tho charico to servo as high school athletic
coach at Norfolk,
reported.
