Looks Like Sure Second Division Candidate WHEN A FELLER" NEEDS A FRIEND ( Hy ROBERT W. MAXWELL Sports Editor, Ermine I'nbllr l.edrer CortrloM. 101), Putlle Ltdger Co. Jacksonville, I'lft, Mnrh U UNLESS Wllbert Robinson, aided nnd nbetted bv Charles Holidav Ebbets, digs up a leal hlp-leagne first baseman between now. and the opening game of the season thp Brooklvn baseball club will reemble a tlnhenry trjlnp to climb a tree while breathing thiouuh only one nostril That Initial sack at present Is the weakest spot on the team, nnd nobby la losing welpht in a frantic effoit to nnd some one to plus; the hole Jimmy Johnson, tho outfielder, and a kid named Uracil ate working on the Job, but neither has shown much diss Perhaps Mr Hbbets peipe tiated a boner when he attached the tlnwaie to .lake Daubert. Who can tell? But a little thins- llko that Is not wonjlnsr our I'ncle rtobbv The round manaser is just bubbltns over with enthusiasm, to sav nothing ot optimism, and predicts he will hae a ball tlub which will finish in the first division. We agree with the Brooklvn boss about finishing, but looking over the array of talent can see nothing but fifth or sixth place in the second division. The Dodgers cannot possibly finish lower than the Phils and St. Looie Cards. "There are four good clubs in the National League" explained Robin son, "and we will oust one ot them from the first division 1 don't know which one it will be and don t care Rut vou un take It fiom me that cither Chicago New York. Cincinnati or Pittsburgh will make room for us in the select set. "While we are weak in a couple of spots, I believe we will have men to fill them In a week or no. Wo need a first baseman nnd a shortstop, but the first-named job will bo the hardest to fill However. I should be able to pick a successor to Daubert from the gang of kids now toing for the team. "J FLAXXED to use Mitchell, but he ttll i n the irnAce. John ton t too small, and RiaiM lack experience. There in a hip pitcher named Heitman with the club, and I trill ghc him a tryout before we leave lor the North." satisfactorv trade anil the fact remains get raisj and grab one Deal for Del Gainer Falls Through ROBBT tried hard to arrange a deal with the Boston Red Fn Tor Del Gainer, but could make no headvvav Barrow wants Del as a substi ,,, ,.. i,ii.min. evtrn outfielder and ninch-hif ter Theie also Ins been some talk ot lifting Kred Luderus from the Phillies if can be put through. However, this is onlv talk. that Brooklyn is shv a first h.isoman nnd must real soon. The infield Is nothing to rave about, for nnlv one position Is Miltablv filled. Ray Schmandt, who broke in at second base list ear and plaved a great game before going into tho army, is back on the job. while OM.ua and Ivy Olson, a pair ot veterans who have slowed up considerably, aie trying for third and short, iespectlvcl Billy Kopf, who was obtained from Cincinnati In the Daubert deal. Is a holdout and will not pliv unless he re ceives a well-upholstered salarj He a-sks a couple ot thousand more than he was offered and has a swell chance of getting it fiom Kbbets not Chunk Ward, the regular third sacker, is in Kiante and no one knows when he will return. His presence would add considerable strength to the infield. In all training camps there nlwa.vs are two or three outhful phenoms w,ho look as if they would burn up the league anil make Tj Cobb run foi the bushes when they got going. This plate is no exieption, nnd Robby has two of the best looking kids we have seen In nome time Joe Neagle has every appearance ot a high-class thiid bas-oman. and l.evv Malone works well at short. They nlreadv have attracted lots of attention, nnd if they come through, part ot Robinson's worries will be over Neagle is twent-thiee .vears old, a native of Chicago and plaved with the Winnipeg club in 1917. Last jeai he was In the nrmv wheie he plaved a wonderful game. He Is ecept!onall fast, fields his position well and I PECK-PR A TT-PIPP" ' REAL DOUBLE-PLA Y REFRAIN THA T WINS 'Dolan to Doolan to Dooin" Was Good, but the Ping to "Peck to Pratt to Pipp" Is the Alcoholic Test, Sings Grantland Rice c- By GRANTLAND RICE The Refrain Incarnate was doubled out, fiom Pecklnpaugh to Pratt to Pipp.") "Fiom Peckinpaugh to Piatt to Pipp" So let the i willing rhythm rip A melody that cem tn ship ,. v In luiic essence fiom the lip As srabiid riait and dive and dtp, Or flouing breaker foam and flip Or eke ome smoothly gilding ship M'hrie corals gleam and ma maids strip, ' That never seem tn tccl or trip, r -Or dancei , swaying fiom the hip , On to the toe's exultant tip, A honeyed phrac that has the nip Of nectar which the trtld bees sip; What paiagiaphcr' nimble quip Has eier held a keener gilpT A, phrase that lashes like a xrhip, Or snaps off with a sudden clip, A uoithy phrae foi Ruddy Kip In cnille suing of zest and tip "Fiom I'cckinpaugh to Piatt to Pipp" So He might mmp along all oVrjy Anenl this famous double play, Or we might irpnte another song, But life is short, though art is long.

Heie, at last, is the perfect and ultimate test. I,et Ping Bodie, on the same club, become Involved In a double play with the trio named above. The result would be as follows, "I'rom Ping to Peck to Piatt to Pipp." Am one who can lattle tills phi.ise off without a kink Is leasonahly sober.

Alexander, in Pitching Overshadows Ruth is the gr- to bo to be a fair hitter. Of course everbod hits the ball now, but Neagle lias earmarks of a good batter. He will be used in all of the practice games Lew Malone plajed with the Athletics in 1016, but was shipped to Pt. Paul because of his poor stick work He was signed bv Brookhn the nevt year, but did not remain very long. ,Last vear he was in the arm LJStr is a smooth fielder, fhrotn tirl and iniiA uilh the hril lie must imprmc his batting, houciei, if he Impii to jnn a regular berth. i Robby Has Six High-Class Pitchers WHERE Brooklvn will shine this jear is in the outfield ami the pitching department principally the pitching department Theie aie si high rlass hurlers in -Big Ed Pfeffer, Leon Cadoie Builelgh Crimes, Rube Marnuard. Al Mamauv and Lany Chenev, with Sherrod Smith still heard from Sheriy at present is seigeanting in Trance, but hopes with us soon. Cadore is looked upon as a top-notcher because of his wotk last vear He was In the arms . but came back on a fin lough and won two games in three days for Brooklvn. Crimes won ten straight last season and is woiking his head off to beat that recoid Chene.v is a tiifle old, hut his spltter is working well and he has lots of speed Marouard looks the same as ever. Funny thing about this actor athlete vou never enn tell hat he will do." He may have a good season and again he mn not But he Is working hard and Is In good phvsical condition. Al Mamaux says he is in better shape than ever before, his aim Is giving him no trouble and he will be making good while taking his regu lar turn In tho box. Al says .so himself, which means he has quite a little confidence in his own abilitv. He has been on the downgrade for three lears and admits it is time to travel In the other direction. THE pitching staff is Biooklyn'i only hnpe If the hurlcti enme tlnough as they should, the Dodger tcill cause some trouble If not well, there always must be a couple of tail-end clubs. ' Strong Gitard in Brooklyn Outfield vTriTitlKR can be said about the outfield not even a mild slam With -IN Cap'n Zach Wheat. Mjeis and Tom Giifllth in the far pasture. Robbj's outposts are well taken care of Hickman also will be available, as will Jimmy Johnson, after it Is discoveied he is not a first baseman Griffith Is a welcome addition to the squad, for Brooklvn has not had a good sun fielder since Casey Stengel was shunted to Pittsburgh. Tom also came from Cincinnati in the Daubert transaction and already has cinched his Job. His fleidlngs good and he Is no slouch of a hitter. Wheat virtually led the league last year In batting, and Myers Is a consistent The' catchers are Miller, Kreuger, Mack Wheat and Jack Snyder, with the first two having the best chance to stick thiough the season. Brooklyn Is practicing in the west end of town on Barr's Field, once used by the Athletics. Two practices are held dally a hard workout in the morning and a short game between two picked teamB In the after noon. Here Is the squad: Pfeffer, Cadore, Grimes, Mamaux, Marquard and Cheney, pitchers; , ?Miiir -K ur. M.

PUL ' Bill Tlldcn, the tennis player extras ordinary of this city, will not default In the singles of the national Indoor cliam plnjishlp tournament now being conduct edon the courts of the Seventh Regi ment Armory, New York A leport was clsculated that tho local star, runner-up to It. Llndley Murrav for lhe outdoor crown last fall, would drop out of the present tourney because he had been told that It would be nec essary for him Io play two singles and two doubles matches tomorrow, one of which would be with Howard Voshefl, tho present Indoor tltleholder. Going Back Tomorrow "N'o, I am not going to default," said Tllden this morning, when seen at Wanamaker's. "I am going back to New lorn and will play the four matches If It Is possible to do so under the ar rangements of the armory and also of the committee. "I am scheduled to play Leonard Beekman, the former Interscholastlc and Intercollegiate champion, at 9:4K tomor row morning As I have two doubles matches to pla In the afternoon. I am antlous to meet Howard Voshell In fourth lound right after my match with Beekman, providing, of course, I win. But Voshell is hooked for a third round match at 1 o'clock,, and I may have to wait until lato In the afternoon to play him Three hard matches In a few hours seems Impossible." Would Rather Play VoslieI Tho trouble between Tllden and the. committee arose over the scheduling of the match between the local player and joung Beekman. Tllden and Bcelrman each won two matches on Saturday. TUden asked Beekman to play their third-round match Saturday afternoon. Beekman declined, saying he had played sufficient for one day. But shortly after wait! he played two sets with Howard Voshell As Beekman said he couldn't play today and it Is Impossible for Tllden to be In New York on Wednesday, Tllden asked the foyner Princeton champion to piny jesterdav. Beekman was un able to do fo, thus making It neces sary for Tllden to play four matches tomorrow. ' J8 Vi d; V! !W MANY AFTER TITLE Entries Received for North' and South Tourney rlnehursl, N. c.
