ROBINS FAIL TO HIT BALL UP Staff Correspondent New York, April 16.— rU.R) — The j Brooklyn Robins, veterans and rookies alike, are causing no end of worry for Wilbert Robinson, their portly manager. First, their were injuries and illness which took a heavy toll from the Robins. Now, in addition, Robbie finds that members of his squad i who are able to play won’t hit — to say nothing of field. ’Tis little wonder the genial Brooklyn pilot 1 finds the sledding rough, i Robinson thought he had more i than his share of misfortune when Glen Wright, shortstop; Adolph 1 Luque, veteran Cuban pitcher; Fresco Thompson, second baseman, and Rube Bressler, outfiekler, were forced out of the game by injuries ,or illness. But apparently his I troubles were only beginning for the other Robins are showing little consideration for their boss. Yesterday, just to demonstrate I that they aren’t a bit different than | the other editions of Brooklyn base- | ball teams, the 1931 Robins comI mitted seven errors and lost to the j Boston Braves. The day before 1 they did slightly better, with only 'two errors of commision, but they lost and their percentage to date remains at .000. Not only are the Brooklyn fielders failing to field and the hitters forgetting to hit, but the pitchers aren't doing much pitching. With : the support accorded them, how- ■ ever, there is little incentive for I the hurlers to keep trying. ft long has been a saying in flatj bush that what Robinson needed I moat was traffic guides on the base paths, a few good throwing arms 1 ants some method to enable his 1 players to field the ball. When the present season started, it was the 1 concensus that Robby had overI come his chief handicaps. ■ So far there have not been enough i Robins on bases for fans to ascerI tain whether Robbie has taught his athletes that no more than one of them should try for the same base as the same time. But the men have demonstrated that they still [are faulty in the field. Babe Herman, a good hitter and I whose fielding is said to have im- ' proved 100 per cent over two years ago; Mickey Finn, subbing for Thompson at second base; Gordon Klade. who is attempting' to fill Wright’s shoes at shortstop; and Alfonso Lopez, Cuban catcher hailed as a second Mickey Cochrane, have failed to scoop up grounders, hold fly balls and catch throws. In addition, Herman and Finn can’t decide which of them is to attempt to catch balls hit in their direction. The result is that while they are making up their minds, more base hits are charged against the pitcher. The rookies also have Robinson | up in the ai’. Just before the spring training season closed Robinson told Lawrence Mattingly, a , young hurler, that he would do his job for the Hartford Eastern leahue club in 1931. Two days later, Mattingly pitched for Hartford I against the Robins allowing but I two hits in six innings. The next day as a relief hurler he held 1 Brooklyn bitless for two innings, with the result he returned to the Robins payroll. Yesterday Robinson decided to ■ let Albert Cohen, rookie outfielder, go to the minors after the game with the Braves. In the fifth inning, through an oversight on Robbie’s part, Cohen found himself playing the portion cf the outfield usually patrolled by Herman. He played the remainder of the game hit two singles in three times at bat and threw out two Boston I players who attempted to stretch I bits. , Now Robinson is losing confidence in his own judgment regarding rookies and has decided to keep Cohen around for a while.

CARDS SCORE ANOTHER WIN IN NAT LEAGUE Heavy Hitting Feature of Second Day’s Carnes; Cuhs Beat Pirates By Dixon Stewart UP Staff Correspondent New York. April 16.-- (U.K) 1 — The Cincjnati Reds were a great aid to the St. Louis Cardinals in their drive for the 1930 National league pennant, and there were indications today that the Reds may be ’‘cousins’’ to Gabby Street’s champions again this season. Last year, the Cards won 19 of their 22 games with the Reds, including all of the 13 contests played by the two clubs after June 1. Meanwhile the Reds were a special hoodoo to the Cards’ most dangerous rivals —the Chicago Cubs, with whom they broken even in 22 games. Five of Chicago's victories were scored in succession at the close of the season, after losing streaks of five aud four games against the Reds, virtually put them 'out of the race. The Cardinals are continuing their success against Cincinnati. Yesterday they scored their second consecutive 1931 triumph over the ' Reds. 4 to 0, behind masterful pitching by Burleigh Grimes, who allowed only 7 hits in compiling the season's first shutout. Other National league games Were ' featured by heavy hitting, Chicago (defeating Pittsburgh 6 to 5; Boston Idrubbing Brooklyn, 9 to 3; and '[Philadelphia beating New York, 10 jto 7. Rogers Hornsby’s home run pro- ', vided Chicago's winning run and '[ enabled Bob Smith, formerly with ' ‘ the Braves, to make a successful J debut as a Cubs pitcher. Seven fielding errors and ineffective mound work by four pitchers [ i resulted in the Brooklyn Robins dropping their second straight to .! Boston. Outfielder Babe Herman . and catcher Al Lopez were Brcok- , lyn’s chief offenders and were re- , moved after four innings of play. Chuck Klein led the Phillies attack on five Giants pitchers, turni ing in «t perfect day at bat with a homer, triple and two singles. An . eight-run offensive in the second clinched the game for the Phils. Washington's 7 to 1 victory over Philadelphia was the high spot of I American league competition. ■ Bump” Hadley held the world I champions to four hits to even the . series between the two clubs at one ; game each, while his mates drove • I Earnshaw from the mound in the fourth and continued the assault on Mahaffey. The Boston Red Sox used 20 men against the New York Yankees, but , I were defeated, 8 to 7. with the Yanks scoring the winning run on Ruth’s Jly with the bases leaded in ■ the ninth. The victory enabled the NewYorkers to tie St. Louis for the league lead with two victories each. I Sam Gray, who won only four games last year, pitched for the Browns against Detroit and won, 6 to 4. He allowed 14 hits but was more effective in the pinches than Hoyt who gave St. Louis 13 safeties. Cleveland made an uphill fight to tie the score against the Chicago ( White Sox, but was beaten out in the tenth, 7 to 6. Chicago scored four runs in the third on Cleveland j errors, and won in the tenth when I Tate's double against the right field wall scored Watwood. Yesterday’s hero: Chuck Klein had a perfect day at bat with a homer, triple and two single leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 10 to 7 victory over New York. The homer was Klein’s third in two days and put him two up on his rivals in the 1931 homer marathon. o Longworth Will Filed Cincinnati. 0., April 16 <U.R)The entire estate of the late Nicholas Longworth, speaker of the house of representatives, was bequeathed to his widow. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, under terms of the will which was filed here today. Mrs. Longworth also was named i executrix to serve without bond, j The will was dated November 12. | 1925. and was signed by Coyle, Rankin, manager of the Longworth estate here, and Alfred C. Cassett, attorney, now’ deceased. I No estimate of the value of the ) estate was submitted. The court was informed that. I Mrs. Longworth would appear late i I today to qualify as executrix.

’TITLE FIGHT PLANS MADE South Bend, Ind., April 16 —(UP) ! —Tiht Max SchmelingyYoung Stribling heavyweight bout, with its I many strange angles, finally lias found a place to figgle out or flare up to boom boxing after a long period of depression. The match for the world's title Everywhere except New York state —Will he held in the new ' municipal stadium at Cleveland on [ the night of July 3. The bout is j scheduled for 15 rounds and the prices from *25 to 2 exclusive of[ tax. Dick Dunn, vice-president anil general manager of the Boston Garden who will promote the match for the" Illinois branch of Madison Square Garden corporation, made the official announcement here yesterday after conferring with Joe Jacobs, manager of Schmeling. Despite the official announcement many skeptics still have their misgivings about the ultimate fate of the bout. A maze of confusion nas surrounded all negotiations for the bout since its first conception several months ago. The match was made in New York over the protest of the New York state athletic commission which subsequently withdrew its recognition of Schmeling as champion. The contracts are held by Madison Square Garden corporation of Illinois, an organization which has not functioned since the second Dempsey-Tunney bout here in 1927. The fight now is scheduled for a state in which there is no state legislation governing boxing. Actually the bout was legisated out of New York and muscled out of Chicago. Cleveland welcomed a chance to stage the match in its new stadium just in time, it seemed, to save the bout from dying a natura death because of lack of interest. In the face of this. Little Joe Jacobs talks about a *1,009,000 gat° even wihen Ihe national at large pa'pably cares little whether the bout lives or dies. “Cleveland is Virgin territory.” says Jacobs. "They’ve never held a heavyweight championship bout there. Schmeling and Stribling have nevefr boxed there. Cleveland is witnin a 500-mile radius of half the population of the United States. Every seat in the new vtadium is raised to permit everyone to see. It looks like a great success and a ;i, 000, ooo.” 0 Idly enough, the last time any negotiations for a heavyweight bout went on here Jack Dempsey signed to defend his title against Harry Wills in 1926’ before he lost it to Cene Tunney. That bout was never held but the promoters of this one do not seem to be superstitious. Plainly this bout needs some kind of synthetic ballyhoo. Schmeling stood on the sidewalk for 15 minutes here yesterday talking German to his trainer and a German photographer, while one lone fight fan came up to an American newspaper man and asked: “Are you Schmeling?” That never happened when Dempsey was champion. o__ 0 __ * Opening Round Dance Friday night.

'DEPADWHEAD IS UNDER FIRE President Oxnam Accused of Socialism In Alumni Speech Indlanaipolis, April 16. —<U.R) - Chargee that a Socialist administration under Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, president of DePauw University, Greencastle, Ind., is periling the school's principles, were laid before 250 alumni at their annual dinner here last night by William P. Evans, Indianapolis lawyer. “Sex, socialism and sovietism are being urged upon the student body by visiting lecturers, brought there by the administration.” Evans said. Communism, socialism and Russia have been extolled beyond all reason, both in private conferences and in public meetings. he charged.
