VERY FEW YOUNGSTERS TO BE FOUND ON MANAGER ROBINSON’S TEAM OF DODGERS

The passing of Larry Cheney brings to mind the fact that there are few youngsters on the Brooklyn team, writes a critic of Brooklyn baseball affairs. The regular outfielders are all veterans and In the infield Ed Konetchy and Ivey Olson are old-timers. Lew Malone, Chuck Ward, Tom Fitzsimmons, Pete Kilduff and Tiny Schmandt are comparatively young in the game, but all have had their share of experience and hard knocks. Every pitcher has been through the mill, likewise every catcher. Not one of the youngsters who was taken South last spring to prove his fitness for big league playing, Malone excepted, is on the club roster. Frank Brazill, Joe Nagle and Eugene Sheridan never got a chance to play in the big show. Manager Robinson must begin to do some thinking about youngsters to take the places of the venerables. They will not last forever. Some, indeed, are near the ragged edge right now of stepping off.
