Talking I It Over |! WITH JOE WILLIAMS 1 •

CLEARWATER, Fla., March 9. The Brooklyn Dodgers 'anil probably start the new season this way: Johnny Fredrick, center field; Wally Gilbert, third base; Babe Herman, right field; Glenn Wright, shortstop; Del Bissonette, first base; Rube Bressler, left field; Jake Flowers, second base; either Bill Clark or Dazzy Vance pitching and Hank Deberry catching. This, to repeat, is how the

Dodgers will start the season; how they will finish is another matter—an entirely different matter. You never can tell about the Dodgers. Even with a score card you can’t tell about them. The baseball situation in Flatbush is beset with many complexities and

there are times when these are reflected in what passes for (-he artistic phases of the business, meaning the playing end. Uncle Wilbert Robinson is president of the club. He is also the manager of the club. And if you listen to Judge Steve McKeever he is a terrible president ar.d even worse as a manager. ana The judge owns 50 per cent of the club’s stock. Uncle Wilbert Is fronting for the Ebbetts estate, holding the other 50 per cent. a a a FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS UNCLE WILBERT AND THE JUDGE HAVE BEEN GETTING ALONG LIKE A COUPLE OF RIVAL CHICAGO BEER RUNNERS FROLICKING IN A PINEAPPLE GROVE. THEY HAVE BEEN ON SPEAKING TERMS, BUT ONLY A STUDENT OF ADVANED PROFANITY COULD FIND ANYTHING INTERESTING IN THEIR REMARKS. * M * THIS Is the year Uncle Wilbert’s contract as president-manager expires, and I am told the last thing the judge does before leaving his office these days is to draw a crimson circle around the calendar date while he mutters gleefully to himself, “one more day!’’ a a a Several weeks ago a committee of peace-loving citizens attempted to bring the two together at a baseball function at the W’aldorf. Uncle Wilbert was persuaded to take the initiative and he waddled up to the judge, stuck out an uncertain paw and said: “Come on and shake, we’ve been fools long enough.” a a a “WE’VE BEEN WHAT?’’ THUNDERED THE JUDGE. TURNING THREE SHADES REDDER THAN A FRESH LAID BRICK. “YOU'VE BEEN THE FOOL—YOU’VE BEEN MORE THAN THE FOOL—YOU’VE BEEN .” nan THE judge’s voice boomed over the festal board like an angry' sea. Walls trembled, chandeliers swayed, waiters dived under tables and vocalists rushed for the nearest exist, stumbling and falling over their own obbligatos. Since then all the two belligerents have known of one another is from what they’ve read in the newspapers. a a a The show down comes this year and cither Uncle Wilbert will be accepted into the family as a frowsy equal or he will he given the air in unstinted proportions. ana THE INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE AIR WILL BE HIS FATE UNLESS HE HAPPENS TO COME UP WITH ONE OF THOSE MIRACLES IN THE FORM OF A WINNING BALL CLUB. nan tt would be pleasant to see anA other winning team in Brooklyn, whether Uncle Wilbert had anything to do with it or not. Brooklyn is the last stronghold of the midVictorian baseball bug, the medieval bleacherite and the stone age “Kill-The-Umpire” fanatic. a a a Nowhere else in our Hooverized land does this strange species exist In such numbers and with all its primitive and native eccentricity so perfectly preserved. Nowhere does the customer take his baseball so seriously, his emotions soaring to rapturous heights with victory, and crashing to black pits of despair when the home boys blow a close one. a a a UNCLE WILBERT IS NOT DISPOSED TO DISCUSS AT ANY GREAT LENGTH THE INTERNAL TROUBLES OF THE BROOKLYN CLUB. OTHER THAN TO SAY THAT THEY GIVE HIM A PAIN, WHICH MAY BE SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE A PAIN TO HIM WITH HIS 260 POUNDS WOULD BE A PLAGUE. AN EPIDEMIC AND A SCOURGE ALL IN ONE TO A NORMAL PERSON.

Barbuti Remains on Suspension Listjjloie Ray to Testify Soon Olympic Champ Fails to Carry Out Threats Before A. A. U.; Former Amateur Star Ready to Give Details.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 9.—A few ill-chosen remarks about the A. A. U. have plunged Ray Barbuti, Olympic 400-metre champion, into a situation from which he is having difficulty extricating himself. The status of Barbuti remained unchanged today after four and one half hours investigation of the runner’s case Thursday night. He still is suspended from amateur competition until he “proves or detracts statements attributed to him.” Testifying before the registration committee, Barbuti said he did not call the A. A. U. “a gang of fourflushers,” as attributed to him in a New York newspaper. He also denied saying amateur athletes had “lined the pockets of the A. A. U.” but said “certain amateur clubs were making money on amateur athletes.” Charles Parker, the newspaper man writing the article for which Barbuti was suspended, testified he had quoted him correctly. Barbuti denied making most of the statements he was called to account for and refused to carry out alleged promises he could name “a certain A. A. U. official” who knew that athletes received more than their expenses for competing. “I refuse to answer on advise, of counsel and on further ground that it would be very unsportsmanlike,” Barbuti said in this instance. Attorney Benjamin F. Crowley, who represented Barbuti at the meeting, refused to make a statement. Joie Ray’s entry into the case may
