Robins Refuse to Be Serious —Herman Acts as Son’s ‘Nurse’ and Even Uncle Wilbert Argues With Wife

YORK, Au*. 16.—1 have watched some peculiar ball club*, especlally over in Brooklyn, which for years has been the chief playground for strange baseball aggregations. But it is my firm conviction that there never before mas a team in the majors to match the current Dodgers in protean qualities which run the entire gamut from gripping drama to gripping comedy. The things your Uncle Robbie's lads do are either inspired by the gods or seem so ridiculously unorthodox as to defy analysis. Take the case of Babe Herman, star slugger of the Flatbush crew. He is not only trying to win for that dear Brooklyn, but he is endeavoring to gain the league batting championship for Floyd Caves Herman. But what is Mr. Herman doing in his hours off the field in the country of struggle and strife? Why, the great big man of the Dodgers Is acting the nurse for his 5-year-old son, Robbie.

FOX, WHICHONE MEET

3-Year-Old Rivals in Rich Race Belair Colt Slight Favorite; Three Others Named in Travers. P SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y_, Aug. 16.—Turf followers from all over the United States jammed this little city today for the sixty-first running of the $25,000 Travers stakes in which Gallant Fox, unbeaten king of the 3-year -olds, will match strides with his old rival and victim, Whichone. Five colts have been named for the mile and a quarter race, but it will be strictly a two-horse battle with Gallant Fox a slight favorite to win. The historic old Saratoga course has been the scene of many a stirring battle in the past but non ever has attracted more attention or caused a w’ider divergence of opinion among the experts than today's race. Even the bookmakers are uncertain as to which of the pair will go to the post as favorite. There are many who insist that Gallant Fox, because of his brilliant victories in the Wood memorial, Preakness, Kentucky Derby, Belmont, Dwyer and American classic deserves the favorite's position. Others are just as inisistent that Whichone, in breezing to victory in his tuneup races—the Saranac handicap, the Whitney stakes, and the Miller stakes showed enough to rate an edge. A muddy track will work to Gallant Fox's advantage, as Whichone. because of his Injury earlier in the season, wears bar plates which make running on a heavy track quite difficult.

What's this eclipse business? Must be another trick of McGraw's. Let's get to work!” One of the collegians of the Brooklyn menace turned to'his manager and, with a look of, intense disdain, countered: “Say, Robbie, we’ll be playing these Giants all season—and probably licking them all year. too. But this is the only eclipse you 71 see this summer.” Hang me if your Uncle Robbie didn't borrow a pair of smoked glasses, step in front of the dugout, and grab a good, long, look at the natural phenomenon! That's a truly strange Brooklyn club, and it has a stranger manager. There isn't a pilot in the majors who approaches Robbie in homeyness and tolerance of human fofbles and weaknesses. At 66 he needs plenty of sleep, and usually he is in bed by 9 p. m.

Denies Big Offer for Vet Hitter Bv T'nitrd Prets CHICAGO, Aug. 16.—Harry Grabiner, secretary of the Chicago White Sox, denied Friday that an offer of $50,000 and Bud Clancy had been made to the Baltimore (International League) club for its first baseman, Joe Hauser. The veteran Hauser has been going big, but his age is 31. . “We haven’t even mentioned the subject to Baltimore and no such deal has been contemplated—there is nothing to it,” declared Grabiner when informed that Lou Barbour, White Sox traveling secretary, had announced the offer at Washington. “I don’t believe Barbour made such a statement. He wouldn’t, for he hasn’t the authority to handle masters of that kind.” NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—George Godfrey, giant Negro heavyweight, has been matched for a ten-round fight with Arthur De Kuh, Brooklyn Italic, at the Taylor bowl in Cleveland, on Aug. 26.

Phils and Giants on Card Next Bruins Increase Lead to Two Games With Win Over Robins. Bu T’nited Press CHICAGO, Aug. 16. Pennant hopes were at a high ebb in the Chicago Cubs camp today as the National League leaders opened a fivegame series with the last place Philadelphia Philies. Friday's ten-inning, 4-to-3 victory over Brooklyn increased the Cubs’ lead to two full games—the largest margin Chicago has held during the 1930 season—and further gains appeared likely during the competition with the futile Phils. While the Cubs are entertaining the tail-enders, Brooklyn must play five games against the fifth-place Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Giants will be playing Cincinnati and the rejuvenated St. Louis Cardinals. The Giants are only three and one-half games behind the Cubs and are fast becoming a dangerous championship threat. New York invades Chicago next Thursday for another of the “crucial” series occasioned by the Naitonal League's close three-team race, and both the Giants and Brooklyn are looking forward to these games as an opportunity to wrest leadership from the Cubs. The Giants have w< n nine of their fifteen games with ti:e Cubs this season and with seven games still to be played have hopes of personally knocking the 1929 champions out of the race. McGraw’s team also has six games remaining against Brooklyn, making it possible for them to jolt the Robins’ hopes. Manager Wilbert Robinson and his athletes were disappointed over their lack of success against the Cubs, but left here Friday night still hopeful of regaining the lead.
