ROBINSON IS TARGET OF BROOKLYN FANS

Flatbushers Petition Ouster of Vet Pilot Max Carey Is Listed as Most Likely Successor If Robins’ Slump Continues Against Giants in Series i • Starting Today. BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. May 29.—Brooklyn’s Robins moved into New York to•:ay lor a three-game series against the Giants which may decide the fate of their portly manager, Wilbert Robinson. Robinson, a target of criticism since the Brooklyn team failed to live up to early season expect a-

Injuries and illness, however, overtook some of the star players at the start of the season and the Robins never have been able' to hit their stride. They are in seventh place, eight and one-half games behind the Giants, current pace setters.

BABE TELLS HOW TO GAIN CONTROL

BY BABE RUTH IN this article on control, I am going to start by stressing two points about wildness. Sometimes it is possible for a pitcher to regain his control by doing certain things while he is pitching. Sometimes the only move for that particular day and game is to take the pitcher out of the box. lam going to point out what a pitcher should do to help himself during his wild moments, and what a catcher should do to help out some more. I have seen pitchers who were wild as hawks for a time and finally were able to steady down and get fine control before the afternoon was over.

First of all, I am going to tell you the part the catcher has to play. Use that big glove as a target. Some pitchers work better when the glove is just held out there for them to aim at. Others like to have the catcher cup his bare hand and his glove, because that makes the target a little bigger. But give your pitcher something to aim at, Mr. Catcher, and you will find it helps a lot. a a a NOW for the pitcher. Here is some advice: 1. Don’t work too fast. 2. Don’t try to throw every ball past a hitter. 3. Don’t ease up in your pitching at any time. Fast pitching frequently spoils control and the faster a pitcher works, the less likely he is to regain it. Wildness often is the result of the pitcher being afraid to put one over the plate. In trying to make the batter bite at bad pitches, he gets into trouble. There are times when you must pitch it over. You know your team has nine men to handle the ball when it is hit. And your arm lasts longer, too, if you don’t strain it trying to strike everybody out. NOW for that third bit of advice Don’t ease up in your pitching. If you must go out for poor control, go out without easing up. Put just as much behind your fast ball or your curve as when your control is at its best. If you are pitching too low, that indicates that you are holding the ball too long before letting it go toward the plate. If you are throwing too high, it is because you are letting the ball leave your hand too scon. You know, sometimes, a ball leaves a pitcher’s hand when the arm is fairly high in the motion of delivery, and sometimes when it is low 7 . a a a TF you pitch too many balls on the outside of the plate, shift your foot a little on the pitching rubber. This makes a slight difference in the line between yourself and the batter and can help a lot. If you find yourself pitching too much on the inside, then shift your AMUSEMENTS

tlons, may be replaced before the Robins begin their western tour Monday, unless his club shows signs of life In the contests with the Giants. A petition demanding the removal of Robinson is said to be circulating among Brooklyn fans. Rumor has it that Max Carey, former star outfielder of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who also played with the Robins, will succeed Robinson. Carey has attended the last two Brooklyn games. Club officials held a meeting Thursday, but denied any mention had been made of Robinson’s removal. His contract still has this year to run, but in some quarters it was predicted Robinson would be willing to step out provided he was paid his full annual salary of $15,000. With the acquisition of Lefty O’Doul and Fresco Thompson last winter, Brooklyn was rated as one of the most formidable clubs in the league.

foot a little the other way on the pitching rubber. Sometimes poor control is due to your poor timing in delivering the ball, and sometimes it may be ycur pitching stance. Steady practice in aiming at a target has made great pitchers out of some fellows who were bothered at the start by poor control. Practice between games when you have an opportunity. Experiment to get the proper stance and timing of delivery if it fails you in a game. But, above all, never ease up in your natural delivery.

TERMINAL , ILLINOIS AT MARKET WILL ROGERS In the Matchless Merriment “A Connecticut Yankee”

500 Collegiate Cinder Stars in Title Event BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent FRANKLIN FIELD, PHILADELPHIA, May 29.—More than 500 of this country's outstanding athletes, representing some thirty-seven colleges, moved on Franklin field today for the fifty-fifth annual running of th§ I. C. A. A. A. A. track and field games. Today will be devoted entirely to the running of qualifying heats with all finals scheduled for Saturday. Those two giants of the Pacific coast, Southern California and Stanford, again are expected to dominate the meet and take the team championship west for the tenth time in the last eleven years.

Southern California, with a wellbalanced, powerful squad of twentyone men, is a heavy favorite to retain the title it won in 1930. The Trojan squad is headed by the flying Frank Wykoff and includes nine of the men who scored points last year at Cambridge. Stanford is rated as the team U. S. C. will have to beat out for the crown. Eastern hopes are centered in Lawson Robertson’s University of Pennsylvania outfit headed by that one man track team, Barney Berlinger. The Fennsylvanians, however, are entirely too weak in the sprints and hurdles to be given more than an outside chance of victory. Several meet records and maybe one cr more world marks are certain to fall
