He left for New York to-day suffering- fror; sciatica and unless treatments he is to receive there are suV cesstul he may be lost to the team for some time. It Is Robbie's vpe that he wlll, ZACH BOWS OUT Baseball's Solid Jinn has retired. To Brooklyn fans, Zach Wheat's career was ended the day lie was released by the Robin officials. Thev didn't like to think of him playing in the American League or the minors, and it is just as well that he lias seen fit to camphor his baseball suit before dropping below the mark out in the A.

A. Brooklyn's immortal left fielder was a man when that was a distinction. Wheat's temperament always seemed better suited to the bucolic life of I'olo, than to the major leagues. Indeed, it was the evenness of his disposition which kept him from true baseball greatness. Your red-letter diamond semi-god should have some fire about him.

Only 'Walter Johnson's docility and gentleness equaled "Wheat's. The public gazettes never recorded a single instance of irascibility on the part of the Robin captain. Umpires and their whims never disturbed tho peace of mind of the leather-skinned Missourian. Rival players never rode him. They knew it couldn't be done.

But there was a day when a flame smoldering somewhere deep in his compact frame flared into view. For the space of a moment Wheat saw red. The effects were startling, devastating. Then he returned to his customary composure. Uncle Robbie and the Robins sighed with relief.

Never again did Wheat show his other side. Jeff Pfeffer was the cause of it all. The big righthander took himself and his work seriously, which wasn't such a bad idea after all, for few pitchers could rate with him a decade back. Jeff's weakness was a nagging sort of self-pity, at its worst when a Robin had erred and the Brooklyn club was on the bench for its turn at bat. It was okay with Wheat as long as Pfeffer moaned about this so-and-so of an Olson or that such-and-such of a Kilduff.

But along about the fifth inning Big Jeff pulled a rock. Wheat had let a grounder through his legs, and Pfeffer wept bitterly on the bench. Zack listened and listened until he could stand it no longer. Without a word he drew back his iron right and let it fly. It flew past Uncle Robbie, who sat between Zack and Jeff, and landed flush on the latter's schnozzola.

Immediately both Wheat and Tfeffer subsided. Jeffs peace of mind was more complete, for he was out and with a badly shattered beak to boot. Old-time Robins say Zack didn't change the expression of his face before, during: or after the outburst. In order to still unpleasant publicity it was announced that Pfeffer. needing a rest, would be sent up to Canada, and that a bit of srouting'would be part of his vacation.

He came back with Bernie Ncis, the stocky little outfielder, whom he had discovered up around Saskatchewan. Perhaps it was a plan of revenge ihat Jeff dug up an outfielder who he hoped might outstrip Wheat, but it wasn't to be. Bernie developed into a streak from home to first when he hit the ball, which wasn't often but he never approached Wheat. CHIRPING IN THE NEST The almost constant bickering which featured the eamp of the Kobins in the old days never disturbed Wheat, You might think that, as captain o'f the club, and being the peace-loving individual that he was. Zack would make an effort to bring the boys together into one iri-oat big happy family.

Such wasn't the ease. Wheat loved his tranquility so much that he wouldn't disturb it long enough to show the other Robins the error of i AS BUSHWICKS TRIM PARKWAYS Dean Smacks Two Over Fence in Fourth Inning Kewple Dean, stocky rlghtflelder of tho Bushwicks, hit two home runs ln one Inning, the fourth, aa the Kandy Kids outslugged the Bay Tarkways at Erasmus Field yesterday afternoon, 22 to 10. About 6,000 saw Bay Parkway in Its opening game of the season. There were seven home runs hit during the game and all of the drives were over the rightfleld fence. Besides Pean, Gerner made two for the victors, while Rellly, Artie Carroll and Scheck accounted for Farkway circuit drives.

Winners Make 24 Hits The Buahwicks made twenty-four hits in all. with the Parkways getting eleven. The homesters contributed eight errors, three of the mlsplaya being made by Johnny Lehman at third base. The Bushwicks supported their, hurlers faultlessly. The Bushwicks made eight rims in (he eventful fourth, tierner opening with a high fly that just dropped over tho fence for a homer.

Barnes was retired but Dean drove the first hall pitched over tho rightfleld fence. Three more hUs followed, and combined with two errors and two outs, gave the Bushwicks four more runs, and Barnes on first base. Dean then followed Barnes hv aendlnc.the second ball pitched to Identically the same spot where the first had dropped Dean's first homer was made off Ed Barries, and. his second off Lefty Boeppler, who relieved Barries, following a double by Buck Lai. Besides his homer In the fourth, Eddie Gerner made one ln the seventh with Lohr on the Bushwicks getting five runs In that frame.

tarroll Gives Ijospts First Kun Artie Carroll gave Bay Parkway Its first run of the game In the first frame by hitting the first ball pitched in that inning over the rightfleld wall. Rellly accounted for his drive ln the seventh with one aboard, while Scheck. hitting for Lou Ferry, made his with one on in the eighth. The best play of the game was contributed by Jack Vermilyea, Bay Parkway shortstop, who made a bare hand stop of Lohr's drive and tossed to second, forcing Carter with the final out of -the eighth inning.

prominent invalids, Jake Flower and Jim Elliott, may be back into harness before tde Robing reach Ebbets Field. Both are working out daily and both insist they are. ready to play. Elliott Is badly needed, too. Ex4 cept for Clued Dubley's fine gamei against the St.

The fast bailer has been ailing for the past two weeks, he said this morning, and It has retarded his progrees. Uncle Robbie also announced that Dr.

Cecil Ferguson, Jhe Miami muscle manipulator, will Join the Robins at Atlanta on Thursday to treat the cases of Glenn Wright and the other Robin cripples. He is to remain with the club for a month. The faltering fnotslens of the Flatbush Robins led them to-day into tne itrst capital of the Con federacy to experience another dip into minor league society. It's the rirst stop on the homeward Journey a fact that accounts for what little cheerfulness the staggering athletes feel. No pther reason can be advanced.

They are playing terrible baseball and hope for Improvement la scant. Pitching, hitting and fielding are extremely spotty. Steadiness and fielding are extremely spotty. Steadiness and balance, the secrets of success ln baseball, are entirely lacking. It developed at New Orleans, where two games were dropped to the Cleveland Indians over the week-end, that the performances of the flock against the minor league teams in Jacksonville, Pen-sncola and Mobile were misleading.

They showed to advantage in those games only because the opposition was extremely weak. It can bo said in all truth that only two or three hitters ln the entire tint hush lineup presented a problem to Joo Shaute, the Cleveland lefthander. He had Nick Cullop's number and had Blssonetto handcuffed, too. Herman hit a couple, but with no assistance from those Immediately following him, his were wasted. It so hapitens that Rosenfeld secured three hits, bnt evpn they fnlled to canse any concern.

Khaute knew he could take the the next three anytime he wanted to. Robbie maintains that this condition will be remedied when all the ailing regulars return to the lineup, and perhaps he's right. With Wright and Flowers ln the batting order it would carry -orward a rally. There would be fairly good hitters even" in the sixth and seventh spots ln the batting order, Instead of sure outs or worse, double play hitters. The Robins hit in to six of these two-ply killings over the week-end, four of them yesterday.

Anytime they threatened a double play quickly snuffed them out. This was particularly true ln the seventh when two Cleveland errors presented them with a chance for a big Inning. Two Robins hit In this Inning and one was hit by Shaute, but out of this opportunity the Robins could secure Just one run. Gilbert's easy roller to Tavo-ner for a double killing brought the session to an abrupt halt and closed the last door to a Flatbush victory. A hit right there, with Herman and Cullop coming up, would have made a difference for them.

Cullop I'nlrnpresstve Incidentally, "Nick tho Greek" Cullop didn't look qulto so impressive against Shaute ns he has in recent games. He did punch out a single ln the first inning, but twice thereafter struck out. fills to kept pumping that fast ball around Nick's chest, his reputed weakness, and the slugger didn't even foul one.

Now there are other reasons, but. that's another story The most devoted hit-and-run couple on the Robins were Ivy Olson and Bert Griffith.

The former is playing and managing out in his native Idaho these days. Bert, paunchy and baldish, travels about the land with a troupe of gentlemen of chance. It is to be hoped, in the interests of law and order, that Bert's path doesn't cross Ivy's one of these days. When Olson was letting grounders go through his famed parentheses and Griffith was puffing out in right field on days when the Robins faced left-handers, the Brooklyn clubhouse was in constant uproar. Veterans say the Olson-Griffith feud was renewed daily, and when I say feud, I don't mean verbal give-and-take, although no battle in which Ivy participated was a silent affair.

Cordial right-hand swings, chairs and bats were exchanged on meeting. And Wheat looked upon the affair with his usually unruffled composure. Leo Diekcrniau was another Brooklyn pitcher with a perse Robbie can place his dependence only upon Vance, McWeeny and Lefty Clark, and Elliott's fast ball will prove mlgih.ty valuable after; the National League gets under, i way. i No News on Wrtgnt 1 As for the ailing captain, Glenn?

The gawky young man discovered, to his sorrow, that the captain of the club was in scant sympathy with devotees of the squawk. Because of Wheat's calm, Uickerman took a thorough lacing one day from Zack Taylor, the catcher, whose temperament was as like to Wheat's as his first name. Leo Mas a great prospect, but an unfortunate disposition spelled his doom as a big leaguer. The Robins were in St.

Louis when Taylor exploded with poor Diekerman under the gun. The right-hander was playing the game they had just lost over again in his room. Taylor, who had caught him, and Wheat were the unfortunate listeners. When Leo tactlessly pointed out to the catcher that his fondness for wire masks was marring his facial beauty, Taylor arose with hauteur, coolly locked the door and invited Diekerman to have it. out right there.

Leo looked ap-pealingly to Wheat, but the Robin captain registered no kapeesh. In the ensuing melee Leo came, home an also-ran.

The big surprise in the pruning of tho squad was the release of Art Veltman to the Bridgeport Club of the Eastern League.
