I' (Staff Correspondent Of The Eagle.) jiJOLTJMBUS, OHIO ten route with the Robins, May New sights to see and new worlds to conquer stretch out before the Brooklyn Robins as they glide swiftly over the polished rails (pretty, eh?) to begin their fir.it Western invasion of the season in St. Louis tomorrow.

Before they return to Ebbets Field to play the Phillies on Sunday, May 20, your Robins are scheduled to play 16 consecutive games with the Western teams of John Arnold Hejdler sweepstake entrants. As usual, the Western half of the National League Is the stronger half and the Robins will have i plenty to worry them on the road. Is every indication that the affair will be allowed to die a natural or unnatural death, according to your sentiments on the subject. What Important findings. If any, are obtained will quite likely be kept under cover.

This is not exactly what might be labeled "protection" for the average fan who pays the freight and who is entitled to any and all information concerning questionable brands of glove play. If the announced tactics of the Boxing Commission are, accurate one is prompted to ask which is being protected the fight game or the rights of the usually trusting fan who keeps the game flourishing (Mi Brooklyn opens its road campaign with a four-game series with the Cardinals.

HPHE Western teams have not yet J-M begun to show their true strength. While the Robins and the New York J- tJlants have been mauling the Phillies -Mid the Braves and consequently ffiliding In and out of first place, the 'JCirds, Cubs, Pirates and Reds have I sheen giving eachjjther stern opposition along the line. Up to date, the 'Giants and the Robins have played 'the easiest part of their schedule, Awhile the strong Western contenders played the toughest part of fr theirs. As a result, the next few weeks are likely to prove hectic and inter- estlng. To date, the Robins have had a lot with the Phillies, taking six out Jbf eight games from Bill Baker's quivering Quakers.

((TT THAT'S wrong with Washington?" is the alliteration the fans are Vy asking from one end of the American League circuit to the other. Evidently It is something. Up to yesterday the Bucky Harris hirelings were blowing themselves to a losing streak that was rapidly assuming the proportions of a diamond disaster. The team has sunk from high up In the first division to low down In the second. No loss of life has been reported yet, but it has been learned on the highest authority that several hundred fans are contemplating entering Into a wholesale suicide pact.

What is worse, the team is taking its beatings listlessly. Manager Harris Is limping around on his sore foot, tearing his hair by handfuls and threatening all sorts of dire reprisals. He is even talking loosely about cutting somebody's pay check. Nothing could be more dire than that. Some critics seem to think that the whole outfit is still punch drunk from the cruel way the Giants beat it up in the spring exhibitions.

But that is the weakest of alibis. Ball clubs don't take those games seriously Two on the Button Is Enough ED HlIGHEd. a highly satisfactory contest. Many others feel the same way about it, but mere are plenty, too. who are about convinced it was not all it should have been.

Not by a long shot. This being a supposedly free country, all are entitled to their opinion. Brower Thinks "Everything Was All Right," PERSONALLY, I'm open to conviction either way, but I won't ba convinced it was "on the level" until It has been proved that Delanev's training was In accordance with that of a fighter determined to fit himsalf for an important bout. Mr. Brower is reported to have explained that ha discussed the situation from all angles ana aeciaea everyining was all right." Perhaps he has inside information concerning Delaney's prep arations for the battle that prompts him to make that statement.

At any rate, I hope so. Bridgeport Scribes "Pan" Delaney's "Training." HOWEVER, Delaney's training seems to form a phase of the situation that is still a doubtful point. Bridgeport scribes who were on tha ground and who should know evidently didn't think "everything was all right." The Bridgeport Post of Tues day relates: "It Is known that Delaney did nothing but sham training during the past two weeks here and no fighter can fit himself to absorb hard punching unless he goes through tha necessary preliminary drilling. Delaney did not do that for Sharkey. He worked with weak sparring partners and even with this mediocre he he refused to exert himself.

ry his flimsy bit of training and I knockout defeat Delaney threw himself out of the path strewn wl 1 golden dollars." Rumors that Delaney had not been training seriously for the co'U reached the ears of Jess McMihon, matchmaker of the Garden, days before the fight. Whether there was fire in this report is a question, but that there was considernbla "smoke" is indisputable. In addition to McMahon's Inquiry you have tha above intelligence from scribes in Bridgeport where Delaney's camp was nltched. It seems to me that both have unouestloned value and ara worthy o'f something other than "slight attention." Or is it that I'm too particular and exuding in my demands in the matter? The Training Question And "Throat Trouble." AT ANY rate, this much is beyond any reasonable contention: Any fighter who does not train Industriously is not capable of exhibiting his best fighting ability. And by the same token such an Individual could not, under any circumstances, provide a "good bout for the people of New York." or for the people of any other city for that matter.

Whether this applies to Delaney, is, I understand, something the commission is still endeavoring to discover. Until it does discover something definite one way or the other It will be difficult for me to swallow the idea that the Pharkey-Delaney bout was "a good thing for the people of New York."

NO ONE is more anxious than Manager Robinson to see how his current Issue of talent, which appeared to produce unmistakable evidence of. hitting strength against the Phillies, the Braves and even the Giants, will fare out where the West begins and fiir.gers have real hops on fast balls and real hooks on curves. Will Harvey Hendrick, Rube Bressler, Del Bissonette and Babe Herman, gentlemen who hold fancy batting averages at the expense of mauling the Sweetlands and Jimmy Rings of the East, hold up when they face Alexander, Haines. Sherdel, Root, Bush, Kremer, Miljus, Lucas, Rixey, Donohue and the rest of the Western sharpshooters. The Robins haven't yet faced a pitching staff of the caliber of any of the four they will meei in the West.

Brooklyn's future this year depends upon its hitting. If Bissonette, Herman, Bressler and Hendrick can provide Brooklyn pitchers a reasonable supply of runs, an eventual first division berth yearns to embrace our Robins. If not, it looks like the soup again. ing the bases. Bissonette was treated with extreme care and finally drew a base on balls, forcing Tyson over the plate with Brooklyn's only run of the game.

Rlconda then fanned and thAt was that It was a soul-tingling finish. If there's any satisfaction In that. Again the Robins outhlt the Giants and lost. The Giants need ed only three to win that 2 to 1 finale, while the Robins used up four to finish second by a run. In the three game series, the Robins scored seven runs on 26 hits, while the Giants needed only 22 hits to score 20 runs.

Great efficiency on one side and pitiful prodigality on the otner. AI Tyson hasn't hit so much this soring, but he has fielded so brilliant ly that there is no real excuse for taking him out of the lineup. He provided the fielding gem of yester day's game when he raced in to take Jahn's low line drive with a backhand sub of his gloved lunch hook in the urst inning. That portion of the Brooklyn popu lace which sat around the third base side of the Polo Grounds is today thoroughly convinced that Umpire Barry McCormick is blind. When Babe Herman knocked a number out of the left field scoreboard with line drive in the fourth inning, McCormick quite correctly ruled it a foul ball.

From most angles in the park, the ball looked fair and like a home run, but that doesn't compensate for Herman nara luck. Lefty. Clark and Doug McWeenv. who pitched brilliant victories against 'hp Phillies on Bunday. are both ready to begin the series mith the Cardinal tcmrrrow.

As Pure as the Lily in the DeU. YET, according to the amazing attitude of some gentlemen, one would be led to believe professional fist play was as pure and as unsullied as the lily in the dell. Imagine imputing that a gent who bashes the proboscis of his fellow man for a price could for a moment contemplate anything so ignoble as a "sell out" or "frameup" that might net him an easier and fancier sum of money! What a diseased mind such a doubting, skeptical individual must possess, yes? Importance of Rumors In Fight Game. A RUMOR is frequently a genuine prediction of what is to transpire in the professional ring. When I recall the various rumors that have preceded some of the acknowledged "barneys" of Queensberry, I'm inclined to believe they are about as important and as significant as any phase of the fighting game.

Personally, I'm always interested in them, reasoning that where there is smoke there is always a strong likelihood of a flame or at least a spark. Often such is not the case, to be sure, but as frequently there Is "something doing." Rumors, I think, should always seriously interest any member of the Boxing Commission. They should be to him what a fire-alarm gong is to the fireman. Sometimes the ring Is a false alarm, but he hustles to the scene, never certain whether it is such or a raging blaze that might devastate an entire section of a city. That is the proper attitude for a first-class smoke-eater under any circumstances.

Vas For the People of N. YET If Commissioner George E. Brewer has been correctly quoted, I must believe that he has little faith in them. The commiioner was reported to have said: "The Delaney-Sharltey fight seemed above reproach and a good bout for the people of New York. I think it was a highly satisfactory contest and was surprised at the wide notice accorded rumors ol a frameup.

I heard rumors, as others did, but gave them slight at tention. "if the reports of a pre-arranged fight had been proved true to the commission we would have taken ac tlon to stop the bout before the fighters could get into the ring. Commissioner Farley and I discussed the situation from all angles Tuesday and decided everything was all right. If Entirely Satisfactory, Why a Probe? IT IS my opinion that any one errs In giving "slight attention" to any rumor of fnke In the fight game, but of course that is only my own personal sentiment on the subject. At any rate, if the commission is secretly probing the Bharkey-Delaney thing that is proof that It has not yet been proved a "rood bnut for the people cf New York." Mr.

BURR. Baseball charity should begin at the home plate, but like that other more widespread charity shouldn't end there. It Is a game that has a turncoat trick of taking the words right out of the prophet's mouth and rendering him ridiculous. The recent utterances of Bob O'Farrell, Card catcher, are a pithy commentary on the truth of that. "He's got more stuff than he had four years ago!" Farrell went on record rashly to say.

He was speaking of the 1928 pitching prowess of Grover Cleveland Alexander. The facts up to then bore out his assertion. Except that he complained his arm tired more easily, "Old Pete" looked to have his old smoke, hop and control. It was as easy to earn a run off him as It would be to jump across the Grand Canyon. O'Farrell ought to be In the best position to pass on that.

He is Alex ander's regular receiver. He ought to know, but apparently he didn't. The next two times the veteran appeared on the mound lor the Mound city it was the signal for everybody to get a bat and belabor the old fellow. The case of Cuyler Is still green In memory.

The nine runs the Senators gave him at Washington yesterday when he was doing the pitching against his old Yankee buddies caused him to grin broadly and his own liurlinj wasn't entirely displeas ing.

Toward the close of hostilities, however, his smile did become a little forced. The New Yorkers started to wipe it off with hits and runs. Jones began to weaken In the seventh and was taken out by the cautious Harris In the eighth. Bucky Is winning such a modicum of ball games nowadays he can't afford to depend on a pitcher who has nothing left but his glove and a laugh. Jones kept up his chuckling on ths bench, though vicariously, Garland Braxton, another former Yankee slave, put a quietus on the Hug-men's rally at five runs.

Fred-J dy Lindstrom hit of Jim's fast ones into the lower tier of the right I field grandstand In the opening In- ning. In the sixth, Arthur Jahn, the Giant outfielder who broke Into base's ball by answering an advertisement, hit one Into the upper tier of the i. left field stand.

Why Not Blame Other Teams a Littler A LL THIS is presupposing, that the other teams in the American League haven't had anything to do with Washington losing all those ban games.

On second thought It may just be that the Yankees and Athletics are too rugged for the Senators. Perforce, Harris has done a lot of rookie experimenting that hasn't always been successful. After a cursory sizing up one chilly afternoon, Sam West In center looks to have a strong arm and fields well, but his hitting hasn't been what was expected of the former minor leaguer. That falling off In percentage should have been discounted. The American Isn't a minor league.

Barnes and Oanisel havent shown symptoms yet of major caliber. Between Hayes and A Bandaged Thumb. ONCE HARRIS himself gets back In the game for any steady stretch, his Infield will look better.
