That's what the Brooklyn players themselves think of the situation. By so doinsr. thev echo the sentiments of their boss, Walter O'Malley, who Sporti Writer Maybe matters are improving a bit. At least the Pirates were able to knock a starting pitcher out of the box, even though they were beaten twice by the Dodgers i yesterday at Forbes Field.

What remained of the 20,499 crowd saw the Bucs kayo Clem Labine and still lose said a couple of weeks ago that arguments and fighting among themselves would help the Bums, not hurt them. "We have what can be called a highly exciteable and emotional ball club," Carl Erskine, the ace pitcher, said in discussing the matter. "The boys are all fighting so hard to win that things are said and done which can be misconstrued." Erskine admitted "a slight misunderstanding" between Manager but it was the first time thisl season that the Pirates have They were belted into submis 1 been able to scare anyone that much. sion in the first game, 10-3, but made a last-ditch battle to the final out before losing the night Th ey Love Us! cap, 3-2.

Brooklyn went on to score nine more times for an easy 10-3 triumph. EASILY! Gil Hodges slides around Pirate Catcher Jack Shep-ard to score easily on Jackie Robinson's sacrifice fly which was taken by Second Baseban Eugene Freese in short right field during the second inning of yesterday's opener of the season's first doubleheader at Forbes Field.

"It just so happens that ours was blown out of proportion "by" the newspapers.

Believe me, it's nothing serious. Wc all have one aim, to get back on top where we think we belong." "Yes," agreed Coach Jake Pitler, who was listening ifi on the conversation. "The papers made a mountain out of a mole hill on that one. Robinson never thought that newspaperman would quote him when he (Jackie) t)ld him he should be in the lineup after being out a couple of days because of an injury. The man printed it.

Others picked it up. Alston resented the story. "They made up the next day. Like Erskine told vou, we're onlv interested in one thing to win the pennant." Both Robinson and Alston were tight-lipped about the matter. They took a "let's forget it" attitude.

The Brooklyn leader didn't want to talk about it while Robinson repeated to one newspaperman here what Erskine told me, that he had no idea he was going to be quoted. "It's all over now," Robinson said. "We've got a great club and we're all working and playing as a unit." Roy Canipanclla, the burly catcher, laughed at the dissension stories. "Why, man, there's nothing to them at all. If we fight among ourselves that's because we want to win so badly.

Nothing to it. Nothing to it atCall." "There," said Erskine of Campanella, "is the most excitable guy on the club. "And, that's because he likes Hodges, Snider 2, Shepard. fampanella 3 Podre (Gordon stored on Ree error. lodrr scorrd on a passed ball.

It won't be long before you'll be winning your share of games." "Speaking of winning," the newspaperman kidded, "1 hear you fellows are out to win 154 in a row." "That would be a record, wouldn't it?" chortled Pitler. tongue in cheek. 1 I "We'll settle for 98 wins for the whole season," added the serious-minded Erskine. "I think that's what It will take to win this year." "Not that we'll ever come close," said Pitler, "but, what is the record for consecutive games won?" "Twenty-six by the New York Giants," one figger filbert answered. "It was in 1916, and they didn't win tfie pennant either," he added.

I For the record, the Giants (1918) Brooklyn (1940) and the St. Louis Browns (1944) jointly hold the modern mark for the most consecutive games won at the start of the season nine.
