NATIONAL LEAGUE ON THE SIDELINES bBrian13ell The boys may be turning thumbs gown on the Brooklyn Robins too soon. Just because Uncle Wilbert Robinson and his care free nephews are oft to a miserable start in the National league race is no reason to condemn them utterly.i The other managers are still afraid of the bats carried by the Robins. Rogers Hornsby suggested .in the spring that Brooklyn would be very much in the running, and :certainly a few defeats will not cause the Rajah to change his mind. "They are terrible on the bases,"I said a friend, after Rogers had praised Robbie's boys in a discus- sion of prospects. "You don't have to do much base running on home runs and triples,' said the Cub manager.I GOOFY ON BASESf Possibly he overlooked the fact that twice on home runs last year Brooklyn saw the amazing spectacle of a base runner dashing by a col- league on the base paths. And Brooklyn's record of placing three- base runners on the same base probably will go down in the an- nals of the game as an all time rec- ord. But still the boys across the bridge are dangerous. They pack dynamite in their big bats, their pitching should be good and their fielding fair. It may be very good advice not to sell Brooklyn short in baseball. At least not yet.

PHILADELPHIA, April 24.-(/P)--I Big Barney Berlinger, the Pennsyl- vania strong boy, brought the first day of the Pennsylvania relay car- nival to a climax late this afternoon with a record-smashing victory in the intercollegiate decathlon chain- pionship. A one-man track and field team all by himself, Berlinger, turned in the most brilliant all-around per- formance of his career to outdis- tance a small field of six rivals and capture the decathlon for the thirct straight year. Leading his nearest rival, Fred Klauer, of Colgate, by more than 800 points, Berlinger shattered his own carnival record by a wide mar- gin and failed by less than 50 points to beat the American mark held by Ken Doherty, of Detroit. Barney finished the 10 events with a total of 7735.6135 points. His former carnival mark, set a year ago, was 7460.308. The listed Amer- ican record of Doherty at which he was aiming is 7784.68 and the world's record is 8053.29, held by the Finnish ace, Paavo Yrjola. a steady stance for one of his fa- mouse three foot putts.
