shouts — to “blow up” in anger “If he’s got any complaints he ought to come to me instead of going to the press” snapped Alston and then in rage he turned on reporters and told them it wasn’t “any of your business” whether Robinson would be in the opening day lineup Tells Off Writers Indulging in one experiment after another with different lineups every day until some of the players complained privately they were “confuted” Alston has repeatedly ducked queries about his plans for the regular season “You guys can go on asking me who’s going to play third base every day” said Alston spicing his words with appropriate adr jectives “But you might as well stop because I’m not going to tell you” As for Robinson the manager said Jackie had complained a while ago of a sore arm He said he had “no idea” that Robinson’s arm wjas feeling better and he was ready to play until he read it in the papers Alston said he told Robinson to “come to me in the future if he’s got any com- plaints” Robinson Tells Story “I just can’t talk to him” said Robinson “I don’t know why — I just can’t do it I don’t think it’s my position to go to him I think it’s the manager’s job to know the physical condition of his play-CTS r “I’m 36 years old” Robinson continued “I can’t play one day and rest four I’ve got to play regularly if I’m going to stay in condition I’ve been working hard in spring ‘training I’m in condition and all I want to know is where I stand “He’s (Alston) got to get off to a good start this year or those wolves in New York will be on him something awful” said Robinson “I understand that but I also know I want to play regularly or not at all” Robinson who alternated be- tween left field and third Jase last season has been going all out to win the third base job this

last season to Robinson’s 1311 Leathers Sit Down to Big Talk Hours CINCINNATI (AP) — Like baseball fans throughout the nation 16 major league players sat down today to discuss spring training However their was not centered on conversation rec- won-los- s ords or batting averages It concerned a more commonplace thing — working hours Specifically the players as representatives of all major leaguers debated the March 1 starting date for spring training The clubs instituted the March 1 starting time at the request of the players Commissioner Ford Frick had objected but when he observed the rule was being evaded he fined the Milwaukee Braves and the Kansas City Athletics Ted Kluszewski home run leader and Cincinnati player representative was reportedly ready to ditch the March 1 date but anxious to keep the March 10 mark which permits the beginning of exhibition contests Under this compromise players and clubs waiting to get into condition early would be permitted to do soi Rookies in particular would benefit from Feb- ruary workouts I The big leaguers also were to discuss the status of J Norman Lewis the attorney who helped formulate the players pension system Some players have said they wan to pay him for work he specifically performs and those still irked at retaining an outsider want him dropped altogeth-e-r : ' Lewis said a full agenda has been prepared but it was “up to the representatives” what would be discussed N i |
