The punch that car ried them into tho stretch last year is lacking this spring, for it doesnt carry sufficient power. On first base the Dodgers will have Jake Daubert u nless the Dodger star shows up in such bad health thst he can't plr.y ball. HiB contract, forced from Ebbets during the troublous days of the Federal league, has an other year to run at a substantial figure and he has little to worry about for the future.
