At any rata, It would appear that the Jovial Undo Robbie made a tactical error In turning Elliott over to a club In the eiime league. Since Joining the l'hllllos the big fellow has pitched fine ball against all comers, but he has been par ticularly poisonous to his former mates. But for the treutment they huve received at Elliott's hands, the Robins would be In tho thick of tho Nutlonal league pennant fight today.
