“battle" between Robertson and
Jack Moaklcy, of Council.
Those behind Robertson‘s cause
pointed ‘vith pride to the tact that
their. choice was of inestimable val-
ue to Mike Murphy when the late
and lamented renowned trainer was
taken ill before the start of the big
games at Stockholm, Sweden, in1913
Murphy was a sick man before the
team sailed. On the old steamer
Majestic Murphy asked Robertson
who was appointed assistant coach
to take full charge and Bobby came
through with flying colors.
Again as Antwerp in 1920 Robert-
son was of great assistance to
Moakley, and each and every mem-
praise of his labors. .
