TO DROP COLLINS AND CROSS.
Connie Mack Plans a Shakeup for
the Athletics.

Special 10 The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct 16.-As a result
Of the poor showing of the Athletics at
the close of the American League race,
attributed in a great measure to the poor
work in the field of Jimmy Collins. the
famous third baseman, the Athletics will
undergo a great shaking up.
The veteran Collins is to be retired. and
Nichols. the youngster who performed so
creditably at shortstop, viii take his
place. At shortstop Manager Mack will
have another Collins, this one Eddie the
former Columbia University captain, who
has been carried all this year as a utility
man.
Monte Cross, the veteran shortstop, who
has been the star of the big league for
fifteen years, will also pass from the
ranks with Jimmy Collins. Monte has the
option of managing a Western team or
taking the franchise of the New Haven
club, of the Connecticut League. While
in Hartford last week, Cross discussed
this matter
Said Manager Mack: Il will move
Eddie Collins into shortstop next spring,
and switch Nichols to third base. Jimmy
Collins is at the end of his career as
big league player. and cannot stand the
pace. I will be sorry TO see Monte Cross
go, but feel that it is for his good that
he locate we'll in the minor field, as he
must realize, as I do. that his active
playing days areN over. The outheld.
catchers, and pitching staff VIII be intact.
and feel sure that we will have a leader
next season"

Some Underhand Work UnnOticed.

Princeton. Oct. 16.-When Princeton met
Vnlanova at University Field this az
ternoOn there was excitement in plenty,
for the Pennsylvanians worked like tro-
jams all tAe while, and put up a warm
article of football More than that, Villa

manner, which mars what was hitherto a
clean sheet for the Tigers. The final re-
suit was IS to s.
There was no lack Of physical activity
this afternoon, though the mental process
became tagged quite frequently, and the
officials earned their money. Princeton
has been looking for an aggressive team
just TO see what good the Orange and
Black really is. She found it to-day in
Villanova. The Pennsylvanians were
aggressive almost 10 the point of pugi-

Princeton settled down and ripped the
Pennsylvania line 10 the total Of 2 TO 0
during the first half.
A whole bunch Of Tigers faced Villa

the Tiger substitutes of their feet, and
Russell finally broke through for the
first touchdown registered against the
Orange and Black this year. Villanova

While there is no doubling that Villa
nova is stronger than any aggregation
that has yet faced Princeton. neverthe-
less the Tigers revealed many weak points
which have gone by unnoticed till now,
and there viii be lively doings at practice
tomorrow. The big score is misleading,
because the bulk OF it was not made on
straight football tactics and was accumu-
lated on fancy plays. such as forward
