EDDIE COLLINS STARRED
WITH ROCKVILLE IN 1906
On Team Winning Semi Professional
Championship of Connecticut.

only three years ago Eddie Collins,
the second baseman of the Philadelphia
Athletics and the leading batter of the
american league, was a member of the
star Rockville team of this state in
1905, which not only won the series
with Manchester, but the "semi-profes-
slonaT championship of Connecticut.
Collins played shortstop on the Rock
vie team, and came with the bunch
OF players that Manager Billy Lush
secured for Rockville when the North
ern league in Vermont went out of
business about the middle of the sea-
son.
The players included Lew Wiltse,
now of Syracuse; Ray Tiff, the for
mer Brown university pitcher; Dave
onean, now of the Boston Nationals,
and Doc Carney, the Holy Cross
coach. Waite. a Rockville boy, now
with the Springfield league club, also
played on the team. The combination
made very strong team, and had an
excellent record for the season. Col
Inns work for Rockville largely as
sisted in the winning of the cham
plonship, and the deefat of .Manches-
ter, which was the main reason for
securing this strong aggregation. His
batting average with Rockville was
about $50, and he made many brilliant
plays at short making few errors. He
accepted all chances, and always knew
just what to do with the ball. In the
last game payed with Rockville, at
the close of the season, Collins made
four hits in four times up, against the
late. Harry Long, former New Lon
don pitcher.
Collins attended Columbia univer-
sity and played on the varsity base
ball nine. He was elected captain, but
the faculty barred him from athletics
because of his playing with Rockville
Shean, who was also on the Rockville
nine, was with Connie Mack later.
The Philadelphia Nationals picked him
up and sent him to Boston as part OF

NoANK WAS A LEMON.
Trimmed by Hospital, % to 2-Visitors
Baseball Farce.

Noanks notion that it had a bail
team was exploded Saturday afternoon
on the Hospital grounds when the
score of % to was recorded against
the shipyard denizs1s by The Hospital
team. 1t might just as well have been
40 to as far as the Hospital were
concerned and Manager Farrell had
to admit that he had been victimized
into picking up the worst lemon of
the season. He has no use for a repu-
tation built up by trimming such
weddings as the Noank nine, but if
any good strong teams want to apply
they can be accommodated.
From the representations of the
Noank manager before the team came
here it was supposed he had a team
that could make some claim to playing
the national game, but the exhibition
they put up on the Hospital diamond
was pitiful. 1t was worse than taking
candy from an infant and the Hospital
stopped scoring runs out of respect
for the feeling of the spectators who
were not there to see a game of tag.
The next time Noank ventures so far
from home with an engagement to ap-
pear on the diamond, they had better
pick out opponents who are more in
their class

Newport, r. l.. Aug. 16.-The chief
feature of the day before the opening
of the 18th annual championship tour

TONS history, arrived here today and

mated picture with all the practice

AT Snakes Mercy.

Rehoboth, Del.-From one danger
into another was Miss Lydia Smiths
predicament when, in trying to escape
a snake, she caught her hair in a wire
fence and badly lacerated her scalp
before she could be extricated.
Miss Smith, who lives in Clayton.
Del, is summering here, and went to
a small henhouse In the back yard to
catch a chicken for dinner AS she
entered the wire-inclosed yard she
found a large blacksnake lying at her
feet. The frightened woman jumped
back, catching her hair in the wire
netting overhead, while the frightened
snake glided out the other way.
Miss Smiths head was badly torn,
some of the hair being pulled out by
the roots.
